Common myths and misconceptions

This page was made to clear any common myths and misconceptions regarding the Batman: Arkham series as a whole, as they're still being spread in its community.

Batman's right arm

Despite popular theories saying that Batman's deformed right arm is caused by the TITAN injection (or other self-centered activities) in Batman: Arkham Asylum, this simply is not true, as it is visible in Batman: Arkham Origins and with other playable characters.

Batman's deformed right arm is caused by the camera positioning and field of view, if you center the camera, whether it be via Batman: Arkham Knight's photo mode or through mods, the arm will go back to looking symmetrical with the other one. This is something called perspective distortion.

Quinton Flynn as Nightwing's Voice Actor

There have been pages that have falsely credited Quinton Flynn as Nightwing's voice actor in Batman: Arkham City, despite him never being mentioned in the credits of any version of the game. This is debunked immediately by Troy Baker's statement that "[he] was originally brought in to be [Nightwing]".

Despite Nightwing never being voiced at all in the final game, he uses Robin's hurt grunts, which makes him technically be voiced by Troy Baker. He was also planned to appear instead of Robin as the character who delivers the Line Launcher to Batman.

Harley Quinn's Pregnancy

No, Batman did not kill Harley Quinn's baby, as seen in the Sionis Steel Mill's manager office, there is a pregnancy test on the ground with a positive result, but there's also a disclaimer in the box that says that false positive results are possible. If you go there in the DLC story Harley Quinn's Revenge, there'll be more of the same pregnancy tests, all with negative results.

Additionally, the Joker is incapable of conceiving human life, as being thrown into a vat full of acid, filling your entire body with chemicals, and on top of that, having TITAN poisoning does that.
