What's so mature about the DCEU?

That's, like, pretty much 100% the MCU you're describing there.
Well, it's my opinion and feel free to disagree, that the DCEU does it better.
What?
I was referring to the tendency of having Superman keep his identity a secret from Lois and her pining after Superman but ignoring Clark kent who she doesn't know is Superman. That was a silly, outdated trope and I'm glad Snyder avoided it. -

It's not more mature. However, it is more serious (a quality overwhelmingly associated with maturity). I find the DCEU, and its characters overwhelmingly brooding and quite literally stiff. How could a superhero in a suit of red and gold, powered armor look less stiff than two men in form-fitting costumes?

I'm talking sum total brooding as opposed to brooding per character or piecemeal. If you don't think anyone brooded all that much, good for you.
As for your recollection of Wonder Woman, she did do a little brooding over her lost faith in mankind.
A hundred years ago I walked away from mankind; from a century of horrors Men made a world where standing together is impossible.
That sounds a bit unhappy to me but, whatever.

Did we ever see any brooding? We only see her talk about it, not her actually do it.
I'm talking sum total brooding as opposed to brooding per character or piecemeal.
Who aside from Batman and to a lesser extent Superman was brooding? This feels like one of those words that gets tossed around the Internet so often it's all but lost its meaning. Much like the term "mary sue". -
