* ''VideoGame/SpiderManPS4'' is ''not'' a game for little children, and even a few older children may be shocked at some of the stuff in the game. While the game is still very colorful and has a T-rating and isn't anywhere close to the ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamSeries'' (which had a borderline nihilistic attitude to superheroics), it is much darker and has more realistic violence compared to all the previous Spider-Man games, and the most recent movies and cartoons. There's a [[spoiler:city hall meeting ambushed by suicide bombers with a fairly grim portrayal of the aftermath complete with terrorists summarily executing helpless citizens as a small child searches for his father's body]]. There's [[spoiler:an endgame plot centered around releasing a poisonous bioweapon]], swearing, illegal drug deals, and an [[spoiler:onscreen suicide by gunshot with ''no'' GoryDiscretionShot.]] Yes, a Spider-Man game with an uncensored [[spoiler:suicide]]. Needless to say, there's quite a few dark moments in this one. The DLC likewise is a kind of adult romantic comedy with a lot of teasing jokes about [[spoiler:Peter's love-life and specifically his sex-life, which is still mild but certainly meant for the age-group old enough to have relationships]].

Not only films based on superheroes can be mistaken for kids, but also video games based on superheroes as well.

* ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamSeries'':
** ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamAsylum'' may be a superhero game, but it was only the lack of gore and stronger language that kept it from getting an M rating. The game is so dark, that many are still shocked that it didn't get an M rating.
** ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamCity'' is even worse - granted, there is only one scene containing blood, but the game features Victor Zsasz telling of why he carves his own skin to keep count of murders, the Penguin audibly freezing a cop's hand and shattering it with a hammer and [[spoiler:Hush]] slicing people's faces off ''before killing them'' so he can [[spoiler:look like Bruce Wayne]] to name a few.
** The prequel ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamOrigins'', likewise, is chock full of not-kid-friendly content. Near the beginning of the game, [[spoiler: Joker, disguised as Black Mask, murders the police Commissioner via gas chamber during a prison riot]], and it only gets worse from there. Highlights include [[spoiler: Mad Hatter kidnapping a young girl, who, even after being rescued by Batman, is clearly emotionally damaged for life, Shiva murdering/attempting to murder police officers to draw Batman's attention, the bank manager laughing to death with a [[NightmareFace permanent smile plastered on her face]] from Joker's toxin, Bane almost murdering Alfred, and an ''[[ThroughTheEyesOfMadness entire sequence]]'' played from The Joker's point of view, complete with a picture of [[HumanoidAbomination how he sees Batman]].]]
*** It doesn't help that you play the game as a ''much'' less refined and experienced Batman than usual, who is ''much'' more brutal than his ten-year-older-version you play in the other games. Bats has several {{Jerkass}} moments throughout the game and he has a few moments that even approach SociopathicHero levels. Luckily, he goes through some CharacterDevelopment as the story goes on.
** The fourth game, ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamKnight'', actually got an M rating from the ESRB. Why, you ask? There's [[spoiler: two suicides]], [[spoiler: several torture scenes]], and the player can [[spoiler: actually shoot hostages and certain members of Batman's rogues gallery in a hallucination near the end of the game.]] And that's just the main game, without the Season of Infamy DLC which is notably BloodierAndGorier. No doubt, however, uninformed parents will still buy it for young, easily-scared children, because it stars Batman and comics can't be ''that'' bad, right?
*** Then there's the playable Red Hood, whose primary gadget is always an instant kill, and who breaks his enemies necks to silently take them out. While the player could kill his enemies as Joker in Arkham Asylum, his kills were limited to one handgun shot and takedowns still had some humor value.
** The next (and so far final) game, ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamVR'', also received an M rating. Guess solving a murder in virtual reality doesn't go over well with the parents.
* ''VideoGame/InjusticeGodsAmongUs'' is another superhero game with incredibly heavy mature content that our heroes have to confront. However, that doesn't stop younger gamers from getting actively involved with the gritty story anyway. In the main campaign, ''Superman'' of all characters pulls a FaceHeelTurn and [[AxCrazy goes on a killing spree]], becoming an EvilOverlord conquering the entire universe. For bonus points, the story opens up with the man in blue ''shoving his arm into the Joker'' to avenge his murdered wife Lois Lane and Metropolis. The game features an abundance of blood, morality issues, sexual innuendos frequently dropped between certain characters, and naturally violent moves to act as finishes. It should say a lot that the game was developed by the creators of ''Franchise/MortalKombat''.
** ''VideoGame/Injustice2'': As with the first game, it ''is'' a fighting game featuring the beloved superheroes that kids look up to, but it was clearly not made for kids in mind. There's brutal violence, several {{Family Unfriendly Death}}s, references to murder and rape, sexual themes and innuendos, surprisingly prominent swearing, complex morality issues, and to top it all off it takes place in the DarkerAndEdgier Injustice Universe, which means the upstanding good guy counterparts are nowhere in sight. It also contains ''ComicBook/{{Hellboy}}'' and ''Franchise/MortalKombat'' characters Raiden and Sub-Zero as guest characters. In terms of tone, think less Franchise/DCAnimatedUniverse and more WesternAnimation/DCUniverseAnimatedOriginalMovies.
