First NFS needs to be running only on the nfs server. You may have
done this but both the nfs and nfslock scripts must be started on
the server.

Second , your syntax for the mount is wrong. It should be:
i                    |
i                    V
mount 192.168.168.10i:/home/batmanbegins/nfsshare
 /home/coolboarderguy/nfsshare

If that does not work we need to see you /etc/exports file.
