Certain aspects which have been portrayed in Batman Begins which have been changed in The Dark Knight
There are a few aspects in Batman Begins and The Dark Knight which Christopher Nolan has definitely changed. One of the smaller changes Christopher Nolan has made from Batman Begins to The Dark Knight would be the batman suit. The suit in Batman Begins looks a lot more like the suit used in the comic books whereas the suit used in The Dark Knight reflects a more real-world concept of the character batman.

The setting is very minimalistic setting allowing the viewer to focus on the action taking place; the interior location is very naturalistic. The colour scheme Christopher Nolan used in this scene is quite harsh; it mainly consists of greys, blacks and browns. The lighting used in this scene mainly comes from a lamp and fluorescent ceiling lights. The room is fully lit by the ceiling light when batman enters to show small details such as the facial expression on the jokers face. The use of nongeitic sound in this scene heightens the tension and shows a change in the overall mood. The use of camera angles in this scene is used to help perceive the relationship between the joker and batman. High angles are used to put Batman above The Joker and show that Batman is dominant and is physically more powerful than The Joker. I think an important point that Christopher Nolan wanted to get across to the audience was that although Batman is physically stronger than The Joker, The Joker is mentally stronger than Batman as Batman loses his cool with The Joker. The dominance at the end of scene is shifted from Batman to The Joker as The Joker has tied up both Rachel and Harvey and gives Batman the choice on who to save.
