I think you've gone slightly offtangent here. I repeat, my main bone to pick with Nolan is his ability as a visual storyteller, the most fundamental element of the film language. I have zero complaints about his content, actor direction and choice of material. And no, Batman Begins has poor action (or more precisely, the execution of the action) no matter what you say. Its sequences were clunky, clumsy and workman-like. They had no rhythm, no 'beat'. Yes, its a reboot like Casino Royale, but the Bond movie had great action sequences, so it can't hide behind the 'realistic' excuse.
