Comments made in brackets are corrections from other visitors. As such, any aggressive/abusive corrections (and I get quite a few) written as if they're comments I've made myself will be ignored. To submit your own corrections for mistakes, just click the edit icon under an entry, then choose "correct entry". Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again. I occasionally leave these online for a while, just in case they were moved in error, so don't worry about pointing them out to me.

Entry When Batman shakes the CD of the Penguin, he gets an effect as if it was a vinyl record - not possible with CDs. [We all know it's not possible, but that was the point. . .it's called taking artistic license, or humor as some of us know it. . .]
Entry In the scene where Selina Kyle is taking the interview to Max Schreck, she drops her glasses. A few minutes later, when she puts on her glasses to look at the stun gun, we see they are broken. Later, right before Max Schrek pushes her out the window, her glasses are fine. [She probably has another pair of glasses to wear.]
Entry When Catwoman and Batman have their first fight, Catwoman stabs Batman with her "claws" in the middle of his stomach. But when Batman is in the Batcave and is pulling one of Catwoman's "claws" out, the stab marks are now to the right (his right) of his stomach. [She claws him in his right side. Besides, the claws wouldn't penetrate his stomach since it's covered with bulletproof armor.]
Entry When the ice-queen falls to her death, it's a straight fall. When Batman is shot by the police only seconds later he falls from the same spot, yet he falls onto a ledge and slides down, where catwoman is waiting for him. [Batman does not fall from the same ledge as the Ice princess does. If you look closely (when the Ice princess is being attacked by the bats) you can see behind her, the top of Town Square (I think) and to HER left, a building with almost every room lit. And when Batman falls down the ledge, you can see he is on the lodge with the building that has almost every room lit behind him.]
Entry So much for the Caped Crusader's legendary (and well-established) code against killing: during the fight scene with the Red Triangle Gang, Batman callously hands off a parcel of high explosives to one of the gang members - only for said criminal to be blown to smithereens a second or two later, with nary a flinch from Batman afterwards. [This isn't a plot hole. He killed someone in the first movie, as well. It's within the movie universe continuity that he kills, just not the comic book continuity.]
Entry What are penguins doing in the sewer of a big city anyway? Isn't it a bit warm for them? [Firstly, penguins live all over the Southern hemisphere, from tropical islands (Galapagos penguins) to Antartica (Emperor penguins). Secondly, penguins are very successfully kept in zoos and aquaria all over the world, so it does not seem unreasonable that they could survive in a sewer system of a big city, as long as there was plenty of water, a source of food and few predators. I assume in this movie we are meant to assume that they escaped from a zoo or other captivity.]
Entry In the scene where Selina comes back from the dead, she enters a room to start making her Catwoman costume. As she enters, she smashes the letters "O" and "T" on the neon "Hello There" sign so that it reads "Hell Here". Trouble is, neon signs are made from a continuous hollow glass tube filled with argon gas. If you break just one of those letters, the circuit is broken and the whole sign will go out. [One problem - the sign is actually smashed, and individual letters actually stay lit. While that was doubtless specially done for the film, it does prove that those signs can be constructed in such a way for the letters to be separate from each other].
