Matt Reeves' The Batman has evolved the character of Bruce Wayne like no other Batman film has. The film heavily focuses on the rage within Bruce that drives him to obsess over vengeance but creates an arc for Batman that vengeance isn't necessarily what's going to help the people of Gotham, the people around him, and most importantly for himself. Instead, he needs to be an inspiration of hope to Gotham if he is to help his city be what he hopes it can be.
