I'll wade into the whole debate about the Joker saying he didn't have any plans.
I think you guys are looking at it the wrong way.

Yes clearly the Joker has some pretty well laid out plans, the bank robery, the boats, the Racel/Harvey bomb setup.

The point isn't that the Joker is flying by the seat of his pants when he's blowing stuff up, the point is that he doesn't have an endgame.

He's just blowing stuff up for the sake of it, and doesn't really know or care what he is accomplishing by doing it other than killing folks and blowing stuff up. This is the type of plan he is refering to, not the individual incidents, but the big picture.
