I get the Dark Knight reference, but essentially the Joker was BSing about not having a plan. His plan is simple and his motivatiion while not revealed makes sense only to himself. The plan which has taken decades in the comics, was to get Batman to break his one rule, humiliate him to the highest possible degree, then kill him. Then when he's dead he goes home, has some chinese food and goes to make Gotham Crazy before retiring peacefully as when he succeeds in killing Batman, crime no longer has a punchline.

Yes it's true that no character in Another, both good and bad lack motivation even the minor characters have something to shoot for, I often wondered if there was someone in Yomiyama so attuned to the bizarre deaths that if someone put a stop to them fully. (Not that it's likely to happen any time sooner.) He/she would want to restart them out of sheer boredom (Kinda like how Death Note was started because a Shinigami and a Straight A student were bored). I even thought of how they'd do it too. Let's say hypothetically they managed to put death back on it's proper track, no longer cursing class 3-3. This person would go to interview Yomi North under the guise of some kind of interviewer. Because it's now safe people would gladly spill the beans on how it all started. So naturally this person would try to recreate the events. He'd have a popular student die, try to rouse others into pretending said student was alive and sit back to enjoy the upcoming ride. But unlike the original example it never happens and he tries to do it again and again. Either this would be for nothing and he's pretty much a killer or maybe started an even worse curse.
