I love that movie. Gtfo.
It had such potential.
Batman Begins was good.
The Dark Knight was amazing.
Dark Knight Rises was a great concept wrapped in pandering bullshit. Fuck Catwoman. She had no reason to be there other than as sex appeal, and they tried to force an audience connection to her by saying she's morally conflicted and trying to be a good person because Anne Hathaway. She didn't contribute anything to the story, Anne Hathaway is a horrendous actress, and she helped further ruin one of the best characters in the DC Universe.
It should have been like this:
Bane stays mostly the same. He can figure out Bruce Wayne's identity through Ra's Al Ghul. He doesn't need anyone to betray Batman. Develop the "we're both working towards the same goal, but with different approaches to it" angle, if you can.
Catwoman is eliminated from the movie almost entirely. Fuck Anne Hathaway.
Don't reveal that Bruce is definitely alive at the end. Don't reveal that Joseph Gordon-Levitt's middle name is Robin. Just have Joseph Gordon-Levitt's character resign from the Police force and have a scene of him going back into the Bat Cave, implying that he's going to be the new Dark Knight for Gotham. This keeps the theme of making ideas immortal, even if men are not. Bruce should create a legacy through his martyrdom, not say they're going to continue with him as the Batman.
Maybe keep part of the scene with Alfred at the cafe in France, but don't have clarity that Bruce is actually there. Just imply that he might be. It'd be like the spinning top scene in
Inception.

But you're mostly right. I said that the Joker was the "reaction" to Batman. The Yin to his Yang, as it were.
Bane is what Batman could have been. The Joker is what Batman could never be.
Joker is awesome. He's my favorite character. But he's a force of nature by himself, not an image of Batman seen through a different lens like Bane is.
Joker is a super villain. He's not a matched villain, if that makes sense.
