    When young Bruce took upon himself to fight crime a bat flew past his window (or in some versions of his origin, through it) and being criminals are a "cowardly and superstitious lot" he took the guise of a bat to strike fear in their hearts.

    a bat was present at every major point in his life: the first time he felt true fear, it was caused by a bat in a cave; on his travels (when he was training to protect Gotham), he came across a tribe that worshipped bats; when he returned, a bat crashed through his study window (NOTE: Bruce Wayne considers/considered that study to be his father's). You could also point out that Shiva gave him the mask of a bat god (Tengu) after Bane broke his back, but this was because she was aware of who he was (or had been, from Bruce and Shiva's standpoint). This was not a coincidence,--she knew he was the Batman, and gave him that mask because he wasn't "worthy" of the Batsuit.

    He was afraid of bats. He overcame that fear and decide to use that as like a symbol of his conquered fear. Like a statement that he has become that fear. He does scare people first to intimidate them. Ifnyou saw a guy with horns in a dark alley at night you'd be pretty scared.
