Has he destroyed all his pain receptors? It doesn't matter how much pounding he takes from the bat, he still laughs.
Answer
The Joker knows that Batman will not kill him, and that the current court and prison system in Gotham is too corrupt for the Joker to be properly judged and jailed. In The Dark Knight, the Joker expresses this:
You have nothing, nothing to threaten me with. Nothing to do with all your strength.
Batman will never kill the Joker as it goes against what Batman stands for. Both the Joker and Batman know this. The Joker is laughing at Batman's frustration. Even when the Joker is convinced he is actually going to die, he believes he has won by making Batman break his only rule, which is not to kill.
Summary: the Joker is laughing at Batman's frustration, since as long as Gotham remains corrupt and Batman sticks to his morals, the Joker will always win.
