Nolan was able to pull this off as well with his Batman series, they were as dark as comic book movies get but they still had an element of fun there. But I can't remember a single joke or scene that caused me to crack a smile in Man of Steel, and if that's the route their going for with SvB then I don't think it'll work

That's the biggest thing that worries me about where DC is headed. They take their characters a little too seriously. Now that DC kinda has a direction and some guidance, they are attracting some quality people to the fold. I think we are going to get some pretty decent movies. But if early promotional stuff on BvS is any indication, its going to be another gritty sordid affair.
Is it too much to ask to make a DC movie thats a little fun?
I remember one of the head writers for DC making the comment in a MoS presser that Superman is such an iconic character that in his publication history he is written in a way that reflects the times in which they are living. I think MoS is kinda written that way. But is that really necessary? Superman is a silly character. Make him fun.
While I enjoyed MoS, I was semi confused by it. All of the trailers leading up to it, I thought nailed it. "You will give the people an ideal to strive towards, they will race behind you, they will stumble they will fall. But in time they will join you in the Sun. In time you will help them accomplish wonders." ......Then in the movie he destroys half a city and kills a dude.
