Of the choice given - Spidey everytime.
But Batman is surely the darkest and deepest of all super-heroes after the Miller treatment?
Wolverine and Daredevil have potential.
But I think a postmodern treatment of Captain America is well overdue and could be interesting. Some guy pulled out of the 1940s made into the perfect human being and then unleashed as a modern day super-soldier.
The opportunity for attitude comparisons and modern day self analysis are so rife that pop psychologists could have wet dreams for years over that one.

Punisher
Darkest super-hero has to go to the Punisher under the Max imprint when Garth Ennis wish writing.
I always found the punisher too concrete in his conviction, too lacking in self doubt, too black and white - To be truly interesting as a character.
But I don't know the writer you are referring to. So that may well have changed since I last took interest in such things (many many years ago)

3 men walk Into a bar.....
Bad jokes : onifre :: creation "science" : evolutionists
A comedian, a creationist and an atheist walk into a bar......
The barman says - "Whichever one of you makes me laugh the most get's free drinks all night".
The creationist says - "The Earth is less than 10,000 years old and Noah shared the ark with his pet Tyrannosauras Rex"
The atheist says - "The universe popped into existence about 15 billion years ago and our entire existence is due to nothing but blind random chance"
The comeidian says - "With you two fucking jokers in tow I am out of a job" before throwing his mic at the barman and storming off to review his career options.
If you want any of the rest of us to commit ritual suicide, tell us the one about Piltdown Man or the one about the Second Law of Thermal Documents.
Dude - I tried.....

Re: 3 men walk Into a bar.....
The comedian says: I just bangin' both their moms...
The barman says - "You fathered either of these two fuckwits and I'll give you free drinks all night just out of sympathy"
