Or, you know, just being a colossal dick for no reason.

One advantage video games have over movies and books is that they are the only medium where you actually feel like you're walking in the shoes of the protagonist -- a good game will convince you that's really you galloping across meadows, exploring futuristic cities, having sex with pigeons , etc.

The Arkham games are based entirely around controlling Batman and his friends and beating the everloving shit out of waves of flamboyant bad guys. This is why we love them.

She's in the middle of trying to kill you and everything you love, after all:

But there's just one little thing -- a very little thing.

See, the Arkham games are full of crazy Easter eggs for amateur sleuths to find, like the secret room in Arkham Asylum or the entire secret city in Arkham City. The latter game also has a hidden room of its own, though: one belonging to Quinn. Some quick snooping reveals a positive pregnancy test on the floor, implying that the Clown Prince of Crime does not put a glove on it.

If Batman discovers this happy little accident, Quinn can be heard singing "Hush, Little Baby" during the end credits, clearly directed at the future juggalo growing inside of her. However, the fans' rabid speculation about the Joker/Harley baby was cut short when Rocksteady added another Easter egg to the "Harley Quinn's Revenge" DLC, which is set after the main story. If Bats returns to the room, he finds a slew of negative pregnancy tests, leading him to deduct that Quinn was crazy and desperately believed a false positive.

Uh, really, world's greatest detective? That's your deduction? Let's go over the chain of events again:
