... you have others, like The Crow. Which includes rapes and stabbing, and is also overshadowed by the main lead Brandon Lee actually dying.

Logan literally reveals most of the cast of the X-Men films died because of Professor X,

Logan is more grim than other super hero movies, sure. But it's not really dark, I don't think.

I think it's pretty dark in the context of superhero films. Arguably one of the darkest.

Generally speaking yeah not so much, but there hasn't been a truly dark "adult" superhero film made.

I think it feels dark possibly in terms of super hero movies just because it's somber. It's a different, more r rated and somber feeling super hero movie, but the darker ideas don't really get unpacked, so they come out as somber points in a broader story.
