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.
Everything was really about Dent first and foremost. The boats were a secondary thing (and like I said, him being able to get them on the boats and rig the boats was just more omnipotence lazy writing) which is why he still felt victorious in the end.
They don't need to blame Joker, they just need to say Dent was left brain damaged and was dying from his injuries and cover up the deaths.
The Joker explicitly said that Dent was his “ace in the hole”, meaning that it was what would seal his victory, but it wasn’t the plan that he put his sole efforts into. Also, how do you know how the Joker felt at the end? The last time we saw him was before Batman decided to take the fall for what Dent did.
How exactly would they go about covering up the deaths, especially when two of them were apparently cops?
