Violent stuff.
Yup, but the surrounding story is the core. Hence, its drama (and some humor) with violence. Not senseless violence with humor. Or something like that. Iron Man falls in the same genre as Hellboy and Sincity. V For Vendetta at least made a point...

God Of War is violent too; but it has more emphasis on the moral aspects.

The Constant Gardener is violent too; but again, its also a drama, with a moral.
