I'll bet anything that just PR drivel designed to shut up people that are hating on the series taking a darker and gritter tone. Even if it is true, if this is allowed to pass then it will send the message to the current developers and anyone who might take up the reins in the future that darker and gritter works, so they might take that as a sight to eventually phase out the humorous part of the francise entirely, and then there will be little to nothing unique about the series at all.Gatx said:
