Man, wow. The reason why I like the MCU movies so much is because of how endearing the characters are--partially because of how they can joke around with each other and have some goofy parts of their lives along with the action. I almost feel like making the DC characters more dark and grim and gritty is making them feel less...real? Like, anyone who's that dour ALL THE TIME probably has some issues (see: Batman).
