Should have asked why the third movie was paced so badly.

Should have asked why Batman in his movies constantly preaches about not killing but always kills the bad guy at the end of the movie.

Dogpile!

Perhaps you should have asked him about Bruce Wayne's "magical cast" and how this fits into a more realistic world.

Why didn't you ever tell Christian Bale his batman voice sounded like he was trying to hard and anytime he had to speak at length with it he sounded stupid?
That's a fair question, because it isn't insulting to him.

Maybe he already knew the answer to that.

Or why even bring up the magical knee brace if it's never even mentioned in the movie ever again.

Even Luca$ gets grilled for his movies less often than Nolan does. At least we got 1/2/3* awesome Batman films and an interpretation that blew away the previous screen incarnations.

(*For those who like only one or two films of the trilogy.)

Personally I'd want to ask him how he copes with really snippy comic book fans who can't just enjoy an awesome film without complaining.

But I know there's no answer to that.

No one ever accused Nolan of ruining their childhood.

On the other hand, fans of Nolan's work have threatened the lives of critics who messed up The Dark Knight Rises' Rotten Tomatoes score.

Actually, he probably doesn't give a shit about what anyone thinks. He made that clear when he defended his most ardent fans and remained mum about the death threats.

Hey, but at least he recognized the tragedy in Colorado.

Short answer is that he doesn't cope with them. He runs away and locks himself inside his house made of pure money.

There is, it's that he doesn't care, if he's even aware of it. Nolan is a guy who is content with the movies he makes, with all the passion and hard work put into it.
