Making Batman dark and gritty is one thing...but doing that to Superman is the thing that always felt odd and out of place to me as it goes against what Superman represents.

Batman and Superman have always had that perfect yin-yang relationship going on as Superman represents something Batman isn't, so I feel that something is lost when you take that dynamic away from those two.
