I think “Dark n’ Gritty” is slowly being replaced with “Reflective, but Refined”. The rebooted Voltron on Netflix is a prime example: it’s reminiscent of the original 80’s series, but not an exact copy: doing away with the cheesier bits and replacing them with more modern elements. The show’s producers stated at the start that they were trying to make the show they remember, not the show as it was.

“Dark n’ Gritty” felt really special after the Dark Knight series, but I think people forgot that, except for the Batman TV series, Batman always had a layer of darkness under it.
