LOS ANGELES (AP) — Add writing to Batman's bag of tricks. "The Dark Knight" has earned a nomination for best adapted screenplay from the Writers Guild of America.

The Batman blockbuster is competing alongside the romantic fantasy "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," the Roman Catholic drama "Doubt," the Richard Nixon saga "Frost/Nixon" and the street-orphan tale "Slumdog Millionaire."

Joel and Ethan Coen, last year's adapted-screenplay winners for "No Country for Old Men," have an original-screenplay nomination for their CIA romp "Burn After Reading."

Also nominated for original screenplay Wednesday: the Harvey Milk drama "Milk," the romance "Vicky Cristina Barcelona," the cross-culture tale "The Visitor" and the ringside story "The Wrestler."
