10 Most Paused Video Game Moments Ever

10. The Pregnancy Test - Arkham City

Most developers cram secrets into their games to set up future instalments, but Rocksteady have always been ahead of the curve when it comes to including small details that grow into larger plot points years later.

One rather dark detail which took the internet by storm back when Arkham City released, though, was a pregnancy test discovered in the game's later stages. Heavily hinted to be Harley Quinn's, a closer look at the pee-stick revealed it to be a positive result, with the implication that while The Joker may be dead, a part of him would literally live on through Harley and his child.

It was a mystery fans tried to get to the bottom of for months, until a DLC, Harley's Revenge, eventually answered it concretely. Although Rocksteady were going to push ahead with this Joker baby plotline, they later had a change of heart and decided to drop it, putting an end to the mystery by proving it was actually a false positive.
