I'm sure there is some contract somewhere that prohibits it but if you're going to have a universe, have a universe. And I like the CW character. I think he would fly on the big screen.

DC has decided to keep the Cinematic Universe and the TV universe separate, which is why there's a different Superman, Flash, etc. from the films. They view them as separate entities and in a way, it's worked out well because the TV unit has been successful whereas the DCU has not, at least in terms of fan satisfaction.
Personally, I think the entire DCU has been an epic disaster from the start, with no plan of action. They've tried to emulate Marvel's success but instead of doing it slowly, with individual films that eventually culminate into the Justice League, they tried to do it with a bang and force the audience into caring for characters, despite the story. Obviously, it's not working.
Also, I have no idea is the WW film will work at the end of the day, as they're still editing. But hiring a female director, just because WW is a female lead character, was one of the dumbest moves any studio could make. This isn't a slight on Patty Jenkins (at least until I see the film) but I find it hard to believe that she was the most qualified person to direct WW.
Warner Brothers handling of the DCU has been atrocious and every time they try to "fix" it, it gets worse.
