Screenwriter David Goyer has revealed that Christopher Nolan may still return to the Batman franchise.

It was reported yesterday that the director was considering breaking off from helming the third superhero instalment partly due to the passing of Heath Ledger.

However, Goyer, who penned both Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, said that Nolan would come back to the film series if the right plotline was presented to him.

Speaking to IGN, he said: "Well, I believe he said if we can find the story that he's happy with, that he would return. And unfortunately, respecting Chris... You know, talk to him after he finishes Inception, which he's shooting right now. That just started shooting."

Goyer also revealed that the two have been discussing storylines for Batman 3.

Nolan’s Inception, which stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Michael Caine, is scheduled for a July 2010 release.
