The show is a lot better than the source material, and honestly it would not work in the DC universe.
Garth Ennis made it as edgy as possible because he actually fucking hates superheroes. The whole point of the Boys is that absolute power corrupts, but his exploration of the theme involves a lot of pointless swearing and copious amounts of rape. How are we going to know somebody is bad if they don’t commit sexual violence?
Yeah I read crossed a long time ago out of morbid curiosity. Imagine my shock when I found out the show was based on a comic by the same guy. Thank god kripke was in charge.

The show toned a lot of things down.
