Yup, the bad guy always has to win in the second installment of a trilogy!

Though technically didn't they sort of win in the TFA too?

Joker loses in the Dark Knight.

Harvey Dent was Jokers end-game, to corrupt the "White Knight" of Gotham. He succeeded. Sure Batman minimized the damage of that by taking the blame for Harvey's murders, but in doing so also hung up his cape. 

Joker knew he was going to be caught at the end of Dark Knight, by the end he was simply a distraction so Harvey could prove his point, that anyone can fall to chaos and insanity, even Gotham's "Shining Example", Harvey Dent.

It's not a clear cut victory for either, but Joker didn't really lose.
