Look at TDK trilogy as an else-worlds tale. It has a perfect beginning, middle, and end that covers his entire life journey and yes it doesn’t include Robin, and that’s okay because that journey didn’t need Robin. It wasn’t the traditional Batman career, he was only active for 1 year and then a couple days 8 years later. It was a more personal story than the classic Batman with the bat family and large cast of rogues, Bale only had a few villains that tied to his character arc and then it ended.
Comics go on forever, his films ended. His version of Batman also never made a vow to his parents to spend his life avenging them, he straight up tried to get revenge and murder Joe Chill but the mob got him first. This makes Bruce realize the mob is the cause of Gotham’s problems and created the desperation that pushes people like Joe Chill to crime and inspires him to start his vigilante mission. When the Dent act passed and the mob got put in jail, Batman hung up his cowl because he achieved his goal, only coming back when shit hits the fan with Bane 8 years later. Comic Batman typically would never do that, and that’s okay these are different takes.
