If I could give Nolan any advice I'd say watch the cartoons. All of them featuring Batman from BTAS to Beyond to JLU to yes, to a lesser extent even The Batman.
And absorb it. Not to slavishly ape it, but digest it and get a feel for it, and fold that back in to what you've created in Begins.
And then watch a LOT of good (especially Asian) action movies, primarily ones that focus on people with great physical skills and abilities (rather than car chases and shootouts). See the kind of editing and shot composition they use and what makes them work. In other words, pull back the camera, let shots go on for more than a second, and don't be scared to actually show Batman to us.
That's 2 pieces of advice I guess, and I'd give him the first if I could only give him one, but both would help a lot.
