The Dark Knight Rises (2012 movie): At the end, why does Batman give Gordon such a cryptic clue, rather than just revealing his face?

He either wants Gordon to know, or he doesn’t. Why does he take the path where Gordon may or may not work it out?

You just killed all the emotion when you considered it a cryptic clue. This scene had such beautiful emotions.

A hero can be as simple as a man putting his coat around a little boy’s shoulders and reassuring him the world hadn’t ended yet.

See the beauty in this quote. He’s not just giving him a clue but implying that Gordon has been a hero for him all these years.
