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

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.

Superman will always have those who doubt him, or just afraid of his power. Why should he care and become emo for it ? That doesn't resemble strong will power and confidence, which is basically, being Superman. Then there is Batman, hell bent on killing Supes, for no apparent reason. The whole movie doesn't make any bit of sense.
How the name, "Martha" brought out the real Batman

The problem with the DCEU was never the "dark tone", which I honestly don't think is that dark, just more serious. The problem is that that was
all
they had. There's a difference between being tonally consistant and being static. The lack of variation in tone made the movie feel bland, and the writing didn't help. I'm not saying the movie needs to be tonally bipolar, but it needed to be more dynamic. Justice League definately needs levity. They are a team, and teammates aren't serious with eachother
all
the time. To build any kind of team dynamic, they are going to need more than what they had in BvS. Marvel-esque levity is not a bad thing, its about picking the time and place for it (AoU being a bad example of it, CA:TWS and CA:CW being good examples), if DCEU can find the balance, they can still have a film that is considered to be serious or 'darker,' but avoids feeling dreary and broody. They need better writing.

I hope Justice League doesn't borrow stuff from the Avengers films.
If you haven't seen the footage trailer you should already know they are attempting to have "Marvel like" humor.

I don't mind levity - actually I encourage it, especially when they are trying to build a team dynamic, and given its in the right time and place - but that line: "I hear you talk to fish" or whatever it was reminded me wayyyyyy to much of "So, you like cats?" Except
that
felt a lot more consistant with something Sam would say, and I think Mackie has the kind of personality where he can deliver lines like that with ease, and make them funny. That fish line made me cringe. I hope they cut it from the movie.

Yeah it sounds like forced humor. There's a difference between telling jokes and having a sense of humor (or levity).
I think it was funny for the wrong reason: Aquaman has been the button of jokes for a long time. However, in the comics he is the leader of a powerful nation. If Batman tried that line on Submariner, Bruce would be sleeping with the fishes! Lol -

Humor is fine as long as its natural and it isn't forced or inappropriate for a scene. Marvel does naturally well at times, sometimes not, but are really known for having levity in their movies.
JL can be the same way and still have its dark tones, depending how its executed.

Yep, they just have to go the way of CA:TWS and CA:CW rather than the way of AoU and they'll be fine, script permitting
