A few I forgot:
The role of the pearl necklace in the murder of the Waynes is also from The Dark Knight Returns.
The destruction of Wayne Manor, in a different context, is also in The Dark Knight Returns.
While The Dark Knight Returns introduced the idea of Bruce falling into the cave when he was young, The Man Who Falls added the visual of him falling through the wooden planks that covered up the hole.
The story that Ducard/Ra’s tells about his wife is a reference to Birth of the Demon in which Ra’s’s wife was killed before he became Ra’s Al Ghul.
Bruce disguising himself in tattered clothes to spy on the Gotham streets is a reference to War On Crime.
Bale's animalistic portrayal of Batman had to have been somewhat inspired by Year One's reference to Batman giving a "growl" that he brought from Africa.
The Arkham Asylum breakout is similar to the one in Knightfall.
The riots in the Narrows are possibly inspired by The Dark Knight Returns, particularly when the black man criticizes Flass with assault and Flass points a gun at him. Reminds me a bit of when Gordon had to pull out a gun to establish some order.
Outside of the comic books (not worth another thread):
Bruce Wayne being in a prison is from the script of the pilot of the television show Bruce Wayne.
William Earle, a villain who wants to take over Wayne Enterprises, is much like Charles Palantine, a villain with the same aspiration from the script of the television show Bruce Wayne. The pilot script also ends with Bruce Wayne's birthday party, to which Palantine is a notable guest.
The idea of a meeting between a young Bruce Wayne and Officer James Gordon was originally written by Steve Englehart in a treatment for the first Batman film (unconfirmed. We will see in Tim's interview with the man if he was, indeed, the first to come up with this idea).
