Joker in a ridiculous stomp :-7
One year of prep is simply way too much and especially without and kind of other information regarding the fight. Where is the fight taking place? A random encounter decided by the Joker, since Cap has only 5 minutes prep?
What keeps the Joker from jumping onto Bane's Venom (which is now in New 52 OVER THE TOP), wearing a suit with many poison (Joker toxin) needles, have a bunch of guns and luring Cap into a warehouse, where he has set up a ton of Joker bombs?
Joker on Bane's Venom would already be too much for Cap IMO (and it would have to be Ultimate Cap to have a chance), but then all the other prep factors being a part of the fight ... simply a stop for the Joker.
PS: I absolutely hate the Joker. One of the worst characters in comic book history, only topped by Batman.
I know real world and military logic doesent apply to comics all the time. But in the Marines we set "prep" or set up what is called a "hasty ambush". The most random times and situations rtend to be the most ideal time to take someone out. IE: while cap is visiting a fallen war veterans memorial, shopping at Spencers (his typical hangout spot). Etc.
You can prep for 10 years to take me out. If someone tells me 5 minutes beforehand that you are making a plan to kill me, that has just negated your waste of ten years. As I am now going to be wary of anything that even involves you. I am not going to enter any iffy warehouses or go down any dark alleys with joker cards scattered about. The next time I hear about you doing some bullshittery I am going to assume you are trying to lure me in. And I will send the Hulk in red, white and blue pants and a cardboard shield.

If there are any hostages in the warehouse, Captain America will go in.
