It's the "B side" of the issue in question as the main story is Joker going around a hospital of cancer patients while being chased by an ineffective Red Hood/Jason Todd who really should have smoked Mister J within the same second of seeing him.
B side plot is Zatanna casts a spell on Joker by saying "No one else will ever have your baby", backwards obviously, and the result is Joker "gives birth" the next morning to a sentient pile of mud that eventually forms into a likeness of his own.

So I guess Zatanna raped The Joker, right?
I don't really care what the explanation is, it's a dumbass story that shouldn't be told.
If that’s where “stories” are at, now - I think that tells you all you need to know…
Jfc that’s a terrible plot…
The rest of the author's works aren't very interesting either, so it's par for the course from Matthew Rosenberg.
