A villain is the hero in his own story.

Well said.
A villain almost never sees himself as the bad guy.

What makes the Joker so unique however, is he doesn't care (at least in the context of this movie).
He wants to matter, he wants to be in control of his own life and he wants to be happy.

By the end, he understands most people see him as a villain, he also understands that they don't understand him.
He no longer sees right and wrong as they do. He is happy, wants others to be the same kind of happy that he has become, and that's all that matters.

That depends how much of what Joker did was hallucination and how much actually happened.
