Why does Bane return with the league of shadows to destroy Gotham? If I remember correctly, Ras Al Ghul states in Batman Begins that the league only destroys when things get out of hand, and in TDKR Gotham seems peaceful. There is no organised crime and no corruption like 9 years ago, so why would the league return to destroy a once corrupt city that has been fixed?

I dunno. Didn't see the movie.

Per Audacia Ad Astra

The Bat killed Ra's, and Talia wanted revenge.

"I won't kill you, but I don't have to save you."

Batman didn't really kill him, but I guess word got out that he did.

Economic injustice, maybe? Rich vs. poor was a pretty major theme of the film.

It was more that Al Ghul's daughter was on a quest for vengeance.

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

It was then about revenge and fulfilling Ra's al Ghul's original dream.

Congrats OP, you found the greatest problem with the plot in that movie.

The badguys are there for literally no reason. They are as bad as cartoon villains who just want to destroy -blam!- for the fun of it.

Dark Knight Rises is awful

Racism isn't wrong if it's funny.

Ralph shares your frustration, OP.

Did Bane not mention that Gotham was an icon of greed?

Online Gaming's pretty much like a zombie movie. There are a lot of mindless idiots roaming around but you find some survivors on the way.

It was essentially just a vengeance excuse for Talia.
