What exactly do you mean by humility? Right now what I can say is, for a guy who's saved the entire universe and outsmarted galactic Gods, Batman does a pretty good job of keeping his head. I wouldn't describe him as "humble" - nor is he ever "arrogant." He knows his exact limits and capabilities, without being too boastful.
I don't think I can describe him one way or another. The guy can be really prideful at times and really humble at times. Sort of like a real person, it's difficult to just lop him into one category. If you want an exact example of humility, in the New 52, Bruce apologized to Alfred when he saw the latter use a virtual simulation program to prevent Damian from leaving the Batman. Sincere apologies are a sure sign of humility.
He's been shown to be stubborn at times. To the extent where he comes off as a jerk sometimes. Overexerting himself, not asking for help when he should, and keeping information to himself when he should share it.
He's definitely arrogant, but only when its appropriate and 100% accurate, because he doesn't bull$#@+ anyone. Just look at most of his dialogues, especially post conflict. I believe he has the capability to be humble, but chooses not to be; not because he's a jerk, but because it's an emotional quality that doesn't necessarily further Batman's image as much as confidence does.
