Yeah but I think it's because it was supposed to be a symbolism about "rising from the bottom" but literal because you see, they live in a literal hole.
But in the comics, the bad guys is this gang of teens known as the "Mutants" (no relation) who are pretty obviously coded as an inner city punk gang filled with sadistic, illiterate kids who the comics repeatedly underlines cannot be rehabilitated. The comic would have these little tidbits of in-universe tv debate between Lana Lang (yes the same one) whos stance boils down EXTERMINATE THE BRUTES versus this strawman progressive bleeding heart who's a big poopy head because thinks that extrajudicial murder is bad. Of course in the context of the comic he's wrong because he lives in a murderous fictional hellworld, but the rehabilitationist are written in a realistic way, as in they advocates actual points about criminal rehabilitation, that the comic's negative depiction of them feels strongly like a propaganda hit piece.
Yeah third one is entirely anti-Occupy propaganda.
Dark Knight Rises Spoilers
Bane makes no sense - he wants to take down the stock market, free all the prisoners, and lock up all the cops underground only to... blow the entire city up?
It's been a while since I've seen the movie, but I don't see why he even needed a ploy and couldn't have just blown up the city as soon as he had the bomb.
As in, I get that it's anti-communist propaganda, but I'm trying to figure out how that even works with the plot, unless Nolan has really just fallen that far that he can't even make it make sense.
Batman The Dark Knight Returns (the comic) is one of the most disgusting fascist copaganda I've ever seen.

At least it didn't paints criminals as absolute subhumans that must be exterminated, and reformers advocating for rehabilitation as dumb degenerates.
Didn't the criminal bad guy in the final film literally live as a subterranean human?

Taking down the stock market, freeing the prisoners, and trying the CEOs was just a ploy covering up his real goal of blowing up the city.
Because no one will ever actually advocate for those things as anything but a smokescreen, you see. Anticommunist propaganda 101
