He works outside the law, and in this movie, he's dealing with a lot of guilt. Innocent people are trying to take up his mantle and some are being killed. Batman's character arc is trying to retire in this movie.
He doesn't want to do this anymore. This is a new and unique take on the hero. It sets this Batman movie apart from every single one that came before it, and it creates a depth an empathy for us. We understand Batman and his motives, we know he wants to leave this job behind and is hoping that that day will come soon. It's very lonely being Batman. Not to get overly into the Dark Knight script analysis, but the other thing that sets this script apart from other blockbusters is that the character of Batman has to struggle with Bruce Wayne.
Sure, the Joker is the main bad guy in this story, but the real heart of The Dark Knight script is Batman and Bruce duking it out for their right to exist. This internal struggle is also echoed in the people of Gotham city.
We see their need and want for heroes, but in the last set piece, we see how quick they are to damn other people to save themselves. This juxtaposition not only centers Batman as the people's champ, but it creates a conundrum for Bruce Wayne.
If the people only know how to act heroically because they have a Batman, and the symbol Batman was going to use to replace himself is now evil, how can he ever retire?
The answer, of course, is that Batman must retire ignobly. Taking the heat for one man's actions. Bruce realizes that Gotham is in incredibly rough shape. On top of needing to become the Batman to set things right on the streets, he also has to make sure he can get control of his family company back.
Meanwhile, a powerful Wayne Industries weapon — a microwave emitter — is missing. He, along with Rachel and Gordon, realize that this toxin has been getting shipped with the drugs and is in the water supply. He and the League of Shadows are going to destroy Gotham City by steaming the water supply, thus activating the toxin, via the stolen microwave emitter.
Wayne Manor is destroyed, but it will be rebuilt. And Gordon is now a Lieutenant; he and Batman have a conversation about their probable futures before Batman flies off into the night. As you can see in the finished scene below, the way the actors perform their lines greatly affects the way it might otherwise be read.
The script is also full of vital callbacks, where what one character says earlier on is either echoed or gets called back later. Later in the film, those exact words were the reason how Rachel realized that Batman is Bruce Wayne. So, it's not just a repeated line of dialogue, it comprises the theme as well.
By this point, Bruce has taken what Rachel previously said to heart, having fully become Batman and doing all that he can to save Gotham City. Batman Begins script is big on themes, with fear being the most prominent. Early on, it's discussed by Ducard, who knows that in order for Bruce to become a true warrior, he must face his fear head on.
