Confused politics
Movie starts out sympathetic to the working class only to end with a pro-police, pro-technology message.

shareIt was always sympathetic to the working class, the villains were thugs and terrorists who wanted to blow the city up.
What I'm confused about is what you're trying to say? Are you trying to say that the police are the enemy of the working class?
Batman is a story about a rich guy who puts on a mask and punches poor people.
I'm a big Batman fan, but when I read that (ages ago) I cracked up.
The Dark Knight was also a little strange and unusual in its ideological stance. Released towards the end of the Bush years, it seemed to support Patriot Act type surveillance with Batman hacking everybody's cell phones and being like, "Well...it's okay when *I* do it..."
That doesn't make it a lesser film. It is what it is.
The movie does end with the rich guy’s home becoming an orphanage. People rarely seem to bring that up when discussing the politics of this movie.
shareThe police throughout the trilogy were pointed out as corrupt and useless. It’s only at the end do they finally redeem themselves. I don’t see as pro cop since they made them earn it. We’re always gonna need police we just need to make them better
