yeah those 'hints' were really great, because just like the joker, there's mystery there, its not all spelled out like a lot of other films and prequels nowadays. you get to imagine and think and it gives richness to the character. but yeah, TOO subtle maybe...i remember when if first watched it i was unnerved by his interrogation in the alleyway...like whoa...we see that he's not ALL there, but there could have been a bit more.
I watching the movie again yesterday and it's true it is subtle, but mostly any scene where Harvey loses his cool and his true temper shows and his anger does escalate gradually in difficult situations...at the trial when the witness wasn't cooperating, when Lau skipped town and he was blaming Gordon, at Loeb's funeral when he thought Gordon was killed and he questioned Schiff only to find Rachel would be the next target, the interrogation and execution bluff in the alleyway, calling out Batman as a coward in that same alleyway and then of course Rachel's loss was the straw that broke the camel's back. Sadly, the guy was too goodhearted and incapable of dealing with his personal and for the most part repressed darkness to have survived the corruption in Gotham that was getting to him.
