Plus, face it - most people know the characters from the movies, not the comics. If you were to ask 100 random people on the street the main identifying characteristic of Batman - or even if you were to limit it to a personality trait - I don't think any of them would say 'doesn't use guns'.
Yeah, it's there, but the comics are longer form storytelling so not everything can be covered in a two-hour movie. Nature of the beast.

Well yes this is true, I only wish Nolan had established this in the first 3 Batman movies.
