I'm mostly reminded of the issue of Flash where Pied Piper came out of the closet (in fact, I think Piper was the first openly gay DC character). The whole thing happened because Wally was saying that he thought the Joker must be gay--for almost exactly the same reasons you gave. He then added that "you can always tell" with "people like that."
Piper says from what he's heard the Joker isn't gay--isn't anything but crazy and hurtful. Then he tells Wally he can't think of any gay supervillains. "Except for me. But you knew that already, didn't you?"
At any rate, implying that the Joker might not be straight is hardly a new thing, even in the comics. Read Azzarello's Joker. The subtext is but a word scramble from buttsex.

The joker isn't gay or straight. He's predatory.
And so many bonus points for mentioning Hartley! I love that scene!
