Okay. Big Spoilers.

So the Joker straight up dying wasn't that shocking because of Mark Hamil's retirement pledge. But other crap has just got me thinking with their none-too-subtle sequel hooks. Harley Quinn is really pregnant? did anybody else see the pregnancy test by her costume?
And I can't see clayface getting knocked into the Lazarus Pit not coming back to bite someone in their bat-behind. Jack Ryder/passing references to The Creeper. Hush. My brain is all a swirl. Tell me your impressions, E.

All that stuff with Azareal in the side missions is another sequel hook too. Methinks Harley will be using her pregnancy as a plot point, or as an excuse to set into motion the burning Gotham that Azareal mentions. Ra's al Ghul could reenter his lazarus pit, but with Clayface in there, the two might get fused together.

On another note, I wonder if Scarecrow will be in it again.

Why was Harley Quinn tied up when you return to the steel mill. I mean I realise she can be annoying but Joker's surely used to her now.

Only theory I've heard is from a friend who though Joker had tied her up to stop her from trying to fight batman, which would endanger the baby. But I don't think it's ever explained in-game, unless I missed it.

I was massively shocked and appalled that Talia Al'ghul was killed, she's my favouritest! :(

I just played through New Game+ and the only thing that is not concluded on is what happened to the citizens that got infected with Joker's sickness. I guess Batman could make more of the cure using his blood or from the cure that spilled on the floor but it seemed to be hard to make according to Freeze. Harley is definitely pregnant as there's an extra little bit pretty much confirming she's pregnant at the very end of the New Game+ credits for those that didn't already know.

I'm kinda wondering if Ra's or Talia will be able to come back because of what happened to the Lazarus pit (is the pit even reachable yet alone usable?), Ra's might have been able to quickly get to the pit before the final battle but Talia definitely not. Clayface is almost certainly not dead.

That part where Batman goes through all the evidence of clay-joker was effing amazing. that whole scene was just inspired.

Rocksteady did indeed kill off Joker because that is Mark Hammil's last time doing Joker's voice.
