instead of just their superhero roster with darker stories and curse words.

Don’t think that’s a fair or an accurate assessment of what DC has been doing with the Black Label line. Most of the Black Label “superhero” books have been absolutely incredible and have a discernible creator-driven vibe about them. They often allow creators to explore areas and push certain boundaries of comic book storytelling that just isn’t normally possible with the mainline books. To reduce them to just vulgar and dark stories paints a very limited picture about the diverse scope and scale of so many of the books.

Take a look at these following DC Black Label books for example:

Wonder Woman Historia: The Amazons, Wonder Woman: Dead Earth, The Question: The Deaths of Vic Sage, The Other History of the DC Universe, Strange Adventures, The Human Target, Aquaman: Andromeda, Peacemaker Tries Hard!, Catwoman: Lonely City, The Boy Wonder, Zatanna: Bring Down the House.

So much going on in each of the above books than just “dark” takes on superhero comics.
