Actually he did three: Batman Begins, The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises, all of which were excellent. He produced Man of Steel and was responsible for the story (at least as it was conceived), but clearly he wasn't comfortable directing this kind of film. He excels in directing stories where there is a logical explanation and progression of narrative, and Superman ain't that. On the other hand, Zack Snyder excels in overexaggerated imagery that brings cartoons to life, and he too was way out of his comfort zone here.

Had Nolan directed MoS, I'd be compelled to see it, but I think I'll avoid this one and wait for Nolan's next: Interstellar. An exploration of physicist Kip Thorne's theories of gravity fields, wormholes and several hypotheses that Albert Einstein was never able to prove.
