Theme and Thesis in reference to Batman Begins

BATMAN BEGINS lacks a clear evocation of theme and thesis.

Batman Begins tells the story of a person name Bruce Wayne who refuses to use the judicial system to stop criminals but instead learns martial arts and acquires weapons and armor to kick their asses.

Opening argument: "They’re never the same, Bruce.
Justice is about harmony... revenge
is about you making yourself feel
better." - Rachel

Ending belief: "True things. You made me see that
justice is about more than my own
pain and anger." - Bruce Wayne

Did she Bruce?  And how did you come to believe that because I don't recall a single action you took to try to prove the opposite.  Did you kill anyone and think, "Shit I don't feel better...I feel worse!"  NO.  Did you seek revenge and fail to find inner peace?  NO.

WELL here's a quagmire:  If this story is about Justice to create Harmony vs. Revenge to appease personal feelings.  Where in Bruce's story are there markers of Bruce's growth?

NEWS FLASH - There aren't any.

The main conflict rests between Bruce(batman) and Ducard(Ra's al ghul) but it's about trying to get rid of criminals vs. destroy the city and kill all the people in order to go back to primitive times.   Ducard believes the entire city is corrupt but this belief has nothing to do with Bruce's belief that revenge will appease his soul.

Wait....What's the problem?
Bruce never wanted to destroy the city.  So this conflict has nothing to do with the argument he has with Rachel throughout the movie.

There is no visual personal character change for Bruce Wayne.  He reaches his general goal of justice...of stopping criminals without emotional struggle.  There are no scenes where he "gives up", "questions what he's doing" etc.

Rachel's feelings that maybe Batman shouldn't be allowed to "work" with the cops...they never quite connect with her opening argument.

Why?  Because Batman is not acting against the justice system.  He's not killing anyone.  He's not seeking personal revenge.

WHERE ARE THE SCENES IN WHICH BATMAN SEEKS REVENGE AND REGRETS DOING SO?

Aigh aigh, captain.  They don't exist.

At least the story was entertaining.

For all you readers who want to argue that the theme of Batman Begins is Fear.

Blow it out your a- just kidding.

Sure Bruce is afraid of the bats, he's afraid of Chill who killed his parents....but then....show me scenes in which he has to overcome his fears, scenes where he says "Maybe I can't reach my goal because I'm afraid."  Scenes where he wears the batman costume but runs in fear of the criminals.

Bruce Wayne is not afraid.  Fear may be a Theme as in a MOTIF in this story but it's not the substance of Bruce Wayne's emotional journey.  He never argues that "Fear is something you should not embrace."  He simply embraces his fear, dresses up in a bat suit, and kicks ass.
