As someone who genuinely enjoys the Nolanverse Batman trilogy, this is unnecessary and sounds unpleasant. "No jokes ever" is not a good start. People need bits of humor, even in serious films. (Especially in serious films.)
Dark works for Batman, but I don't see why every one of their films need to have the same tone. WTH, DC. Look at Marvel; people enjoy lighthearted films, too.
