It's written by David Goyer

I haven't seen the script itself, and don't know offhand if it's escaped online, but I've read a few script reviews by folks who were allowed to read it. Everything points to it being THE SHIT, not just poop. Miller is damn good, but he ain't the only guy that can write Batman stories. Besides which, if Miller were to write the movie, people would get pissed off that it wasn't based on "The Dark Knight Returns" no matter how good it might be.
There's a two-part interview with Goyer at Ain't It Cool News. Most of it focuses on Blade: Trinity (makes sense, he directed that one) but there's a fair amount of Bat-talk in it, too. Since Lucas shit-canned Frank Darabont's Indy 4 script and I'm not all that confident of his ability to not fuck up Star Wars: Episode III, this Batman movie is now my most-anticipated movie for summer '05.
