* It's possible that all the negative pregnancy tests littering the floor in "Harley Quinn's Revenge" might not have been the result of a false positive, but rather the result of a subsequent miscarriage with all the aforementioned "throwing Harley around" issue. Given credence in that the negative tests don't appear in the main game, but rather after.

* A small yet surprisingly chilling example is one of Batman's Game Over screens featuring Harley Quinn. As opposed to her usual kiddish insults she asks "If you're dead who's going to save poor Mister J?". At the end of the game Joker dies regardless thanks to his own selfishness and carelessness which results in Batman dropping the remaining antidote he was going to give Joker regardless of everything. This game over screen pretty much reveals that Harley despite baiting and attacking Batman, was probably just acting out of her usual madness and secretly fully counted on him to save Joker from his sickness. Post-Game, you're treated to a new game-over screen featuring Harley-Quinn that confirms all this. She says (in a noticeably frustrated and saddened tone) "You were supposed to save Mister J, Bat-Brain. In essence, Batman unintentionally and unwittingly crushed Harley's hopes of Joker making a full recovery.

Rouge Angles Of Satin rearing its head again. "Here" and "hear" are not the same word.


** It was to spite [[BadBoss Penguin]], who in-setting is a complete JerkAss and constantly badgered the guy for intel for two days. He probably lied that Joker went into hiding just so he had a reason to come back.
** He was stationed on "one of the tall buildings near Sionis." This puts him in Amusement Mile, which is partially sunk because Ra's had to uncover the Lazarus Pit in Wonder City. The collapse may have happened before he could fire.
** He mentioned Harley doing "things" to Joker that disgusted the would-be sniper. He saw the ''real'', sickly Joker and told Penguin. Joker's health was already the subject of InUniverse rumor, but this was proof the clown was on his way out. Given all the MookChatter we here of Joker's henchmen changing sides after he goes, Penguin decided to wait until the remaining gang was at its weakest before conquering their territory.

* Why is 'MOCKINGBIRD' the password to Hush's hideout? Mockingbirds take their name from the ability to mimic the calls of other birds, which is almost exactly what Hush has done to [[spoiler: Bruce Wayne]]

* After defeating Penguin, you find some thugs discussing about annoying he is, one of them bringing up the time Penguin sent him to kill Joker. The story ends before the guy can explain why Penguin never gave the order to fire, but we have three possibilities:

* Here's a worse one. Remember during the start of the game, Harley attacked Batman in the game and if you counter it, he tossed her on the floor? Pretty good shoutout to the last game huh? Now do it again knowing that she's carrying a baby. This also applies to Batman tossing her aside during the "fake Joker gag" scene, and whatever it was that Talia did that led to her being BoundAndGagged.

* How does a weak, clearly unstable and untrustworthy guy like the Mad Hatter manage to catch so many criminals from various powerful gangs under his hypnotism? Check the sign outside the room you fight him in: It says "Live Nudes". That's right, criminals came into the Mad Hatter's room looking for nude girls in the middle of a lawless prison, and when you're that stupid and desperate for girls, your mind tends to be extremely weak. Also, you can overhear mook banters where thugs lust over Harley, Catwoman, Poison Ivy, and even ''Norah Fries'', another clue Arkham City's thugs could logically be attracted by such a bait.

** Possibly that hen they were built, the Iceberg Lounge and the Monarch Theater were considered an upscale, safe area. Park Row at least SEEMS like it was nicer when created. The deaths of Thomas and Martha Wayne are usually considered the turning point for Gotham's criminal boom.
