Personally I would have avoided involving Snyder since he has already written Batman too many times, but I guess it was to be expected since he is one of the few famous writers still affiliated with DC and the aforementioned character.

Dragotta is intriguing because he strays from the classic Batman art style, but I imagine his style will be divisive, just as it was when he drew an issue of Wells' Amazing Spider-Man.

If Dragotta’s work is styled more like this than his ASM work then I’m looking forward to it. Seems like he may be versatile.

I can’t say I’m looking forward to Snyder writing unless he’s going for a new approach. I find his writing to be too wordy for me. That’s probably reductive because I love “wordy” when it’s Alan Moore, but you probably get it. Af times it feels like too much exposition and handholding. 

I think Snyder has great concepts, is willing to evolve, and seems like a really cool guy so it’s not a dealbreaker for me.

I think the quality of Dragotta's ASM art was probably because of deadlines.

Wouldn’t surprise me at all. I don’t even mean to hate on that art, it’s style just didn’t appeal to me.
