James Gunn came to prominence as a superhero director with 2015's Guardians of the Galaxy, but his first foray into the genre came five years earlier. 2010's Super was an independent film that blended superhero iconography with a stark tale of mental illness, physical assault, and gruesome death. It's easily the darkest film I've seen in the genre - but a crucial scene from Peacemaker season 2, episode 2 may just top Super's inherent horror.
