Batman chose to save Rachel and ended up saving Harvey instead. The Joker does switch the addresses on him. Though, if you want to make the argument, you could say that Batmana knew the Joker was lying and wanted to save Harvey Dent instead but I doubt it. Anyway, she knew who Batman was, she had to go.

He quite clearly shouted "Rachel" when he was stalking out. Joker lied. Even though he stated he doesn't have any plans, I believe he knew the death of Rachel would hit Dent far harder than it would hit Batman. Batman was already a hardened veteran of the criminal way of the world, whereas Dent was still very idealistic given his experience. Nothing like the death of a loved one to destroy your faith.

I believe that Batman was heading to where he had been told Rachel was. He told Gordon that he was going after Rachel and if you compare the address that the final fight with Two Face was, it is the same place that the Joker states is where Rachel is. Was. Uh, boom.

It's not made clear in the movie because we're supposed to think he was going after the girl, and they muddied that so much it seemed as though he'd been tricked into going after Dent. He wasn't. He made himself responsible for Dent because Dent could do the most good. Grezzks last blog post..<a href="http://random-average.com/archive/013202.html#13202" rel="nofollow">Pimped. Out.
