Well, I wouldn't say he actually stopped his last scheme, because in the end both boats didn't want to blow up the other, proving that unlike the Joker, people do have a conscious and won't "eat each other". But, in the end, to an extent, the Joker won in that he basically turned Batman into a villain in the public's eye by having him take the blame for Harvey's crimes.

He punched out a guy in court, almost shot a witness and was about to put Gotham City under martial law even before the Joker showed up. That's really dickish to me, he was just another power mad quasi despot.
Almost shooting a witness was due to the stress he was being put under by Joker, and IIRC it involved Rachel I believe.
As for martial law...Have you seen Gotham City? The place is a shithole.

Guy was going to kill him.
He was cracking due to extreme circumstances, he's only human.
He didn't, talking about something as an option and doing it is very different.
edit: Or basically what the bisexual above said.

Point, but the guy only pulled a gun so he could get Maroni is a mistrial. It wouldn't make sense to kill him in court.
Doesn't matter, he was still going to kill him.
Just proves my philosophy more that government is the problem. The mob wouldn't have had any authority had their been no city government to support them.

2. Oh right, because we all know that real good, decent people are perfect and could never crack even a little with his lover's life in danger and with his city being terrorized by a madman, oh no. But here is the thing genius...DENT NEVER WAS GOING TO KILL HIM! 😱 He was leaving it up to his coin to decide...A double-headed coin, only if it landed on Tails would he kill him, which was impossible.
3. Gotham's entire infrastructure was corrupt, that does not discredit Dent AT ALL, in fact, he was trying to fight what Gotham had become and fix it, if anything it speaks well for him.

2. "Tails" was whatever Dent wanted it to be, otherwise why put it in the film? One of the main facets of the movie is escalation, and Dent proved himself no better than a thug.
3. Gothams infrastructure was corrupt because the mafia was supported by the government. If there was no coercive government, there would be no corruption that couldn't be dealt with by the regular people easier.
