So like this?I think a film a year is reasonable. Marvel has put out at least one every year since Iron Man (except 2009) and that was my model.

Warner Brothers takes note of the success of the DCAU, and a crazy idea hits them - what if they dared to do something similar with live action?
A productive conversation with Bruce Timm and Paul Dini leads to plans for the DC Cinematic universe are born.
When do you envision this conversation happening? If Dini is given that kind of influence-we're looking at a Batman Beyond franchise rather than the Batman Begins franchise-which considering Batman Begin's lasting influence has the potential to alter a lot of elements of the superhero genre in the genre's current form in terms of tone and focus.
I know that you don't like Nolan's films-but I think Batman had to be rebooted in more or less the direction Nolan took him in 2005. The Burton/Schumacher franchise couldn't be revived or saved after Batman and Robin. Also-doing so would have been a bit of a waste in that that franchise had killed off most of Batman's enemies up to that point. I'm glad the 2000's had their own Joker and Two-Face to contrast with what Burton and Schumacher had done-and with a Batman Beyond franchise those characters couldn't appear because they'd be dead. Even if they came back as hallucinations or something you'd be stuck with how Burton and Schumacher defined those characters. In the Joker's case that's not as much of a problem-but in a toned down franchise the return of Tommy Lee Jone's Two-Face would look out of place.
