The blockbusters don’t, but there have been adult or at least mature superhero movies around forever and not just existing popular characters in new settings. I think you are limiting ‘superhero’ to a specific subset that excludes anything that would not be aimed at kids.

Darkman?
The Crow?
Constantine?
