It's always to read what we want to see in movies.

The message you saw in the movie just is not there. Batman and Catwoman wound up working together in the end for the common good. The same goes a number of others such as Gordon and "Robin".

As far as the bridge scene goes...I've heard it compared to what happened on the bridge when Katrina hit in NOLA and the cops shot at civilians.

I don't think the political message is as cut and dry as you believe.
