I think these characters can work with almost any tone.
Remember when Seigel and Shuster did comics about an outlaw Superman fighting against the social order? Remember when he was hunted by the police while throwing politicians around and trapping rich people in coal mines, when he was a radical advocate for the working class?
Change in tone is the how that became Christopher Reeve.
If it wasn't for creators willing to change their tones, Batman would have been killed by the Comics Code Authority.
The flexibility of these characters may be their greatest attribute, it's what's allowed them to survive, it's why the have such broad fan bases.
