The DC Cinematic Universe isn't "too dark"

So this happened at SDCC:


As trailers are want to do, it reignited a lot of the conversation around differences between the MCU and the DCCU (if that's the acronym we're using?). There are some parts of that conversation I've been meaning to discuss for a while, and this seemed an appropriate time as any to get down to it.

I will admit, "thoughts on trailers" is something I feel ambivalent about doing. I personally can't stand when people condemn a film that's yet to be released based on some microscopic complaint in an attempt to generate rage-clicks, but I do think there can be fun discussions about this kind of thing.
