Tone

This is a major issue and one the studio tries to fix. However, in my opinion, the tone isn’t the problem with the DCEU, but rather the poor scripts. Anyway, Warner Bros is trying to make the movies more appealing to all the audiences, thus hurting the fans.

And the tone of the movies (not the palette of colors) is actually their realism. This new Superman is still seeking his path, so he is in no way the Richard Donner version. This Batman is wearier and more paranoid than how Nolan and Tim Burton portrayed him.

But this is the appeal of these movies – their novelty. So if you expect to see more of the same, you may end up disappointed. However, if you want to see new interpretations of the characters, then the DCEU is for you.

Of course, at this point, some might say that the MCU is for children, while the more realistic DCEU is for grownups. I don’t share this opinion. However, diversity is what spices up life. And if I can have a darker comic book movie universe as well as a lighter one, then bring on more movies!
