The whole movie/his whole first 2 years he’s been concerned about hiding in the shadows and being a symbol of fear. Obviously when he’s fighting criminals, that’s a good thing, but when the people he’s saving say “please don’t hurt me,” he’s not having the intended effect. By the end, he realizes he has to become a symbol of hope for the good people in Gotham. And once the mayor’s son decides to trust him, everyone else starts to as well.
