TV seems to be the one spot where DC Comics isn't going for solely grim n' gritty fare, with some more darker programming like Gotham being heavily outnumbered by the likes of
Justice League Action, Supergirl, The Flash, etc. But in the likes of film, comics and video games, grittiness seems to be the primary name of the game, which isn't in and of itself a bad thing, it's just that so many of these grimmer fare feel like they're being more "adult" for mere shock value instead of doing what's best for their stories. At least it's understandable why
Justice League Dark would go in a grim direction since it deals with more ominous superheroes like Constantine, Deadman and the other mystical horror-centric realms of the DC universe.
