I thought they hired him to take care of Batman. That's what he was doing up until he gave up/embraced Batman and went with the plan of being caught in order to retrieve Lao. Before then Maroni even says, you can solve all this by turning yourself over to the Joker. It's also preceded by the other top mobster saying "he was right, we need to hire him to kill batman."

I think perhaps they hired him to do both. Kill Batman and/or get their money back. Whatever it took to get their money back, which he originally thought was simply to kill The Batman. Then he took another route.
Maybe bringing Lao to them was even better.

Theres two or three ways to look at the situation and they all make sense. The only reason theres speculation is because there is no scene in which the conditions of the mobs deal with the Joker is explained. Nor is there a scene preceding him burning all the money during his meeting with the mob.

I guess the viewer can take their pick between one of the two possiblities.

What does everyone think?
