He overcame adversity, and using courage and everlasting hope for a brighter tomorrow, he triumphs. The reason Batman is so special is because he gives the message that everyone has the capacity to change and make a difference. They really emphasized that in this movie by making Batman more human.

This aspect of his character accompanied by the awesome acting of Christian Bale made for the greatest hero to ever hit the big screen.
