I find odd that Batman AK is in the top 25, you'd think the refunds alone would take the game out of the best selling list.

Steamspy can't take refunds into account. It's just a crawler that goes through public profiles and then extrapolates. I doubt they're checking the accounts twice.

You see games rise and then decrease after free weekends though.

Maybe that's part of the extrapolation algorithm. I heard they have only a very limited capacity of the crawler and I don't think they would waste it on rechecking profiles. Though maybe they do recheck some times. Refunds and free weekends are poison to the algorithm and I think they're trying to adjust it as good as possible.
