evity and maturity go hand in hand. The harder you try to force maturity and "seriousness" the more immature and juvenile your work appears. Human beings use humor even in the most dire of situations to deal with bad things, when a person is at their lowest they want nothing more than to laugh again.
When someone here compared Batman vs Superman to some humorless 90's grim gritty comics, Some of those '90s comics trying to be so dark to look "grown up" make me think of what it was like to be a teen-ager. Every teen tries to do their imitation of how they think an adult should be--wearing dark clothing, brooding, treating others like they're crap, posturing. Usually by the time you hit twenty you figure out that's not what being grown up is really about. If you don't, you're going to have miserable life when reality finally does hit you. And they are right, some did took the wrong lessons from Kevin Eastman's Ninja Turtles with Akira by Katsuhiro Otomo, Alan Moore and Frank Miller without understanding what made them successful comics in the 80s.
Even Nolan Batman had humor from Alfred and Watchmen in both comic/film had Comedian who maybe a rapist murderer but he told jokes too, DC/WB took the wrong lessons from those movies even to V for Vendetta which they thought grim/gritty would work/sell but V For Vendetta had jokes too.
Marvel is going for the silver/bronze/iron (60s 70s and 80s) age of comics, DC seems set to go for the Dark Age of comics of the 90s?
They do remember what happened to all that right?
*Advances with rolled-up newspaper*
NO! Bad movie execs! No biscuit!
Don't go digging up the rotting corpse that is the 90's Dark Age of comics! That poisonous tripe was killed and buried for a reason!
