I'm stealing that.
Also, I'd like to point people towards the Injustice games as a model for what a DCCU could look like. Yes, it uses the worn-out old question of "What if Superman went bad?", but the second game especially strikes a really good balance between grim stuff happening and character development, and casually dropping in bits of unabashed cheese like Batman saying "I've got a mole in Gorilla City."
