Trivia

Harvey Dent, who would later become Two Face, was originally going to be in this film instead of Max Schreck. The plan was to have Catwoman turn him into Two Face the same way she ended up killing Schreck, except of course Dent obviously would've survived and become Two Face. See more...

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.

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.

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.]

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.

Revealing: When Batman glides off the rooftop we catch a glimpse of his face as he flies over Gotham. It isn't Michael Keaton, it's a rather crude looking dummy.

Revealing: When The Penguin sends his penguin army out into Gotham City, the ripples/waves in the water don't match the position of some of the penguins as they swim towards the exit.

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.

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.

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.

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.
