The Film's Whole Arc Comes From One Comic's Big Idea
By the end of the movie Bruce consciously shifts his mission away from vengeance and toward hope for Gotham. That exact turn is lifted straight from the graphic novel Batman: Ego, which Reeves has repeatedly cited as one of the single biggest influences on the whole film.
