Actually, I've been researching this recently - there's a few academic papers on the war on terror symbolism in The Dark Knight. Batman says that spying is bad, knowingly risks his friendship with Fox over it, and it still doesn't bring him closure. Even after he's used it to find the Joker, he still has his emotional truama and pain. The machine might have saved lives, but it didn't really help in the long run. People realize that in The Dark Knight Rises, Bane was only pretending to be a socialist hero of the people right? It was all an act to stop the population from resisting his invasion - he always planned to oppress and destroy them, he just pretended to be a far left revolutionary to secure Gotham.

That's literally the core dilemma in every superhero story - do they use their powers to help humanity, regardless of the cost, or do they use them for selfish gain? It's pretty hardwritten into the genre.
