"Broken Dreams, Inc" was written about opportunity inequalities amongst Americans, and putting power back into the hands of the citizens instead of corporations.

Rise Against frontman, Tim Mcllrath, detailed the song's meaning more in a press statement:"'Broken Dreams, Inc.' speaks to today's changing landscape of American society, the opportunities that are available to some but not to others, the people who are able to benefit versus those who get left behind, who suffer and end up as casualties.

- Tim Mcllrath[1][2]Both Mcllrath and lead guitarist Zach Blair grew up being big fans of DC Comics, with Batman being one of their personal favorites, so the band were incredibly excited to be able to collaborate on the Dark Nights: Death Metal series.
