another factor to point out: batman tends to work on his own when it comes to gotham, save for members of the bat family. he rarely calls for outside help. in marvel NYC, all the heroes are well connected with each other. if matt or peter have to deal with joker, they will call in some help.
Joker has literally hid from Batman, a far superior detective with far superior resources to Frank and not been able to find Joker for months on end. Punisher is literally never going to find Joker unless Joker literally misleading to a trap where he fills the entire warehouse with joker gas the second Frank steps into it.
