My first exposure to Nolan was Memento, which was a hollow retelling of a single subplot in the Tykwer debut Winter Sleepers. Next I watched Insomnia, which made me simultaneously hate Al pacino, Robin Williams and Hilary Swank, three people whose work I adore. I followed that up with The Prestige which somehow managed to suck beyond all possible imagination despite having David Bowie playing Nikola Tesla. By the time I saw the first Batman film I was actually impressed by how bad it wasn't, considering how bad it could have been.

He has an extremely narrow, bleak worldview. I have no idea what he's like to work with, but his perception of the universe and mine did not come from looking out the same window.
