Batman stands for a sense of justice, however distorted it may be, and retribution. While most interpretations of the Joker are much more focused on creating some form of chaos and typically doing so with a tortuous game or a forced situation that he places his target into, such as shooting Barbara Gordon in The Killing Joke as a way
