It's implied that he becomes some sort of hero to fight injustice... which IMO is the only important takeaway. Nolan doesn't seem to care whether the audience thinks that hero will be Robin, a new Batman, etc.
Well the title is Dark Knight Rises and the end has a platform rising and it is presumed the Batcave. In the end, it is up to the viewer what they want to translate from that but I think it is a given he would be the next Batman. To me, he can't be Robin because he pretty much played Robin in the whole film, just w/o the mask and suit. He can't be Nightwing because that is Grayson. He can't be Superman because he isn't from Krypton. He admired Batman and Batman has been telling him about being Bats throughout the film (anyone can be Batman and wearing a mask to protect those closest to you, etc....). So my translation is that he is the next Batman and there really isn't much pointing towards anything else. Again, it is open to interpretation.
