I dunno....Putting "fun" in a comic book movie just for the sake of it is a huge mistake IMO. There are plenty of dark comic book movies that get by totally on storyline. Very dark examples would be "the Crow" or "the Watchmen". Less dark examples would be the Nolan Batman films.
The thing about "Fun" is that it only works with certain characters. Forcing non-fun characters to be fun by giving them "quips" is just intolerable. It works with Tony Stark or Peter Quill, but not with guys like Batman or Captain America. They can get away with the occasional dry remark, but anything more is just cringy.
The major flaw with the new DC movies so far is that they are trying to do too much. Adding in comedy into an already busy movie to lighten the tone is a mistake. If you want to make the movie better, you just need to simplify the story.
