DC is officially dumb. The Dark Knight does well, and now they think other heroes need to be "dark". Guess what, thats not why it rocked. TDK qas awesome because it never let up, and had a terrifying villian. The darker tone was because of the fact that its Batman and Joker, two very dark characters. Batman never was evil, or even close to being an anti-hero. Trying to plaster his grim mood on Superman is idiotic.
Batman is the only banner character DC has that seems to work. Its because they are scared of being dorky. Marvel revels in dorkiness, releasing movies willy-nilly. Sure, you get Rise of The Silver Surfer, but you also get Iron Man. Superman needs to have a decent villian and I think he
d be OK. Its just that if he's fighting crime its boring, you feel nothing. If he's fighting an equal foe, people would get into it. Darkness belongs in the villian, not the hero. Watching TDK, Batman never gave into any dark urges. Where the heck did they get that idea?
The next two movie are going to be Supermax (which works for the dark idea, and is not a origin story, but a special comic put into film), and The Flash (Dark? No. Emo? No. If either of these are added to this CSI turned super, it will flop.). One of them does work for darker tone, but The Flash isn't a very dark character. DC needs to just tell good stories, not get the idea that because TDK was dark, everything should be.
