New York Times Profiles DC’s Grit

Today's New York Times features an article about DC's plan to overhaul its monthly comic book line through gigantic stunt mini-series. It's mostly a puff piece, as the negative reaction to the material isn't given a spokesperson to compete with the DC executives and creative talent.

The one thing I don't get is how this material can be described as "sophisticated" without anyone ever questioning what that means. Less naive? More complex? Appealing to the taste of sophisticates? If any of these apply, it's only in really debased, relative terms. It continues to read like straight-forward dramas of High Asskickery to me. I mean, what's so sophisticated about a lobotomy?
