In my opinion, I feel that, while the the Joker is going to get out of this alive, the Expendables will just BARELY prevail. There are many things that give the Expendables success:

Teamwork
The Expendables work great as a team. No mater the number of grunts or the brutality their enemies bring, the Expendables teamwork have gotten them REALLY far. They are able to protect and cover each other and are willing to take a bullet for each other. The Joker and his allies don't really work together that well. While Harly will take a bullet for the Joker, the Joker will do nothing for anyone and the Mad Hatter would run and leave the Joker for dead to save his own hide. Teamwork is a deadly tool and the Expendables excel in it.

Physicality
The Expendables are have extraordinary physical conditions. They can take a beating and produce even more to their foes. The Joker and the Mad Hatter are not the strongest warriors or toughest fighters. That's why they use weapons and wits. They won't last in a fight. Harley has the best of the bunch but even then, she doesn't compare to the Expendables

Training
The Expendables are made up of special forces members. They know how to kill use their weapons, skills and tactics for ultimate effect. The Joker, Harley and the Mad Hatters have no military training what so ever. The militia MIGHT have some minor military training but it is nothing compared to the training the Expendables have.

Weapons
The Expendables are packing powerful and incredibly practical weapons. The Joker has a lot of deadly tools but they are either out of date or mostly for show and requires to be used at just the right moment. Same goes for the Mad Hatter. The Expendables are packing the better guns, explosives and hand to hand combat weapons to the fight.

Tactics
The Expendables are capable of producing effective plans that can whip out a large group of people without having a single casualty on their side. They are also willing to take risks but are able to get a massive amount of reward from it. The Joker is also very tactical. He has killed many people using his traps and intellect. However, his plans have shown to have tiny holes that Batman has always looked for and found. If the Expendables look just closely enough, they may be able to ruin the Jokers plan.

Courage
The Expendables know they are Expendable. They almost never give up. They will push on, even if the chances are slim. This should allow them to trek through all the challenges the Joker throws at them. Intimidation is a powerful tool but the Joker's Obstacle won't intimidate the Expendables enough for them to give up

Overall
While the Joker might live at the end, I see the Expendables wining this. They will be hurting in the morning at the end but they ahve the Teamwork, Training, Physicality, Weapons, Tactics and Courage to win this. They might not be Batman, but when they are working together, they will get the job done.
