What tone are we shooting for? Light-hearted like the 2000's series or are we going the comic book route and being serious? Trying to decide the kind of tone for how I want to portray Al.

I'd say a mix of both depending on situation. 

Lighthearted while off duty, serious if its a serious villain. Non serious if its someone like Control Freak. xD

sort of like the Marvel cartoons atm. Don't know of any running DC cartoons that fit that mold atm.
