Not true. As long as you reject false gods and embrace his noodliness, the Flying Spaghetti Monster will overlook the rest of your puny, misguided personal ambitions to be in charge of your own destiny.

Back in the first movie Bruce Wayne learns by experience during his world peregrination (before he encounters the League of Shadows) that people who either steal food or face starvation are not of the criminal class he wishes to fight. With her "what you have to do" lines the third Batman movie is putting Catwoman among the excusable and redeemable. She is an individual redemption analogous to the entire city of Gotham's course of redemption over the three movies. She is necessary as a character in order for Bruce Wayne's moral victory over Gotham to have a concrete result, i.e. a visible "show not tell" happy ending that Wayne can continue to have after leaving Gotham.
