No. Just no.

The campiness is not why people dislike Justice League. If that were the case then Aquaman in all it's campy glory should be disliked as much as Justice League and it isn't.

Well if you're bringing in characters that were established as fallen heroes in a film with a very somber tone, you need some of that grim from at least one of them (Batman) to come back. Aquaman was campy as hell, yes, but it worked in the context of his movie.

That is one of the problems, it tries to be both and is unable to be. The movie has more problems than just the personality disorder though, such as the action scenes suck and the villain is terrible. Batman V Superman is campy too btw, it just does it in a darker way with a more straight face.

Superman (1978) is as good as it is because it is fun and has a good story and true emotion and has a voice of it's own, though I am still not much of a fan. Justice League suffers from many of the same problems as the even worse Superman III. Completely uninspired writing, bad directing, a boring villain and is a tonal mess.

Superhero movie filmmakers that want to combine serious, emotional, dark and camp, need to sit down and watch Spider-Man 2 and take notes. It is probably the greatest balancing act in the entire superhero genre.
