The article you linked to says this:
While DC has a history of copying many of Marvel's characters, both companies have been copying each other for quite a while now. DC has copied a number of Marvel characters like Namor and Iron Man, but Marvel has arguably ripped-off even more from DC.
So what the hell is your point? Everyone knows that both companies have been knocking off of each other for ever.

Especially in recent films. Name the recent Marvel films that have ripped of DC and name the DC films that they have ripped off.

Name the recent Marvel films that have ripped of DC and name the DC films that they have ripped off. In recent memory, I remember Aquaman borrowing heavily from Black Panther and Thor. Aquaman finished filming before BP was released, so it obviously couldn’t have been influenced by that. The movie was primarily based on the New 52 run by Geoff Johns. Birds of Prey was definitely influenced by the Deadpool movies, though.

Avengers: Infinity War/Endgame (2018 &2019): Justice League (2017 - Thanos = Steppenwolf/Darkseid). Oh wow both had a villain yeah that's a total rip off. But Justice League 2017 was a rip off of The Avengers 2012.
Captain Marvel (2019): Green Lantern (2011) The similarities between those 2 characters go back far before either movie and are just an example of what I said earlier both companies rip off each other all the time.
Captain America: Civil War (2016): Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016) Well if this is a rip off at least it was an improvement since Civil war beat the shit out BvS with the critics, the fans, and the box office.
Spider-Man: Far from Home (2019): DC's Multiverse concept. Right because no one else including Marvel has ever had a multi-verse before (sarcasm) BTW there was no multiverse in Far From Home, Mysterio pretended that he was from a different Universe.
DC Showcase: Dr. No
(circa 1963)
Black Panther (2018): James Bond So James Bond is a DC movie?
Those are the recent ones.
What about
Suicide Squad ripping of GOTG by having a team of criminal using lots of humor and lots of pop songs in the sound track? Is that a rip off in your mind?

Pop culture is general always rips each off. Star Wars ripped off Flash Gordon and then Flash Gordon 1981 ripped off Star Wars. It's the quality of the individual products that matters.

I thought his CW joke was pretty lame. I’m just saying that the production timeline for AM would’ve made it impossible for it to copy BP.

Both Aquaman and Black Panther draw their story-lines from the classic struggle of brother against brother that go back as far as Cain and Able.

All properties are "rip offs" of other properties going all the way back to the Bible, Shakespeare, Greek mythology, Beowulf, King Arthur etc. All of those are still being copied today. So why are you singling out Marvel movies. Marvel comics copies DC comics then DC copied Marvel comics then Marvel copied DC movies then DC copied Marvel movies and so on. Why not talk about the actual quality of the product instead of suggesting that "copying" somehow disqualifies a product?

League of shadows Batman Begins - "Every time a civilization reaches the pinnacle of its decadence, we return to restore the balance" Except the only commonality is the word balance, the League of Shadows step in once a population has devolved into a seemingly irreversible level of corruption, at which point they interfere and destroy said civilisation resetting things, Thanos does what he does because he see's existence at it's current path and growth to be unsustainable so he wants to eradicate half of all life in the universe at random to restore the balance of nature, the LoS are motivated by societies corruption and they make judgements over individual societies, Thanos is motivated by a theoretical ideology and doesn't judge any individual society by their actions, good bad or indifferent his actions remain the same regardless.
This is like saying Spider-Man rips off Superman because they both wear red and blue costumes regardless of the fundamental differences in their characters.
I mean Hydra feels more similar to the LoS, both are secret organisations responsible for mass murder and terror who try to guide civilisations fate from the shadows holding themselves as judge and jury over the masses with their solution to their perceived problems being to murder people on mass to achieve their goals, but then this isn't strictly a DC or Marvel issue as it's a common trope in entertainment, as are most of the similarities people point out between the various movies.

The idea or concept of a brother against brother rivalry (or any other idea or concept) is not really a copyrightable thing, so that's neither good or bad in itself. Now if someone decides to make a movie (like the original Captain Marvel, now called Shazam) and your rival studio decides to produce a film about their character, of which the name, Captain Marvel was taken and releases it around the same time, then you've got an argument. The same thing goes for Avengers, Civil War, and Black Widow.

The commonality is both villain characters restoring balance to a civilisation through perceived exaggerated violent acts. The deeper exact reasons are not really relevant because the broad concept is the same. And since Thanos originally was designed to have motivations to please Death who wasn't around in the movie, they had to take inspiration from somewhere which was probably Batman Begins.

The also wanted to say that they had a female superhero film.

The also wanted to say that they had a female superhero film. Except making the film didn't help them keep the trademark, so long as they used the IP and name in some active form they had the rights to it, along with you know filing for the trademark every so many years, so even if they name made a movie about the character they could have kept the trademark for ages so long as they made comics under the title and kept an active trademark over the name going, the movie doesn't impact this in much of any way.

The deeper exact reasons are not really relevant because the broad concept is the same. And since Thanos originally was designed to have motivations to please Death who wasn't around in the movie, they had to take inspiration from somewhere which was probably Batman Begins. Again not really, the LoS do what they do to restore balance to civilisations on the brink of destruction, the idea probably being that they purge or cut out the diseased part of the civilisation allowing for a second chance for the healthy part of it to flourish.
Thanos isn't interested in civilisations, that has no impact on his actions, he simply believes the current level of life in the universe and continued growth is unsustainable so he wipes out half of all life, this isn't just on civilisations, he kills half of all life sentient or not, it doesn't matter how populated a world or a civilisation is 50% of the and 50% of any other living creature is getting taken away, and again Thanos makes sweeping action regardless of circumstances, the LoS take focused action based entirely on circumstances.
Also this is not a thing only Batman Begins ever did, to say well it was probably because of Batman Begins is ridiculous, it's a trope and was a trope even when Batman Begins did it, genocide bad guys isn't something new nor is genocidal bad guys who think they are good guys new either.
