Who the masses call villains are only individuals or groups who inadvertently (for some intentionally) expose the limitations of reality as we have been taught to perceive it. The Joker in The Dark Knight wanted to confront the fact that underneath the perceived notion of order in the external world lies the true of reality of life, that chaos is king. Bane in The Dark Knight Rises brought to light the lies of Gotham’s so-called stance against crime with Harvey Dent’s devolution into Two-Face. Even a simple heist movie set around a group of terrorists looking to steal millions of dollars from an unsuspecting entity reveals a disproportionate economic system meant to benefit the few and impoverish the majority of humanity.
