I've seen the movie on and off about 3 times. You haven't explained it.
Bane wants to build up a hopeful revolution then crush it, thats what he says yes. Why? What is the message he is imparting to the outside world as the watch the revolution happen, (a revolution is presumably what the league want to go worldwide, given their anti capitalist rhetoric) then see it all blow up anyway?
The only real plausible reason is to gently caress with people, so he's just evil and craaazy. But thats more a joker scheme then, its kind of at odds with a character who's aesthetic suggests brutal efficency.
I mean the poster above says that obviously he believes he is genuinely making things better for the people? But Banes words are that he's torturing and terrorizing them? Does Bane see socialist-anarchy as false "hope" or does he see it as "people clamoring over each other"?
Does it even work? Dunno because we don't see any events from the perspective of the gotham citizens so god knows how they feel about it.
Its all for Bruce, not the outside world. Why do you think he put Bruce paralyzed in a prison with a TV in front of him? He's not playing it for the world, he's playing it for Bruce. Its just a revenge plot. The bonus is the destruction of Gotham per R'as' initial goal, but a corrupted version. R'as wanted Gotham destroyed so that order would return. R'as's wish was actually already fulfilled by the Joker vis-a-vis the Dent act.

So he can change at will now (clothing rips)? Could he always do that?

What themes do they share?
As for the plots of each film...
-'Them!' is about giant ants created by atomic blasts that start attacking people.
-'Aliens' is about a team of marines that investigate a colony wiped out by aliens (that the colonists didn't necessarily create).
-'Battle: Los Angeles' is about an alien invasion of Earth in which the aliens are after our resources.
Based on plot, none of those movies could be considered a re-remake of any of the others unless you completely change what that term means. Now they may share themes, but even in that I don't think the major themes of each of those films would really match up either.
Them! and Aliens' plots are so similar as to warrant remake talk. Even the reason the humans end up "creating" the "giant ants" in Aliens has to do with them building a giant fusion reactor. Then martial law is declared and the army has to go in and kill the queen with guns and fire. Oh wait, that last sentence part was Them! Or Aliens. Wait..
However, SMG, I'm not seeing Battle: Los Angeles, though I know you think highly of that film (I thought the aliens' designs were uninspired, though that doesn't go to the merits of the story).

Guys, what if Lex Luthor creates a social networking website that becomes Braniac?
Using salvaged Kryptonian tech...

It's cheesy as hell and very, very 90s but it still has those nuggets that let you see what made it so popular.
Ahhhh, a fellow chucker, huh?!
