Trying something new is not the problem. Making things dark for the sake of it is. The reason Superman and Batman work so well together is because they are exact opposites. One is dark and grim, the other is colorful and heroic. There is no reason to fix what ain't broke, and their tones are not broke.

DC only has Batman as their biggest name, unlike Marvel who has a good chuck of characters the general public knows about. To put in simply Didio isn't fit for his position and the R-rated cut is yet another highlight on his questionable practices.

That's because DC won't actually take anything else seriously. They could easily do several characters with several different genres. The Question would make for a perfect Film Noir. The Spectre would make a great grindhouse horror film. Dr Fate be a super natural thriller. Do a horror anthology with the House of Mystery and House of Secrets. Make an actual Jonah Hex western. Sgt Rock could be a WWII drama. Black Lightning as a blackploitation film.

They have characters that could fit every genre.
