Is the joker dead in the film?

Well, yes. The joker is dead, because he had suffered from a disease that was eating at his body, slowly killing him, in Arkham City. Plus, Arkham City had a NEW Joker voice actor, so it WAS the death of the joker, hypothetically.Yes. He was killed by Batman a long time ago... (Accidentally of course) But this doesn't mean he hasn't/won't come back...

Why was Harley Quinn so sad after Joker's death from Batman Arkham City?

if u would have known how they fell in love then you would kno why she was sad but i will explain it to u if i must: harleeen quinnzelle started out as a sane nurse working for Arkham asylum. on her first day the Joker noticed her and later in the day the Joker sent her a love note stating "come see me some time-J." at this harleen became interested and went to interview the joker. harleen unexpectedly listened to a sad life story of how his father beat him and how Joker tried to get his father to laugh once in awhile but never could. he also explained how batman would never understand the jokes that he played to try and get everyone to have a laugh. after that interview harleen became madly interested with him. later in the week Joker escaped from Arkham asylum but was soon caught and placed back in the asylum with major injuries. harleen was worried about him all during the while and when joker was placed back in the asylum she decided to become the Harlequinnade and bust him out. since then harleen has been obsessed with Joker and his psychotic ways. when joker died she experienced the loss of a lifetime because Joker was all she had. i actually think its kinda sad
