I don't work at DC, so I don't personally know their methodology for selecting artists. However, one way to gain an edge is by having a technical degree from an art school that focuses on sequential art. Perhaps one of the most well-known schools for this is The Kubert School in Dover, New Jersey. They will turn you into a professional, and several contracted comic artists in the industry are alumni of that school. Besides that, actually having your art published is also a huge help. Plenty of smaller comic industries are looking for original work. If you submit something that actually gets published, you have a better shot. Honestly, it boils down to a simple concept: It's not necessarily about your talent as much as it's about your qualifications / recorded experience.
