8. Marc Webb
An up-and-coming director given a bite at the big time before the few more charmingly indie flicks most up-and-coming directors would need to make to get such a budget and story. However this only brings more interesting ideas, this is not a man used to working hand in hand with a studio and therefore wont be too broken by the system to want to glamorise his story. His fresh face, new ideas and faith shown in him by the studio could elevate this to Batman levels of superhero ingenuity.
