I'm also feeling a bit jaded since Man of Steel where I also think a dark turn on a character like Toyman would be cause a lot of handwringing among Superman fans. Personally, I'd be interested in having a psychologically disturbed, creepy Superman villain but I can imagine large parts of the audience revolting for making Superman even less kid-friendly, and I say this as someone who likes a lot of the kid-friendly Superman projects.
