When Vicki grabs the device off Batman's belt to be pulled up to the catwalk, she is barefoot, but when she climbs over the railing, she has white shoes on. [Vicki isn't wearing shoes when she's climbing the rail. If you zoom in you can see that she's still barefoot. The white on her feet is the light reflecting off of her foot.]

When the gangsters come out of the courthouse and Joker throws a feather into one of their necks, there are two policemen standing on the steps behind the dead man. Despite the fact that the crowd reacts to this blatant public assassination the two coppers do absolutely nothing. They don't attempt to apprehend the Joker or hold back the crowd. They don't even look surprised. They just stand there. I know Gotham's cops are ineffectual but come on. [The two police officers are not really officers because they work for the Joker. They are actually two of the Joker's goons pretending to be officers.]
Edit
When Batman is in his plane and stealing the Joker's balloons, he flicks 3 switches to close the claw around the cables. If you look closely, you can see that the red light next to these switches is labelled "volume" - not really anything to do with the claw; and more to do with his stereo. [The red light has no labeling anywhere near it that says 'Volume', nor do any of the switches that he hits.]

Right at the start of the film when the family are being mugged, you see the crook knock the father out with his gun but when he hits the man, he drops the gun and his hand goes out of shot. When he lifts his hand up to point it at the women the gun is back in his hand. This is much easier to see if you watch it in slow motion. [The mugger never does drop the gun, he just awkwardly handles it on its way off screen, and he just pulls his arm up from behind his coat to threaten the mother.]

When Jack shoots at Batman in the factory, Batman deflects it into a glass gauge, which shatters into Jack's face cutting it down the entire side. But when Jack shows up to kill his boss, there's no damage of any sort to his face. [Several days pass between these two events, during which Jack undergoes extensive facial surgery. And there is damage to his face - the permanent smile.]
Edit
When Batman drops the small grenade in Axis Chemicals to blow up the building, the first place that explodes is about halfway up the length of the building. [Since we see the explosion from the outside this can't really classified as a mistake. There could have been a lot of explosive material at that part of the building. As we have seen earlier in the film, there are no separate floors in the building, just catwalks & such, so this is quite possible.]
Edit
A miniature of the Batwing and the city were used to shoot the wide shots of the Batwing flying through the city. [We don't have the technology to build a full size, real life Batwing and fly it through a real life Gotham city. I doubt the movie would have the budget either. Not really trivia - how else were they supposed to make it?]
Edit
In the scene when Vicki is running up the stairs in the bell tower, at the beginning she has white high heels on. In a later shot, a distance up the stairs, she has flats on, then in the shots at the top of the bell tower, she has her high heels back on. [Vicki and the Joker pause at a landing where Vicki falls and loses a shoe. Joker kisses the shoe and throws it over the railing. When they reach the top of the bell tower, Vicki is in stocking feet for the rest of the sequence, not flats or heels.]
Edit
During Bruce & Vickie's first date, dinner at Wayne Manor, Bruce asks her if she had a hard time finding the house. Vickie had been at a party there a few evenings before with Knox and, in fact, had met Bruce for the first time that evening. Why would he ask her this as though she'd never been there before? [He was trying to break the ice, maybe even trying to be funny in a way. It's not really a mistake, just awkward conversation.]
Edit
Joker arranged a fake date with Vicky pretending to be Bruce but he isn't supposed to know about Bruce going out with Vicky until later in the film. [There's a previous scene where Bob the goon shows Vicky's photos to the Joker and tells him "She's dating with a guy named Wayne" or something like that. After that comes the thing about the fake date.]
Edit
Near the end of the film, where Vicky and Alfred are talking by the car, you can clearly see the boom mike (it's orange) in the top of the screen, and it stays there throughout the whole scene. [Apparently not - it's an orange flag hanging off a building]
