Nolan makes the suit look more army like, which…
The horror and hallucination factor of the first film is greatly decreased in the second. In Batman Begins Scarecrow uses a toxin on his victims that makes them hallucinate and see horrifying things such as a horse breathing fire and monstrous versions of characters’ faces.

In the opening scene of Batman Begins it shows hundreds of bats flying in the sky. This is to set an ominous tone for the audience and to show a sense of danger. This is also done by the high pitched sound of the bats giving a panicked and fearful tone.
