Doubt it. They could shoot them through the eyes before Harley and Joker even knew they were there. In mid-ranged combat they would have superior weaponry, armor, and marksmanship.
In Short Range they would still have the weapons and armor advantage. People underestimate the military, but realistically the tech used in comics by the military is usually extremely outdated compared to modern day tech. We have guns that can shoot around corners, we have barrel lights that can cause instant nausea if someone were to look into them, semi-portable insant-doorways that can blow a doorway through a 24 inches of concrete pretty easily, etc. etc.
Real life armed forces are not to be trifled with.

Comic Book Villain Tech > Real World Military Tech
Based on what? Because Comic Book Villain Tech has only been put up against jobber military comic tech. Which is outdated by at least 10-20 years (if not more), and being used by inferior soldiers.
Until someone can actually provide me feats from comic book armed forces that puts them anywhere near real modern day soldiers, then I can't take people beating them seriously. They usually used outdated weapons, they have a "stand around for 10 minutes asking the villain who clearly has no intent to drop his weapon or surrender and ask him to drop his weapon and surrender with you weapon pointing towards the floor" policy that often gets them killed. That can't hit a single moving target that's at best peak human.
I mean come on, even your average hunter can hit a clay pigeon (as many as 3-5 by the way) moving at 40+ miles per hour with no real issue, and that's nowhere near the size of a human being, and travels much much faster. Then you have expert marksman shooting 5+ of those things moving at 70+ miles per hour.
Yet somehow I'm to believe that the Joker beating armed forces who can't hit a single human being running directly at him and not bothering to dodge the marksman's storm-trooper level shooter somehow makes him better than even your average hunter? Doubt it.
If the Joker and Harley were deemed to be killed and not taken alive, they would get tear gased or a smoke canister would be launched in their direction, and the two would be taken out before they even saw who was shooting at them.
Mini-Nuke? Exists already, can take out a small town with ease. I think it's been around for 25+ years. I don't see why the Joker having one was really that surprising. Captain Cold? Really? One LRAD would ruin his day, same goes with most of the Rogues in the gallery. Bane? I don't see why any decent marksman can't simply shoot him from long range. Who cares how strong that venom makes him, your average troop has more than enough weapons to take him out. Again, he's an enormous human being, who even traveling at twice the top sprint speed ever recorded would be moving barely faster than a clay pigeon. Except he'd be 1,000 times bigger and easier to hit.
I get it, Luthor's suit and all that jazz are well above human capacity. However, most Street Levelers have tech that the military could counter or blow away with no real issue. The Joker and Harley can be as fast as they want, Tear Gas, Smoke Canisters, Flash-Bangs, Grenades, Guns, etc. All of them in the hands of a non-jobbing fully capable armed forces member should be more than capable of matching the Joker.
And as much as people say "they take out comic book military forces all the time", the fact is, even in the most recent comics, these guys are using extremely inferior and outdated tech, and have no feats to back up that they could stand up to even your average modern day footsoldier.
