Killing him would totally go against the point of Batman Begins. I think the Joker should be killed by Gordon. Gordon is a cop and cops are allowed to kill at times without crossing the moral line that Batman killing anytime would cross.
On a side note I really hated the ending of No Man's Land. Joker kills a cop, Gordon's own wife, after mass killings and paralyzing Gordon's daughter and he doesn't kill him? At that point Gotham wasn't part of the US and subject to any laws. It was silly for the writers to set that situation up without killing the Joker.

Bow ties are coool.
