Well that's the problem,Ra's wanted to destroy Gotham because he thought that the city was beyond saving,it was an incredibly corrupt city where the mob ruled,the police was almost entirely corrupted,DA's and judges were killed regularly.Thanks to the Dent act,in TDKR the city was reborn,there was no organized crime to quote Blake ''we're going to chase people who don't return their books in the library''.That's the reason the major wants Gordon to retire.There's no need for him when it's a time of peace for the city.The only counter argument could be that the peace was successful only because of a lie but neither Bane nor Talia knew that,they found that way into their plan when Gordon conveniently had his speech with him.Originally Posted by Voyeur
I really dislike the script because out of every possible reason,motive,ideology,Nolan choose cardboard villain suicide revenge plot that made no sense.Had Bane actually cared for a revolution and the people of Gotham then the film would have been a lot stronger for it.When i read that the Nolan's were inspired by The Tale of Two Cities,i was very excited because the book turns the tables on morality.The oppressed become the oppressors.The film used the book only as a visual homage(the courtroom scenes,etc) but had nothing from the complexity and ambivalence of it.Bane was basically a psycho who did everything for his not-to-be-lover.Talia was a deluded environmentalist who was destroying her father's ideology every step of the way.She basically wanted to kill x-million of people because one person killed her father,the same father that she abandoned and didn't spoke to until he was dead.The same father that expelled her guardian from the league of shadows.
