Quote: the G-man said: I'm sorry, but I don't accept the idea that, just because "there are no original ideas" that I should accept "grim and gritty crises" being allowed to become as hackneyed and trite as the stuff like "Lois tries to trick Clark into marrying her" that "grim and gritty" replaced.
There needs to be balance.
Agreed. And it was the last 3 years or so that it became this way. It used to be that I could sit down with Young Justice (light, funny), Batman (grim, serious), and Superman (in between). Now DC seems incapable of that. Whereas you can get that balance easily from Marvel. Hell, Bendis himself writes Daredevil and Ultimate Spider-man to cover that balance.
DC does seem more corporate driven, they need a single viewpoint.
