If you guys know your batman, you know JGL (RJB) goes on to become batman.
"lol but it's not the comic, it's Nolan's interpretation"
Exactly, Nolan knows his batman. All the important themes and aspects of the batman mythos as been included in the movie. Batman always existing, even without Bruce, is a big part of the batman mythos.
Also why cringe when you find out his name is Robin? Nolan's interpretation of Robin the Boy Wonder was a cop/detective named Robin John Blake who acted as Batman's sidekick-ish. Much better than a kid in tights.
So instead of getting Robin, the kid sidekick to Batman who wears a costume... we got Robin, the cop-turned-detective who works closely with Batman almost to a sidekick status.
Bruce even makes a big point about Batman could be anyone twice when he talks to JGL throughout TDKR.
And the whole point of the trilogy was the symbolism of Batman, so that, unlike a man, Batman cannot be killed and could be anyone. Like JGL becoming Batman... because Batman didn't die as a result of being a symbol and can be anyone.
EDIT: so no, I don't think we'll see a Nightwing spinoff, because it doesn't make sense in the world Nolan created. From how the film ended, and how Nolan talks about it... I think it is the last of the Nolan film world he created. Of course, the story doesn't end, but it won't be filmed. And I really doubt the general public will want to see a Batman movie where Batman isn't Bruce.
ANOTHER EDIT: didn't whoever from DC and WB say that they want to make another Batman francise, one that would fit into the world of the new Man of Steel and future Justice League? This kinda blows, cuz Nolan's batman was the tits... but WB might not want to risk having a batman that isn't Bruce. Or, maybe there are two Batmen, one that takes the JL duties while JGL's batman works in gotham (we already had this in comics, only Bruce did Batman INC stuff while Dick was Batman in gotham at the same time).
