Look at Iron Man, nothing dark like TDK yet it's great and it work because they followed the character of the comic book. They should not try to be creative with comic book movies, the characters are there, just write a good story and pick the right people to make it happen. I am not too familiar with the F4 comic book, I know them more from the 3 animated series that were done. Are they darker in the comics?

I agree The F4 is not dark material. I think making it that way would be a bust. As for Superman, you can make what is around him dark but make him the shinning light.
