Yes he did. After the horror that was "Batman and Robin" there was no guarantee we'd ever see a Batman movie again, but then Nolan stepped up and delivered (in order) a very good one, a great one, and a decent one. That said, they have their flaws, even The Dark Knight, and I say that as a fan of the trilogy. I honestly think this new movie is a better Batman film than any of them. As a film, shown to someone who doesn't know much about the Batman character, the Dark Knight might still edge it out, but I think people who know and love Batman from the comics will acknowledge that Reeves' film is the first time we have seen the focus on Batman as a detective.
As good as Nolan's Batman movies were, it's a shame that some people become emotionally invested in them, as if they were their children, and then have to hate another Batman movie, with a different take on the character, as if it were some sort of betrayal. As many times as Batman has been reinterpreted in the comics over his long history, you'd think people could accept that the big screen has room for different interpretations also.
