Given that his final joke began right when they cut to a shot of Bruce in the alley way, I was thinking that Joker was imagining a scenario where he himself created his greatest foe, and eventual downfall. Cyclical type thing. T. Wayne helped create Joker, Joker helps create Batman by getting T. Wayne killed, Batman becomes his arch nemesis whose goal is to clean up Gotham. Otherwise it seems weird to have him start to tell that joke right when they show that alley.

I think it's open to interpretation. Every scene with Bruce looks like Joker's imagining it, Bruce has the same expressionless look and doesn't even really react to his parents death. And the whole Joker may be making up all or some of his story fits with the whole "I prefer my past to be multiple choice"
