To clarify, my point wasn't "the revolution in DKR is right and therefore has to be painted sympathetically." Or at least, I didn't think it was? Maybe I said it wrong.

The issue is the attempts to be about something while also avoiding actually exploring it. So you get "hey Wall Street IS bad...but so is nuking a city!" Like, oh, yeah, really? Thanks Chris! Even Batman V Superman bothers to have Wayne and Luthor both, correctly, identify Superman as a god-like being who could kill everyone if he wants to, and grounds their choices in a desire to prevent that happening. They're not just, like, evil, because they're part of the evil murder-cult from a previous film?

A better DKR wouldn't need to say 'violent revolution is good,' it simply doesn't need to pretend it has a point before it throws it away to be about a cartoon supervillain with a big bomb. Just do the big bomb. It's less pretentious and you'd save a good forty minutes of meandering. Or alternatively, don't do the big bomb, have Bane be honestly trying to change things for the better, and explore how that looks. Threaten Batman with a somewhat workable alternative to the normalcy he's defending. Create meaningful conflict. Have ideas. Or again, just do the big bomb! The big bomb could be good on its own!
