With that lets get to todays video of the Top 10 Darkest Superhero Movies Ever
#10 Punisher: War Zone While the 2004 Punisher movie may have been
R-Rates Punisher War Zone takes the cake for a much darker superhero movie.
Most people known Frank Castle to be a vigilante mass murderer, but Lexi Alexanders portrayal
took that to the next level with this one.
Some scenes are so violent and gruesome I dont even think were allowed to show you the
video.
Perhaps the darkest moment was when the villain Jigsaw is thrown into a glass cutting machine
that completely shreds his face
#9 Batman Returns With Tim Burton under the control of Batman
fans had to expect this movie was going to be a classic dark portrayal and they got more
than they bargained for.
This sequel gives the dark side of batman to a whole new level.
Theres even a dog carrying a grenade into a store
If thats not dark and twisted enough for you Tim Burton places this movie right in the
middle of Christmas.
Just to add some violence and darkness to your holiday glee.
#8 V for Vendetta I loved this movie, but man is it ever dark.
The masked anti-hero known as V comes up with extreme acts of terror, kills government officials
that have wronged him and even kidnaps Natalie Portman.
Not Natalie!
However he did do it to free her from her own fears, but still thats really dark.
This film perfectly distorts the line between a hero and a terrorist making us wonder if
there really is a difference.
#7 Blade Half-mortal half-immortal Blade is out to
take revenge for his mothers death and rid the world of vampires.
Which sets the precedent for a very dark superhero movie.
With scenes like the obese vampire being torched by a flashlight
and Blade busting up a bloody rave this movie raised the bar in 1998 for dark superheros.
#6 The Dark Knight Rises Christopher Nolan did a brilliant job of making
his batman movies pretty dark, but they always seemed to have good prevail over evil.
However with the Dark Knight Rises we saw a dark for Batman when it comes to light that
he could have done more to stop Gotham from entering its chaotic state.
Good kinda ends up coming on top, but theres still an undertone that Batman watched his
city collapse and therefore takes responsibility.
#5 The Crow This one of those dark and violent superheroes
that make you cheer for a good guy whos driven to commit seemingly justified acts of murder.
Its about a rock musician coming back from the dead to seek revenge for the murder of
his fiancee.
There are a ton of dark moments in this film, most notable the impalement on a gargoyle
and Bai Ling having her eyes pulled out by an angry bird.
The entire movie just feels like the darkest music video youve ever seen and has some very
depressing visuals combined with a limited color palette.
#4 Spawn The 1997 movie about the Spawn comic book
character is without a doubt one of the most dark comic book movies come to life.
The film is based on a resurrected demon with cult powers making the entire movie just a
little paranormal.
Director Mark A.Z.
Dieppe did a terrific job of taking this star studded cast to create a disturbing and frightening
theme throughout the movie.
#3 Constantine This movie is a reconstruction of the Hellblazer
comic book by Vertigo Comics that features a war between heaven and hell to take over
Earth.
With the hope of battling over souls it makes the entire world of Constantine really dark.
Theres suicides, demons, witch doctors and Peter Stormares lucifer is extremely creepy.
Surprisingly this superhero movie ends with the angles being perhaps the darkest and most
devious creatures.
#2 The Watchmen Directed by Zack Snyder and released in 2009
the watchmen is based on the DC comic book series.
Throughout the film they do a terrific job of making it feel like a comic book come to
life showcasing all of the dark aspects of the original series.
The director does a great job of keeping true to the ugliness, tragic background, and personal
evils that the characters all possess.
This is put on display when the masked vigilante Rorschach uses an axe to smash a criminals
head and then keeps going for some reason even when its turned to mush.
#1 Logan This movie is by far the darkest of all the
mainstream superhero movies.
It begins with a daunting overtone that all of the heroes have died as a result of Charles
Xaviers dementia which even the government classifies as a weapon of mass destruction.
This movie carries a very serious tone with Logan filled with regret trying to make things
right with one last opportunity to do so.
Possibly one of the darkest moment is when Charles remembers what happened in Westchester
and tells Logan - This is not the first time that Ive hurt people.
Until today, I didnt know.
You didnt tell me, so we kept on running away from it.
I think…..
I finally understand you.
Now like I mentioned in the beginning lets entertain your brain with some featured comments
Emo Neko says - Forgot to say RIP Stan Lee -I saw your comment on a previous video and
at the time of it being filmed Stan was still with us.
So Ill say it now, rest in peace Stan Lee.
I hope his last word was - Excelsior
The Thoughtful Critic says - Not really a fan of the host, but that was a good list.

My mom isnt even a fan
Ramen_noodl3z says - Your a nerd But one of my favorite nerds
-Ill take it!
All Powerful Sentry says - Hey Rogers !! Please name your son "Steve"
-Im pretty far away from having a kid, but Ill talk to the girlfriend about that being
a possible name.
I think it would be cool.
Side note.
I know someone who had twins and legit named them Thor and Loki.
Jordan West says - Haven't been on YouTube so long that Top Ten nerd got a new host
