Let the superherp fit the movie.
Spiderman, Superman are more family friendly.
Batman, Wolverine not.
Some like Hulk can go either way.

Part of the problem I see these days, is when they do produce a more family-friendly type super hero film (possible exception of Spider-Man), or at least what I consider to be one, the fanboys trash it to no end. So then the studios believe every hero needs to be darker and edgier like Batman and Wolverine. I enjoyed both Fantastic Four films and I thought they worked as a more family-friendly type super hero film. They didn't set records, but they didn't fail miserably at the box office either. They weren't masterpieces, of course, but the fanboy hatred of them is so intense the studio is rebooting the franchise already.
Anyway, I've probably gone on too long about that subject. As far as the new Superman movie, I hope it will not be dark and edgy, because that's not Superman. With Nolan and Snyder, I'm afraid that's what it may be, however. WB had said after The Dark Knight that they wanted all their super hero films to be dark and edgy. The trailer for Green Lantern doesn't look so dark and edgy, though, so I guess there's hope.
