This is awesome news if it's true.
Next to "Watchmen" I consider Frank Miller's "The Dark Knight Returns" to be the best graphic novel ever written. I've read it several times and it just gets better with age. I sincerely hope they make it into a movie one day.
In the meantime we will just have to settle for the next best thing.
Now granted this is just a rumor but it's intriguing. A "source" close to Miller was quoted by "The Independent," saying:
“Frank had no idea the announcement in San Diego was going to happen so it did come as a surprise. He’s going to be meeting up with Zach in the next few days to go over the plans for the Superman film so things should be clearer after that.”
It is important to note that just before the big unveil about the Batman/Superman movie at Comic-Con, Harry Lenix did read some dialogue from "The Dark Knight Returns"....and then promptly said that wasn't going to be the storyline. If this meeting does occur, the worst case scenario is that Miller gives Snyder some direction as to where the plot should go. Best case scenario, Miller takes over for David S. Goyer and writes the whole script. That...would....be...EPIC. Doubtful though.
Aside from who's going to play Batman I think everyone's biggest concern about this film is what the storyline will be. There are tons of great storylines involving DC's most iconic heroes. If the producers and Snyder are smart, they will dip from that well, rather than trying to do something original.
The untitled Batman/Superman movie opens summer 2015.
