The entire movie is very much running with "Rich kid with issues beats on poor people" and constantly has characters and the plot force him to evolve past that, or at least, try to in a way that doesn't feel forced.

    IIRC theres a map of the city hidden beneath the Riddlers carpet that details where bombs have been placed to flood the city, and he doesn't solve it because the hint is the carpet tucker that he assumes was just another weapon or something.

    He only solves it when he accidentally tricks the Riddler into believing he did solve it already by showing up at his jail cell, which would be safe from the flood. So the Riddler starts rambling about the final plan and Batman has no fucking idea what he is going on about.
