Factual error: After escaping the hospital, Harvey Dent wears the same charred suit he was wearing when he was brought to the hospital. That suit would not have been neatly taken off and left intact. It would have been cut off with shears so as not to accidentally remove any damaged skin and flesh when pulling the pants and shirt off. The blazer might still be intact but certainly not the pants and shirt.
The Dark Knight (2008)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Christopher Nolan
Starring: Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman, Gary Oldman, Christian Bale, Aaron Eckhart, Cillian Murphy, Eric Roberts, Heath Ledger, Maggie Gyllenhaal
Batman (Christian Bale) prevents The Joker (Heath Ledger) from blowing up the two boats (one full of civilians and the other full of convicts) after each group refuses to blow up the other one. The police capture Joker. Harvey Dent/Two Face (Aaron Eckhart) holds Commissioner Gordon's (Gary Oldman) family hostage at the building where Rachel (Maggie Gyllenhaal) died and now driven by rage and madness, he's convinced that people's lives are determined by chance (the opposite of his motto: "I make my own luck"). Gordon apologizes for not being able to help Rachel on time and Batman shows up. Batman says that Joker's destruction and chaos was done in order to push Gotham's finest crime fighters (Batman, Gordon and Harvey) over the edge to see if they would lose their minds. Harvey flips his coin and shoots Batman, flips the coin for himself and the coin lands on the good side. He flips the coin to determine the fate of Gordon's son and Batman lunges quickly and snatches Gordon's son. Harvey falls over the edge of the building and dies. Batman decides to take the blame for Harvey's death and allows the police to persecute him. If everyone learns that Harvey killed those who he held responsible for Rachel's death (Maroni, the corrupt cops, etc.) then his reputation as Gotham's White Knight will be shattered and he won't be a hero anymore. Alfred (Michael Caine) burns Rachel's letter to Bruce. Lucius Fox (Morgan Freeman) follows Batman's orders and types his name into the sonar machine after he is finished. This then destroys the machine, Lucious smiles and decides not to resign from Wayne Enterprises. Gordon smashes the bat signal. His son asks him why the police persecute Batman and Gordon replies because he can take it. Because he is a watchful protector, a silent guardian, a Dark Knight.

Trivia: When Gordon is promoted to Commissioner, Heath Ledger improvised the Joker joining in with the applause.
Question: In the scene where Batman shows Lucius his giant sonar thing, why is he talking in his big scary voice? Lucius knows who he is, so why does he bother disguising his voice?
Answer: At the bottom of his cowl Batman has devices designed to keep his voice at that level. The director revealed it, of you look at the right screenshots you can see speakers.

Answer: It's habit, and a sensible one at that. When he's in the mask, when he's being Batman, he uses the voice, even if the person he's with knows who he is. If he drops back to his normal voice with some people, it sets the precedent for using it while wearing the cowl, which means that he's more likely to slip up and use it around people who don't know, potentially revealing his true identity. If he sticks rigidly to using the voice when kitted up as Batman, regardless of situation, it minimises that possibility.
