Line 11:
*** Oh, I know that. My origial point was that the henchmen themselves, who are used to working with her, are saying she's becoming worse.
* 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, and when you're that stupid and desperate for girls, your mind tends to be extremely weak...
* Mad Hatter usually targets blonde girls and women as part of his ''[[Alice in Wonderland (Literature)|Alice in Wonderland]]'' mania; you first see him when Batman rescues Vicki Vale, a blonde. It's a hint that he's going to abduct her, {{spoiler|so it's even more surprising when he manages to kidnap ''you'', on top of the pretty damn impressive way he accomplished it.}}
* Why would Talia, a member of the League of Assassins, not kill Harley and instead tie her up? {{spoiler|She probably was going to, until Harley told her she was pregnant.}}
* Arkham City reveals that {{spoiler|Gotham has a naturally occurring Lazarus Pit right underneath it, and has had for at least a century, probably longer. Gotham also has a long history of darkness and insanity. What is one of the known side effects of Lazarus Pit exposure? Insanity. So, why does Gotham have the problems it does? Because the whole populace, for centuries, has been suffering low level uncontrolled Lazarus exposure. Not enough to induce clinically detectable effects, but enough that Gotham has a freakish number of madmen. }}
Line 33:
** Also, how comes nobody took the trophies before Batman did, considering several lines of dialogues between mooks show that they do see them and it's not a case of [[Gameplay and Story Segregation]]? If you try to pick up a trophy meant for Catwoman while playing as Batman, Batman gets an electric shock and a taunt from Nigma, which shows that the trophies are apparently rigged to be picked up by specific people.
*** On the other hand, Catwoman can collect Batman trophies at will. How? Well, she is the world's greatest thief...
* Joker's {{spoiler|last words are a mirror opposite of his last words in ''[[Batman Beyond (Animation)|Batman Beyond]]'' movie, a death scene also voiced by [[Mark Hamill]]}}
* In his trailer, the Riddler challenges Batman, telling him that he will fail: for that, he uses the words "lie blabbering like an ignorant child on the floor". Now, looking at his background, don't those words get some deeper meaning?
* The Joker's "So, how do you keep a secret from the world's greatest detective? Well, do you know? It's easy! You stick it right in front of him, right under his long, pointy nose... and wait!" - Yes, it's [[Foreshadowing]] {{spoiler|the Clayface reveal at the end of the game}}, but think about it - What did Joker do in ''[[Batman: Arkham Asylum|Arkham Asylum]]''? He went & stuck a TV on his head, before pretending to be a mannequin in the Visiting Room for the majority of the game. He's outright ''mocking'' Batman for falling for it once, and then not seeing through it again!
 
== [[Fridge Horror]] ==
* {{spoiler|It's [[Batman Beyond (Animation)|previously been shown]] that Harley Quinn has a much better chance of reforming after the Joker dies. He's dead by the end of the game...but she's carrying his baby, and it definitely sounds like she's on the verge of a [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge|breakdown]] while singing to it. It's a common tactic for abusers to get their victims pregnant so that they stay in the relationship. Did the Joker do this on purpose so that she'd be trapped by [[Mad Love]], even after he died?}}
** {{spoiler|It's also shown that when one of the people she is devoted to isn't taking her in she just goes to the other, she is probably just going to become obsessively devoted to the next person who is nice to her, or Ivy.}}
* Here's a worse one. {{spoiler|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.}}
Line 63:
** On a realated note {{spoiler|what about all the patients that were infected? The only cure(s) were destroyed and given the amount of time stated to have passed in game it's unlikey a cure could be reproduced in time.}}
*** Thankfully, a radio broadcast in ''Harley Quinn's Revenge revealed that {{spoiler|everyone Joker infected was treated in time and made a full recovery. Batman just got a larger dose since he was hooked up to an IV containing the tainted blood when he awoke}}.
* In ''[[Batman: Arkham City]]'', Batman does not kill. All well and good, until you realize that in fight scenes, he's snapping arms, legs, ankles, and possibly backs and just leaving the thugs he mutilates in a Darwinist anarchistic society with multiple serial killers running around (one of them Zsasz, who is an independent player and allied to no one). He may not kill, but a snapped neck might be a mercy compared to being vulnerable in Arkham City...
** Not to mention it is currently winter in arkham city, and temperatures are around the freezing point. A person moderately clothed will have little problems with even extended exposure to the elements, but when they are wearing nothing but sleeveless prison uniforms and are laying unconscious on the cold, wet pavement, it would not take long for hypothermia or exposure to set in... Although Penguin's thugs are probably fine, since they are the only ones actually wearing any form of insulated clothing.
** In Batman Begins, when Batman is fighting Ra's Al Ghul on the train, Batman tells Ra's Al Ghul "I won't kill you... but I don't have to save you". I don't know if that's canon, but it suggests his moral code is flexible in that regard.
