I think that switch is pretty obvious, but do you think he switched the ferry detonators, too? So instead of blowing up the other boat, it really blows up the boat that the detonator is on. I'm having trouble figuring that one out.
BTW - is it really necessary to continue with the spoiler tags?

i stand by my previous statement that no, he has no possible motivation to switch detonators. It would be very un-joker-like.
Here's the two possible scenarios:
Spoiler:
Scenario 1: Detonators switched, somebody hits it. You are left with one relieved boat of innocent people and one boat of dead attempted murderers.
Scenario 2: Detonators are not switched, somebody hits it. You are left with a blown up boat of 'innocent' people (innocent being, decided to not hit the switch) and a boat of one murderer and 400 accomplices who have to live with their decision to kill 400 people. Which is more Jokerly? Which introduces more anarchy and chaos into society?
I still don't even see why people think it would be a 'twist' to have them switched...the Joker does not seek justice or to punish wrongdoing, and it would totally spoil the joke.
