I thought about that comparison as well. I think a lot of the reason that you dont feel hit over the head by it in JJ like you do in SG is the acting.
Benoist, while super-hot, is a HORRIBLE actress. Conversely, Ritter is hot, but not OMG hot, but is a quite good actress. Add in Moss and Tennant and you have an amazing cast who can all hold their own in any scene they are in (if not out-right steal the scene).
Growing up, I always pictured DC as the more gritty universe while Marvel was the more cartoonish. Now that image is completely flipped. Arrow, SG, even Flash and Gotham and the images of the Suicide Squad movie have totally flipped that perception. Even SHIELD is rather dark and somewhat real-worldish.
I still consider DC more gritty generally... The only thing here is that the MCU has just done an amazing job...
I still say that the DC animated films are the best superhero films of them all, better than any live action... Just too bad they cant get the live action correct...
