They all parallel each other.
Coming from a place of optimism, WW tries to help humanity, sees the good and the bad, but ultimately decides that no matter what she tries she will never have an impact big enough to save humanity from itself. This is pretty reasonable given the fallout of WW1, the death of her first real love, and what she saw.
Coming from a palce of pessimism, Batman tries to help humanity, sees the good and the bad, but ultimately decides that no matter what he tries, he will never have an impact big enough to save humanity from itself. This is pretty reasonable given that, from his perspective, the only real superheroes are him and his adopted children--one of which gets murdered because of his crusade.
Then you have Superman. Coming from a mindset of unwaivering altruism, while keeping in mind that every action has a reaction/consequence. Clark (and then later as Superman) tries to help humanity, seeing both the good and the bad.
Then we get to BvS, a couple of years into Clark's career as Superman. This is where Superman reaches the same point Batman and WW did, the point where they decided that no matter what they try, they will never have an impact big enough to save humanity from itself. They both retired from being superheroes, WW helping from the shadows and Bruce just running his company (persumably in an altruistic way like in the comics).
Bruce comes out of retirment briefly, with the goal of ending Superman before he falls like Batman himself has, and giving Batman a way to actually make lasting impact on the world.
Superman reaches the crisis point that WW and Batman reached and turned away from. But Superman doubles down, he decides to keep being a hero no matter what. This, in turn, inspires in Batman and WW a renewed sense of hope, thus completing all three character arcs.
