I think the \\\"Five Folk Band\\\" tropes apply here:
Five Man Band (aka Justice League):
The Hero: Superman (although Good Lex Luthor applies here as well once he gets the League to help)
The Lancer: Batman, natch. The late Jester was this to Good Lex.
The Smart Guy: Batman again. Also Deadpan Snarker.
The Big Guy: Green Lantern, Wonder Woman
The Chick: Wiseguy Flash Wally West.
The Sixth Column: Lightning Bruiser Martian Manhunter, in this movie pictured with a lot of Superman\\\'s powers. Makes sense when you realize the main five are fighting the syndicate, and someone needs to protect Rose (one almost wonders if he were Heero Yuy to her Relena Peacecraft-Darlian). Fridge brilliance perhaps?
The Five Big Bad Band aka \\\"Crime Syndicate\\\" (so named since they have their own bands to peform lead with):
The Big Bad: \\\"King of Kings\\\" Ultraman.
The Dragon-In-Chief: Owlman. He made the QED to counter the threat of a nuclear strike, but with it capable of a Reality/Universe-shattering Kaboom soon made him look like a a true Bigger Bad in comparison to Ultraman, whose killings were smaller-scale.
Evil Genius: Owlman again. Would any of the others have the nerve AND the brains for making a relity-destroying weapon? Not so sure.
The Brutes: Power Ring, Superwoman
The Dark Chick: Johnny Quick (he takes the step to make the world-saving sacrifice, and probably the most \\\"moral\\\" of the Syndicate).
Sir-Not-Appearing-For-Long-In-This-Film: J\\\'edd J\\\'arkus (he and Angelique/Evil Hawkgirl get taken out by the Jester in DMOA)
Also, when Batman goes against Owlman, he probably guessed that anything that could apply to his team might apply to the Syndicate, so sending a super against Owlman might mean Owlman had a plan for that super. Only by sending the one who\\\'d best be on a mental dark footing with Owlman could the League hope to win.
Both Bats and Owls get TRULY promoted here to \\\"Hero\\\" and \\\"Big Bad\\\" respectively, and the battle is joined.
Even with Owlman greatly outpowering him, Batman still could take Owlman down. As Amanda Waller said in the \\\"Justice League\\\" episode \\\"Epilogue,\\\" sometimes all he had was his own skills, wits, tools and muscle, and he STILL was able to beat those who easily outmatched him physically.
It almost got so where Owlman tried to hint they were Not So Different, only to have Batman point out to him, \\\"You Blinked.\\\"
