I completely disagree about that. Nolan is weak at shooting hand to hand fighting and Snyder is in some ways better at it, but the warehouse scene is far from a high standard and fails for me in a lot of ways. First, it forgets character and feels like it has minimal stakes. Batfleck just goes in and brutalizes everyone and feels superhuman doing everything. He is shot in the head point blank and stabbed and it doesn't even slow him down. Second, none of the rules of physics apply. The part where Batfleck uses the grapple gun to somehow swing a crate over him looks laughable bad and on wires. It is just as bad as any slow, artificial looking choreography from Nolan. Last and most importantly, it doesn't feel like a Batman action scene. It is too brutal and callous and fails to use the action to tell us more about our hero.
In contrast, in spite of sonar vision issues and Nolan's characteristic choreography problems, I find the Prewitt Building set-piece a much more satisfying, true to character, and dramatic as a Batman set-piece:
Batman is at odds with the GCPD because he is the only one who truly understands the situation. He has to multi-task between defeating the Joker and his thugs, preventing the SWAT teams from accidentally killing hostages, and rescuing said hostage. It is a much better conceived set-piece and is more satisfying because we get to see Batman be his best and be everything we love about Batman. The core to any good action set-pieces is a strong sense of your hero and devising a challenge that best accentuates that hero. It is half the brilliance of Spielberg's setpieces from Raiders of the Lost Ark. At the end of each chase or fight, you are left grinning, internally chuckling to yourself something to the effect of "Only Indy!" Snyder never inspired that in me.
