Every single time, and every single reboot, the prominant promise from the powers that be are, we're going to make him darker and more flawed because edgy hides the crappy story that we're writing.
Batman worked because Batman was always a fairly dark character.
Star Trek failed for me because they took everything that made Kirk a great character and great captain and tossed it out to make him not only a flawed character but a member of the 90120 camp.
Superman to me always stood out as the most optimistic of characters, the old saying was truth justice and the american way.
Now just watch, They'll make superman an angry and bitter character with a drinking problem and a long buried past of sexual abuse by his uncle.
Create a new character, and beyond that I'm still waiting for an aquaman movie, but they'll make him so dark that he ends up working for a fisheries lobby group.

I think they will make Superman more serious but not darker. Where it will get darker is in the villians. Lex will be the Xenophobe he is supposed to be, and Darkseid could be introduced becoming the major storyline in a trilogy. There is a lot of potential in this! I can't complain about anything Nolan touches. I just wish he could do Transformers.
