Then the film basically ends with him getting arrested again (presumably)... And we're to expect that, after all that, he's not going to be able to find a way out again?


I think Nolan and his crew have quite a predicament on their hands...
Not really spoilers, but could lead people to draw conclusions:

Things aren't really any different in the comics. It is stated that the Joker, somehow, has the ability to pretty much come and go as he wants from Arkham. Any time he is captured, he can escape at any moment. He says something like "I only stay here to rest."

There are times when he breaks out, does things, then comes back. This doesn't mean that the Joker is in every single Batman comic, though, so not being in the last movie isn't a big deal. They can just say something about how he's currently locked up in Arkham, and the audience can assume that he hasn't broken out yet.

The Joker's final words to Batman "We're destined to do this for all time" says to be that Nolan wasn't completely done with the Joker, and he would have had at least a substantial cameo in the third one, but alas. I don't think he'll be resurrected, just mentioned.
