Not willing to die without taking as many people with him as possible, Joker had his poisoned blood shipped to every emergency room in Gotham and the state. In addition, Joker infected Batman with his blood as well to force the vigilante to find the cure for him. For the rest of the night Batman went through seemingly impossible odds to find a cure to save himself, his enemy and his city from certain death.
Batman eventually found a way to create an antidote with the help of Mr. Freeze ; the cure required a sample of Ra's al Ghul 's blood. Just when hope was about to be in Batman's hands it was snatched by Harley who stole it from Freeze's safe while he was fighting Batman. Seemingly cured of his illness while Batman was rapidly beginning to succumb to his, Joker put into motion his plan to stage a violent breakout from Arkham City.
Determined to put a stop to the Joker's plans before he caused anymore death and destruction, Batman made his way to Joker's Funhouse at the Sionis Steel Mill where he finally confronted his arch-nemesis. However, before Batman could take the Joker down, they were interrupted by Hugo Strange 's Protocol In the resulting explosion, Batman was pinned down by rubble, which left him vulnerable to the Joker, who planned to slit his throat. Before he could make good on his threats, Joker was interrupted by Talia al Ghul , who offered to take him to the Lazarus Pit where he could become immortal and all-powerful in exchange for him sparing Batman's life.
Despite Batman's protests that Talia didn't realize who she's dealing with, Joker brutally knocked Batman out and the two then departed to the Lazarus Pit. Later, after he was freed from the rubble by Catwoman , and stopped Strange and Protocol 10, Batman made his way to the Monarch Theatre where he witnessed Talia seemingly kill the Joker with her sword through his back and out through his stomach.
Unfortunately, Talia gravely underestimated her enemy's cunning, and was brutally shot in the back in cold blood from behind by the real Joker who had been using Clayface as a decoy. Batman and Clayface then engaged in a brutal fight to get the Titan Cure which Talia had stolen earlier from Harley and then dropped when she was shot.
I find it particularly nice that Arkham City has no mini-map. You'll remember that mini-maps are not my favorite thing.
In their place, player-designated waypoints turn up in the game as a bat signal, which is viewable from anywhere. In no time, I had arrived at my destination, ready to kick ass. My mission: find the Joker, and discover what his mysterious "Protocol 10" was all about. After clearing out the guards patrolling the chimneys poking up from the mill's depths, I climbed up to the very top of the highest smokestack and dove in. Batman is all balls, I tell you what—dude leapt over the rim of the chimney and dove straight down towards the pool of molten steel at its bottom.
As I made my way through the ducts under the mill, I heard Harley Quinn holding forth in the rooms above.
I made my way around a large arena of sorts, where a large group of Joker's thugs were surrounding the poor EMT. As I circled the room out of sight, Harley introduced "Mr.
Hammer," the huge sledge-wielding goon last seen in that cool Joker trailer that was released about a week ago. I should talk for a second about Detective Mode, which I used quite a bit while making my way through the mill. Several people asked about it after my last preview, so I payed special attention to it this time around. Ginn told me that they were taking steps to keep players from using Detective Mode for the entire game as some reported doing in Arkham Asylum , but that it was a challenge coming up with ways to do so organically.
As he said, "Batman isn't going to have a second cooldown timer on his visor's detective mode. I certainly used it a lot, but only to figure out puzzles. For most of my time playing the game, I had it turned off, and the game worked just fine. Anyhow, back to the action. Before Mr. Hammer could drop his giant weapon on the EMT, Harley intervened—they couldn't kill her, since they needed her to help the Joker.
She was taken away, and I followed after them. I came upon a large enclosed space patrolled by a grip of armed goons, and so it was time to do that whole Arkham Asylum thing and take to the rafters and eliminate them one by one.
Gargoyle fans will be sad to hear that Asylum 's ubiquitous stone monstrosities did not turn up in the steel mill, replaced by girders that served much the same function. I had a freakin huge assortment of gadgets at my disposal, which Ginn assured me wouldn't be available at this point in the game.
After subduing all of the guards, I did a sweet flying kick through a window into the room where they were holding the EMT and freed her. Store Page.

I say this because when Batman left the theatre he was carrying Joker's body and not Talia's who Ra's Al Ghul says is "the only person Batman's ever loved" and Bruce just seemed sad overall. I also imagine Bruce tearing up while listening to Joker's voice message that plays during the credits.
I know that Joker liked Batman a lot and without him he wouldn't have a reason to go on but did Batman like Joker too? So was Batman actually sad or am I completely wrong?

He might have felt guilt because he felt in some way responsible and killing goes against his most strongly held moral.
I think he took the body outside to show all the other goons that Joker was dead so that they would no longer have a leader to group around.
It just looked like he had more remorse for Joker than he did for Talia. I understand that he feels guilty like you said but still I think of it this way
