nolan's fear of the occupy movement

This one scene in The Dark Knight Rises tells you everything you need to know about Nolan's view of the left:

*Catwoman and her friend are watching people loot a house*

Catwoman: "This was someone's house!"

Catwoman's straw-socialist friend: "Now it's everyone's house!"

Catwoman (who is a literal thief) turns to her friend with a horrified expression, terrified of the property rights being infringed.

contrast it to what she said earlier in the film:

"You think all this can last? There's a storm coming Mr Wayne. You and your friends better batten down the hatches 'cause when it hits, you're all gonna wonder how you ever thought you could live so large and leave so little for the rest of us."

she represents the radical growing up into the moderate

It's insane how right wing the Dark Knight movies are.

maybe she or her media people that to stay relevant and keep selling books she has to actually catch up to where her party is

they will of course say though that the republican party was good and principled ynder reagan or as recently as 2008

Monarchism is bad, as is any political system where you can seize power by throwing someone off a waterfall

Within that system, though, T'Challa is still the rightful king because teeeeechnically he didn't die, he points this out in the movie too

That said though I thought Killmonger represented the military-industrial complex more than anything else, hence him ordering the magic flowers to be burned for no particular reason

killmonger is that pride parade float with a stealth bomber prop on it

I think having to straddle being both a cool afro-futurist fantasy and also a children's marvel cartoon superhero film contorted it in some unfortunate ways narratively, including the struggle for supreme executive power having to be a literal superhero muscleman punchfight.

Killmonger is the “bad guy” because he’s using overtly colonial tactics to destabilize a foreign power so it can then be conquered. It’s a direct slap in the face of 100+ years of US policy and frankly it’s kind of amazing that he exists in a stupid superhero movie for children.
