Anyone else hoping that this film has a dark tone and not light hearted?

This, but given WB meddling in SS, I really don't think they can help themselves.

No, that happened with SS. With BvS what happened was they had a 3 hour cut (the Ultimate Edition/Director's Cut) which the studio was okay with, then they got cold feet and chopped out 30 minutes last minute.
I was making the joke about the editing because they wanted to make SS lighter.

I keep hearing the term "dark tone". As much as I love a film on the "darker" side, I'm still learning what that means.. Nolans trilogy and BvS were both "dark" but what made Chris's films feel heavier is the maturity and creativity behind them, they are just better films. I think WB trying to constantly live up to nolanverse is silly because they are comparing all the wrong aspects.

Actually, you can if you emphasize his role as leader of the most powerful and feared nation in the world and his political differences with his half brother Orm and extremists such as the Deluge. Basically, make a political thriller with superheroics.

One of the reasons Throne of Atlantis is one of my all-time favourite comic books.

Dark works with Batman because, well, he's a complicated and a tormented soul. Doesn't work with Superman or Flash. Dark tone means, let's mess Superman up again, as if BvS wasn't enough.

A mopey hero does not equate to a dark and mature tone. A dark tone works if the hero attempts to LEAD his fellow man out of despair.
Instead, the characters in BVS are written in a very immature way. Written from the point of view of a teen who does not know how to be a man yet,probably because he never received any guidance in his role as a provider and protector.
Superman doesn't have to smile, but he should exude confidence and (moral and spiritual) strength. He should be an example for us to emulate, not a mopey teen I have to hide the knives from. -

I hope the tone is more optimistic in the end. Not some 50/50 we saved the day but it cost us something. BVS is great but our heroes need to kick ass this time. I hope there is some levity but what i really want are realistic and heavy consequences. I don't want goofy villains like loki or jared leto joker unless they're killing people. I want to see the bodies laying in the streets when Darksied comes. I can't stand how Hulk finds time to punch Thor during an alien invasion. Or knowing where these guys are going to eat after they stop steppen wolf. so I root for our heroes to stop the evil.

Superman in BvS does all he can to save people, whether he's rescuing flood victims or investigating Batman. But at the same time he's disillusioned by people who think he's bad for humanity or thinks that he should lay off the Batman story. In the end, he knows that it does not matter what other people think, it's what he does even if it means sacrificing himself. In the end, his death inspired Batman to be a better person.

Agree with every word.
