We are talking about *the* Geoff Johns, right? The one who gave Barry Allen the backstory of a murdered mom? Who gave Sinestro the backstory of his wife being killed by a child suicide bomber? Who has limbs ripped off at any available opportunity? That Geoff Johns?
see, I feel the same way. A lot of his darkness is set in the past, or accidentally. It's there in a shit happens sort of way.
I mean Superman exists because an entire planet blew up, Batman because of his parents murder. People don't think that their premises are inherently dark.
The people I think who darken the tone are the ones who do things that setup the idea the world is shit and there's nothing anyone can do about it
