This whole trope is to be frank pathetic, it's an excuse for audiences not to try and connect or empathize. Unlikable characters can still be connected to if you just use a little empathy. A dark and unrelentingly bleak story can highlight how important ideas like faith are which is exactly what the DCEU does. Good things are meaningless without bad things. Hope is useless without despair. This whole trope for the most part is misguided an ideal or moral can only be explored if it's tested.

A grey and grey story by it's nature needs to be dark and bleak because if a conflict has both sides having a point then all you're watching are a bunch of good people killing each other and all that remains is who loses their way first or do both. Going by this pages examples every grey and grey story would count for this trope. So this trope is in my opinion pretty stupid the plot's too dark and the characters too mean i can't enjoy it, it even sounds whiny and closed minded.
