^ Neither. We aren't mean to know that. Robin's name in the comics isn't Robin. I think that was just a fun thing for the fans since Blake sort of did play Robin's role in the movie. Bruce talked about this in the car with Blake. He said that Batman could be anyone, the point of him is to be a symbol of hope for the people of Gotham and do what the police can't.
Bruce retired since he's no longer fit to protect the city and left it in capable hands when he gave the coordinates to the batcave for Blake to use. Blake is just that next guy that will protect the city. That doesn't necessarily mean he'll be Batman specifically. He could end up as Nightwing for all we know.
And we dont even know if he'll actually be in another movie. It was just ended in that way to prove a point that the city will survive without Bruce. Who he becomes doesn't really matter. We may never find out and that's fine.
Warner may end up completely rebooting this with no connection to him or these movies, and the end of Rises will still make sense if that's what they did.
