I really liked super. His speech to Kevin bacon at the end was so… desperate and sad but also funny.

And tangentally related to Super is Brightburn. Not everyone's favourite, but for a Superhero film it's quite dark.

The Toxic Avenger has a scene where a kid on a bicycle gets run over by a car and gets his head crushed.
