More often than not, the DC Extended Universe (DCUE) has been criticized for being too dark. It was launched bv the movies Man of Steel and Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice, which were the perfect encapsulations of Zack Snyder’s signature edgy aesthetic and worldview. The DCEU rarely looked back but occasionally, its grim atmosphere gave way to a sudden burst of light.Conversely, the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) was applauded for its balance between fun and serious moments. Having never tipped the scales too much to either side, the tone of the MCU felt just right. To strike that same balance, the darker DCEU went to some extreme lengths to bring in more joy to its oppressively nihilistic world.What would have otherwise been a threatening interrogation by Black Mask took on a life of its own as Harley escaped the pain by imagining herself in a lengthy song and dance sequence with her enemy set to “Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend.” Sure, Marvel featured song and dance sequences before, but they’re mostly in their series, not in the middle of one of a tentpole theatrical release.
