Seriously? you're trying to ascribe logic and reason to suicidal demagogues?
Absolutely. Logic can be applied to all of the villains in this trilogy except in TDKR.
Those people see what they want to see.
So did the Joker and Ra's, but you could understand from their perspective why they had the beliefs they had.
Ra's saw a city full of crime and corruption. He believed the only way to save it was to kill it. A crazy solution but one you could understand from the perspective of a man like him. It's not hard to see why someone like that feels something is so rotten it can't be saved, and execution is the only cure.
The Joker believed everyone was as bad as he was deep down, and he set out to prove it. Another crazy motive, but one you could understand. He did manage to break Harvey Dent. Hence why Batman took the fall for Dent's crimes, because "The Joker cannot win". Batman and Gordon feared Gotham would lose hope because of what happened to Dent.
Destroying a city that had low crime statistics and was prospering in a peace time makes no sense. Not even from a crazy criminal's perspective.

He rips Bane's plan to pieces.
Talia was easily able to infiltrate Wayne Enterprise using fraud.
My local newspaper shop was robbed last week. Does that mean my town should be bombed?
Bruce Wayne handed her control because the LOS stole his fingerprints and cleaned him out on the stock market. Any major criminal actions in the city are direct result of the LOS themselves.
The police got so complacent Bane was able to set up fortress in sewers to an unprepared police force.
Two things:
1. It was not a fortress lol. He was camped out directly beneath Wayne Enterprises. You speak as though he turned the entire sewer system into a fortress.
2. The Police were following the orders of their superiors. Namely Gordon, who made one of the stupidest decisions I've ever seen by sending all of his Cops in the city under ground to find Bane. Where was the intelligent Gordon from TDK who called in the National Guard when the Joker situation got critical?
Gordon himself was engaged in corruption to get the Dent Act passed.
A fact Bane learned by accident, and did not learn until he had set his plan in motion.
Maybe, but if I wanted to break someone's soul, I would use anything I would have got in my power to do that. Bringing down Bruce to the breaking point was essential.
Again Bane was already content with doing that WITHOUT even knowing about Harvey Dent's cover up. It was something his plan never relied on because he didn't even know about it until he stumbled on it by accident.
We know that the only hope Gotham had was that it would survive.
Right. So releasing armed criminals served nothing except make a bad situation worse.
Bane was initiating a new order, one that relied on liberating the prisoners, bringing down the rich and powerful. It was supposed to be like that.
No, it wasn't, because releasing the prisoners was just done by excuse of learning the truth about Dent. As you well know the truth about Dent was learned by accident after the plan was set in motion. So his plan never ever rested on the inmates of Blackgate.
As a parallel to the Pit, Gotham was languishing with the glimmer of hope that things would be better, just like a prisoner, like Bruce was.
That was already done when the city was living under a bomb threat. Citizens trapped in Gotham living in fear of being blown up. What are armed inmates going to do that is worse than a nuclear bomb?
Their release served nothing except making things worse.
What Bane achieved had less to do with the people of Gotham, and more to Bruce's reaction to it.
Not according to Bane who claimed his whole revolution was to feed them hope to poison their souls.
