After Grissom died, Joker tried to manipulate the mob kingpins into believing that Grissom was in hiding and that Grissom left him in charge. Rotelli was suspicious of the Joker because of his bizarre grin and did not want to take orders from him.
As a result, Joker electrocuted Rotelli to death with his joy buzzer and then, the following day, he assassinated Vinnie Ricorso on steps of City Hall when Ricorso tried to use law and manipulation against the Joker by filing a false affidavit that stated that Grissom had instead handed Ricorso all of his operations.
As for Alicia, she would fall to her death later on, which was implied to be either suicide from the macabre lifestyle that Joker introduced her to, or murder as Joker now had affections for the photojournalist Vicki Vale instead of her.
Grissom's death would be avenged when the Joker fell to his death from a helicopter while trying to escape from Batman. Despite his death, Grissom's indirect creation of the Joker would pave the way for numerous crimelords who were inspired by Joker's theatricality such as Penguin , Two-Face , Riddler , Mr. Freeze , and Poison Ivy.
A department store owner named Max Shreck , who was quite similar to Grissom, would try to take advantage of the new era by working with the Penguin to terrorize the city in a bid for Penguin to become mayor so that Shreck's power plant could be approved. Similar to Grissom, Shreck would be responsible for the creation of Catwoman, who was almost as unstable as the Joker, and then meet his death at the hands of Catwoman in cold blood similar to how Grissom died at the hands of the Joker.
Following Shreck's death, the final remaining mob boss left in Gotham was Sal Moroni , who accidentally created Two-Face in an attempt to kill him in court under the belief that he was secretly a murderer targeting the remnants of the criminal underworld. Moroni was presumably convicted of his actions, as they were witnessed inside a courtroom full of law officials. According to the novelization, Carl Grissom enjoys the finer things in life, such as his mistress Alicia Hunt, whom he felt looked so good hanging from his arm and his penthouse, which had the best view in Gotham City in Grissom's opinion.
Grissom had an excellent relationship with Jack Napier, prior to his transformation to the Joker, until Grissom learned from Lieutenant Eckhardt that Napier was having an affair with Alicia behind his back. Napier mentioned that Grissom was a tired old man who "couldn't run the city without [Napier]", which indicated that he was treacherous against his boss and was content with waiting until the mob boss died before he could take over the mob.
Enraged, Grissom worked with Eckhardt to engineer a scheme to have Napier assassinated by removing the records connecting Axis Chemicals to his empire and sending Napier to Axis Chemicals to steal the evidence before Harvey Dent could. Grissom knew his employees that well as he anticipated Napier would suggest to break into Axis Chemicals, take the records, and manipulate the public into believing it was industrial espionage.
Grissom is an expert manipulator as he was able to hide his anger towards Napier and manipulate him into falling for a trap. It seems unclear what Grissom's relationship with Alicia was beforehand, but Grissom did treat her as if she was property and was very controlling towards her. Jack Napier : Jack Napier:. Jack Napier : Me? Jack Napier :. Jack Napier : [Stands up and grabs his hat and coat while his goons leave] Carl uh - can we get somebody else to do this? There are fumes in that place.

Ironically, Grissom and Napier's relationship echoes that of Batman and Joker.
