Mistake Continuity: Just before Batman takes his mask off at the end, the black makeup around his eyes vanishes while the mask is still on.

Mistake Continuity: In Schreck's department store, when Catwoman is doing her cartwheels, her heels collapse.

Mistake Revealing: In one scene, the Penguin is making a "bat" shadow puppet on the ceiling. But there's no light behind his hands. If there's no light, there's no shadow.

Mistake Revealing: When the penguin goes into the cemetery, he bumps a tombstone and it moves. [Almost certainly a tribute to legendarily poor director Ed Wood, who Tim Burton later directed a biopic of - this exact thing happened in one of his films.]

Mistake Continuity: In Batman's first battle with the Red Triangle Circus gang he manages to escape from a fire eater by turning his batmobile around and burning the guy with the rear exhaust jet. He does this by flicking a switch (outlined in caution symbols) next to the steering wheel. When the Penguin takes Batman for a ride there is a television screen where the switch is supposed to be. When Batman blows the Batmobile apart to get though a narrow alley the switch is back in place. Not only that but the switch seems to control just about every major system on the car including the lights, shield cover, gun turrets (in the first movie), canopy etc.

Mistake Continuity: When Selina returns home from work she takes milk out of the fridge and pours her cat some, leaving the carton on the worktop. She then runs to work, and when she returns after being changed to 'catwoman', the milk has vanished from the worktop.

Mistake Continuity: When the Penguin bites the guy on the nose, while he is talking to Max Shreck afterward the blood on his face is there, then it disappears, then it's there again.

Mistake Continuity: When Selina puts her soft toys into the sink, and begins to push them down into the shredder hole, between shots the positions of the teddies in the sink differ.

Mistake Revealing: When The Penguin shoots the clown who says "Killing sleeping children...", as the clown falls back to the floor, you can clearly see he falls on a wrinkled, soft mat which has unsuccessfully tried to be disguised.

Mistake Continuity: When the Penguin is looking out of the barred sewer hole, from an inside shot we see the penguin holding two bars, and in between the bars he is holding are two bars. In the next shot, there are four bars in between.

Mistake Revealing: When the penguin drives the Batmobile remotely, the cars it smashes are damaged just before it hits them.

Mistake Continuity: Catwoman's lipstick smears down onto her chin when she puts The Penguin's bird in her mouth, yet in the shot just before she gives herself a "bath", the lipstick momentarily is gone.

Mistake Continuity: When Selina retrieves her papers from the floor, she places them in a disorderly pile beside the clown. In the shot when she zaps the clown with the taser, the papers have changed position and are stacked neat.

Mistake Continuity: When Selina becomes enraged and trashes her apartment, she grabs a frying pan off of the oven hob, which was not there previously, when she entered her apartment.

Mistake Other: When the Penguin is talking on the staircase to his audience of voters, he gives a badge to one young woman. As he lifts it up it is clearly a pin-on design button, however the Penguin leans forward as presses the badge against her blouse as if it were a stick-on design. The badge then stays on the blouse and doesn’t fall.

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: When the large present drives out into the middle of the Christmas procession, as the lid of the gift springs up, a long white wire can be see attached to the lid, which wasn’t there beforehand.

Mistake Continuity: The crib changes buoyancy throughout the opening credits; for example in one shot the crib slides down a chute and sinks very low in the water. In the next shot the crib is out much higher.

Mistake Continuity: The rubble and debris from the piece of wall which Batman tore from the wall, which lies beside the clown, differs between shots, and so does the clowns position.

Mistake Continuity: When the Penguin picks up the ointment bottles, he throws them up and they land on the bed and pillows. These bottles and Catwoman's whip, which lays on the center of the bed, keep changing position.

Mistake Continuity: Catwoman looks at the Penguins enemy list, and it is left with the top page flipped up, but when Catwoman puts the bird in her mouth, the page is back to normal.
