Agreed, I think this is far more likely to be a deconstruction of the themes in the original series, rather than a "dark" retelling. Digression: I really dislike things being interpreted as "dark." I always thought it was such a silly approach because it came across not necessarily as mature in an adult sense, but rather as childhood media viewed through a very adolescent lens. Deconstruction, I'm all there for there, however.

An analogy for those who perhaps are uncertain what I am trying to say: it is the disparity between Watchmen as a comic book series in 1986, and Watchmen as a multi-million dollar summer blockbuster in 2009.
