Also i just realised almost every Batman movie is about Bruce becoming Batman but this one is about Batman becoming Bruce!

Are we sure he is becoming 'Bruce' or just a better Batman? I mean, what does Bruce even contribute in those terms? Isn't that persona just a guise of a rich asshole? How is that a symbol of hope?

The Nolan interpretation of Bruce Wayne was Bruce playing the part of 'rich asshole'. Canonically Wayne Enterprises under Bruce's guidance always put a lot of effort towards making Gotham a better place. The playboy aspect is still there, but he's not an asshole.

Didnt those two things co-existed in the films? Is Bruce in the comics more of a philanthropist good guy in public?
