The film has to choose a tone IMO. Can't just do a half dark tone for Bats and half light tone for Supes.

I would agree.. they need to choose the tone for their films and stick to it..

The dark tone that Man of Steel chose was silly and here it continues. For Dc's sake hopefully Batman can save Superman who is Deadpool's ***** at the box office.

Stop the presses I agree.. The dark tone from MOS made no sense and was a huge mistake.

Like I've said before I like dark movies, even more so that light heated ones.
But If done right.
DC/WB seem to not get a grasp of how to do this. And they do it for the wrong characters.
For Batman , that shit is awesome.
But then you have then totally missing the point with others characters. For example DCU's version of Aquaman. Pretty much, "let's be as fuqing edgy as possible."
It's like they are trying so hard to make these characters "cool". Like they are ashamed of the source martial. Now Aquaman looks like king edge lord. Dark, brooding, tattoos (because that screams bad ass right?), scowl, Rob zombie mixed with Kal Drogo.

That's what bothers me. Not the dark tone.

So you want another Donner Superman and Adam West Batman? How would you do Aquaman?

Give it up, golgo.

Mamoa will give a good performance, IMO. He has the Rock type charisma, IMO.

His Conan film was pure shit.

Well Winter Soldier was definitely a more serious tone than most other Marvel films. Civil War looks to be the same.

I agree there needs to be a level consistency (which both the MCU and DCEU are doing) but each film can/should still vary in tone a bit, depending on what suits that film.

I agree in hindsight it might have been a mistake given BvS is even darker, and now the whole Universe just seems really Grimm.

But for BvS- A story about a Brutal Batman on a mission to take out Superman, A darker tone is going to suit it more than a lighter tone. Suicide Squad would also be silly with too much of a Light tone. and like you said above there needs to be a level of consistency between the film's tones as well.

So shouldn't we all stop obsessing with the "dark tone" of the DCEU so far, and just admit that tone suits BvS and SS best?

The important part to get right is with the character portrayal themselves, and whilst Batman is being portrayed as a Brutal outlaw, Superman is being portrayed as a Boy Scout wanting to win the trust of the world and scared of the damage his powers can do. So the characters are being done justice IMO.

So his post agreed with me and thus you do even though you've praised about the Man of Steel. You've fallen quite low.

While meh actors have done great performances given certain roles, I have strong doubts Mamoa's Aquaman will be one of these instances. Hope for the best though.

Three years later and I still don't know what made Man of Steel "dark".

The Dark Knight Trilogy was dark. All of Batman's villains tried to show him that the people he risked his life to protect were no better than the criminals he protected them from. They psychologically and philosophically challenged him.

The darkest thing in MoS was a Kryptonian eugenics program and the morally gray choice of killing Zod (a choice, I might add, that many film superheroes have been taking lately; including Batman). Now it did take itself seriously, but so did the first X-Men movie. So did Blade, Forrest Gump, and A Fistful of Dollars. Are these all "dark" films?

For what it's worth, I don't consider Winter Soldier to be dark either, just serious.

In Russo Bros I trust.

Kind of a sad article that talks about Iron Man's future post Civil War. No spoilers; this specifically hints at Robert Downey Junior's future with the MCU.

Sucks, he's my favorite MCU Avenger thus far, Cap is close behind. Do hope he's kept and has some part/role in Infinity Wars at least.

Thanos better live up to the hype.

Can't see it, tbh. The actor's been doing this since what, 2007? That's nine years on and off. And he's a fair bit older than any of the other actors too, so I could see him wanting to take it easy.
