Actually he did three: Batman Begins, The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises, all of which were excellent. He produced Man of Steel and was responsible for the story (at least as it was conceived), but clearly he wasn't comfortable directing this kind of film. He excels in directing stories where there is a logical explanation and progression of narrative, and Superman ain't that. On the other hand, Zack Snyder excels in overexaggerated imagery that brings cartoons to life, and he too was way out of his comfort zone here.

Had Nolan directed MoS, I'd be compelled to see it, but I think I'll avoid this one and wait for Nolan's next: Interstellar. An exploration of physicist Kip Thorne's theories of gravity fields, wormholes and several hypotheses that Albert Einstein was never able to prove.

Kip Thorne's theories seem a little mundane now, though they were exciting at the time. The movie Contact covered that ground pretty well, even that has been ages ago. The search for gravity waves LIGO has been a letdown although I admit I haven't checked up on their progress in a couolevofvyears. Maybe a movie about teleportation would grab some attention.

  No matter how "far out" the premise, you can count on Nolan to deliver a great beginning, middle and end of the story (hopefully in that order as he tended to do the nonlinear thing earlier in his career, which I think is the mark of a novice). I'm looking forward to it. So far one of his typical acting troupe has signed on, Michael Caine. They worked together in Prestige, Batman Begins, TDK, TDKR and Inception, all of which I loved.
