Remember Palpatine, Sauron, and Voldemort get defeated in Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, and Harry Potter. It is typical of many shows or movies intended for a wide audience range to defeat the villain and have a happy ending. Granted some movies don't end that way though, some either have a dark ending or have the villain a karma houdini (like most of the Pinocchio villains). Shows intended only for younger viewers, if they do have villains they usually don't even get as dark as Nightmare Moon or Discord so there's really no need for the show to kill, imprison, or reform them coz they're not too huge a threat. Atleast I don't think they do.

For the Joker, if we're talking about comics, well, that's a little different, and in the Tim Burton movies and the animated series the Joker does die, doesn't he? And even in the Batman comics I think a lot of the villains get sent to Arkham Asylum, where they can always have them return by escaping, and if they don't return, we assume they remain there
