I think you're shoehorning Bond into a similar category as Batman and oversimplifying everything the character represents; they're nearly nothing alike. From their motivations, beliefs, lifestyles, conflicts, personalities, or even thematically, Bond and Batman are about as far from one another as it gets. May as well say that John McClane is like Indiana Jones. And as far as excelling with action sequences, I'd say he's decidedly hit or miss. For one thing, he can't shoot a fistfight to save his life. From the camera work to the choreography, every fight from his entire Batman trilogy was not up to snuff.

As far as his history, I've seen all of his films save for Following, and own them all with the exception of BB & TDKR; I'm very familiar with his body of work and style. That said, he excels with introspective drama and mystery far more than he does action films. IMO, his Batman films can't hold a candle to what he's done in movies like Memento, Insomnia, and The Prestige.

He is indeed on a roll right now as W3L said, but that's part of the problem with his fanbase; they act as though the guy can do no wrong, as if he's this infallible messiah of modern film-making. Personally, I've been disappointed by the likes of Kubrick, Scorsese, and Stone before, so this notion that an acclaimed filmmaker can do no wrong is a bit strange to me.

Nolan is a great director, indeed one of the best around and a personal favorite, but I just don't think he'd be a good fit for James Bond.

Nolan needs to take a stab at horror. Put him and his broand maybe one other person who has done horror, maybe Clive Barker?

A nolan horror movie would be something I'd peg the calendar for.
