DC working on a "dark universe" movie

With the director Guillermo del Toro, Time Warner might be developing a DC comics movie that's been titled "dark universe" for now. It's uncertain if it's a go, but definitely a shame that this is the only direction they're seriously interested in promoting. Come to think of it, dark is probably the direction a Justice League movie would unfortunately go in if they do make that. I've always thought it a shame how darkness has ended up becoming the emphasis of too many of their projects, and they're not helping by promoting their projects that way.
