Bruce's mother reading him Alice in Wonderland as his last warm memory of them alone together. (I'm a massive Lewis Carroll fan, ever since I was little, and I personally connected with that sub-plot enormously.)
Dick and Bruce on the other sides of the mirror, with Alfred telling Dick, as he wished he told Bruce, that he "is not alone".

The Huntress' final struggle to protect the shelter from The Joker at the end.
