Are you hankering for gore and R-rated action in a Star Wars movie? Plus, Verhoeven's default setting is smirking satire. He shot Starship Troopers through a lens of subtle satire; he didn't really take the premise of fascism-makes-a-better-society seriously. Which is why the Troopers uniforms looked not unlike the Wehrmacht & high ranking Nazis. He would mock the Jedi philosophy, too.

Michael Arndt did Toy Story 3; Simon Kinberg did X3. Whatever issues that film had were only because Fox was railroading the project through without pause, even though directors were coming and going.
Zack Snyder has directed five films to date; the first one (Dawn Of The Dead) was a remake, the following three were direct page to screen adaptions of graphic novels and children's illustrated books (300, Watchmen, Legend Of the Guardians), and when he did an original script of his own it proved to be his biggest failure to date (Sucker Punch.) So no, he hasn't earned my trust yet. We have only the trailer to show us he's being a good boy in the straightjacket Christopher Nolan fitted for him, and we will get a good modern take on Superman that will not be confused with 'Zack Snyder's Superman', instead.

Oh well. Plenty to choose from. It'll probably be someone we don't expect.
