Of all the things that BB was criticized for back in the day, the bat-voice was not one of them. Again, that didn’t become a prominent complaint until TDK.

Getting the people in those ferries to blow each other up was a pretty important part of his plan. His goal was to prove that people are inherently selfish and murderous. The fact that the people on the boats refused to go through with it was a pretty big problem for his plan. Dent was his backup plan but not his only plan.

It was still a critique that started before TDK though. No matter how minor, it's the reason why Nolanites are okay critiquing that but nothing exclusive to TDK.

His plan was always to corrupt or ruin Batman and Dent was always the biggest part of that. The yachts were the secondary thing. Of course, him being able to rig the boats to blow was part of his omnipotence too. And if Gordon and Batman had any brains they wouldn't have needed to have Batman take the fall for Dent and just cover up Dents' actions another way, but the plot needed them to be idiots and Joker omnipotent.

If it did, it wasn’t in any notable capacity. The Batman voice in BB wasn’t even that pronounced. The only time he actually “growled” was when he interrogated Flass. Speaking of interrogation: link.

The boats weren’t secondary. They were a major part of his plan. They may not have been the only part of his plan, but he was still pretty frustrated and surprised when it didn’t work out. As for Batman taking the fall for Dent, that was the most viable way of covering up what Dent did. Contrary to what some might think, blaming the Joker would’ve raised a ton of questions.
