>bat swarm doesn't do a significant amount of DPS for Banes HP count, it would of wasted Bamhams action points.
Batman begins focuses most on graphic novels, one shots and limited series' from 1980's and early 1990's. The cited influences on Batman Begins are Year One, The Man Who Falls, The Dark Knight Returns, Jeph Loeb & Tim Sale's Batman stories (Haunted Knight, The Long Halloween, Dark Victory), and the 1970s Dennis O'Neil with Ra's Al Ghul.
In Batman: Year One, Batman uses a sonic device from his boot to call the bats for distraction.
'The Dark Knight Rises' draws heavily and primarily from vengeance of Bane, Knightfall and Legacy saga. Naturally, it also reflects and borrows from various issues of the Modern Age era.
In the movie, Bruce is not in the top form when he faces Bane for the first time. He is older, has been out of shape and action for 8 years, and has problems with his knee.
In the comics when Batman first fought Bane, he was also very out of shape, having been completely exhausted and under influence of a sickness called Epstein-Barr Syndrome.

I rewatched Batman Begins like a week ago, for the first time since its release. The bat summoning part was the only thing that I thought was interesting, wish it was used like once more.

Better question: why didn't he turn into one and fly away as soon as he knew he was in trouble?

if he could turn into a bat he could just bite bane's head off
