The problem is that they undid his antihero phase by having him genocide a neighboring country, Bialya, the origin of the Blue Beetle scarab btw, then kept that genocide canon.
So now they’ve got a genocidal tyrant on the Justice League going “No, you don’t get it, I’ve CHANGED, bros!”
Oof, yeah. Can’t do an antihero with that on the record. Let’s do some comic book bullshit “it was a mass hallucination” “he was being mind controlled” “it happened in another dimension” or something. There’s plenty of ways to deal with that problem and none of them is “I’m sowwy I did a genocide”
