Batman Arkham City: Is the Joker REALLY dead?

I'm having trouble accepting that the Joker seemingly died at the end of Batman Arkham City. Do you guys think he is really dead? Because he has faked his death MANY times before in seemingly inescapable situations (getting shot or blown up). I'm thinking that the Joker took some of the antidote when Batman was unconscious earlier and just put more makeup on or something to look sick. Or maybe he hired Clayface to be the sick Joker and the roles were switched. What do you guys think?

Let him die, its a nice conclusion to the series.

He died, it was epic and a great send off, let him be.

Not if DC wants to keep cashing in on Arkham games...

I'm pretty sure he died. You already beat Clayface in the game just a little earlier so I don't see how he'd come back so quick to help joker pull a switch and Batman carries joker's body out. You'd think Batman would make absolutely sure it was the joker after the earlier switch with Clayface. Especially since their is a time gap between the end and the harley quinn DLC. So you know Batman's looked over the body already.

It's my one problem with Arkham Origins. I feel like they didn't want to have a game without Joker so they just did this prequel as an excuse to keep him in the games.

@monsterstomp: umm nice conclusion they still have crane and hush also many more plots what is with no one ever making other villians in charge

Put in some punctuation.

I'll take it as;

Umm, "nice conclusion"? They still have Crane and Hush, also many more plots. What is with no one ever making other villains in charge?

I think a detective game around Hush would be awesome, as well as Crane. However, this is about Joker.

@monsterstomp: sorry I am typing from a IPhone with the devil on I mean auto correct and what do you mean by a detective game. Like a more asylum based game cause that would be great. Possibly a game taking place only in the asylum and a bit of Gotham that broken, I did not like how origins turned out

Yes.

Yes, he is.

Please stop pretending he isn't.

He's not even the main Joker.

Let the f**king reaper have this one.

@redleader1: The Hush missions in Arkham City were fun as. More detective missions like that and I'll be fine with it.

@monsterstomp: and less relying on the batcomputer and more of the clearing then backtracking from asylum. also more batman like fell city felt off and origins was not at all batman like.
