Actually, if there's any conspiracy with the new Batman movie (and even the second movie) it's a conservative one.
It's implied in the movie that Bane is if not a communist, at least on the Left side of politics. And without spoiling the movie, there are many indications in the movie that left-wing idealism leads to chaos and societal ruin. Note that one of Bane's first targets is the Gotham City Stock Exchange (which looks so much like the NYSE - the home of capitalism - that it's clear Nolan wanted to evoke that link in the mind of the viewer). The Catwoman character and her arc also reinforces similar themes.
But then again, Rush Limbaugh probably thinks that feeding your children is a liberal conspiracy.
