Continuity mistake: Flash uses a speed boost of energy in his arm to fling the gray adhesive substance at Reverse Flash, slamming him into a glass display case and trapping him to it. The glass of the case breaks and cracks and the cracks around Reverse Flash's head are quite large. But after Batman makes his entrance and grabs Citizen Cold, that shot shows the cracks a lot smaller and shorter. They are back the way they were in following shots. (00:06:55)

Continuity mistake: Reverse Flash places a bomb on the gray adhesive substance that he has trapped Flash in next to Flash's head. From the side angle in that shot, it shows it right above his shoulder. But a couple shots later when Flash begins vibrating his arm at super speeds, the bomb is suddenly much further to the right, away from his head. (00:06:15)

Continuity mistake: Flash throws the explosive tops back at The Top who is standing on top of the headless statue. The arms of the statue are in a heroic pose with fists at his hips. The wrists are not bent. When the tops explode, the statue's right arm falls off. Moments later, Flash runs by this arm. The arm is now a left arm, as you can tell by the position of the hand to elbow and the thumb's placement, and suddenly the wrist is bent in a muscle flexing pose. (00:03:50)

Continuity mistake: When Flash zooms into the Flash Museum, he circles around a statue of himself and stops back in front of it. The statue's decapitated head is shown approximately 6 to 9 feet away from him, and there is only a little bit of debris around his feet. The shot cuts to some explosive tops landing at his feet and suddenly he is much closer to the statue's head, being now about 2 or 3 feet away from it, and there is much more debris around his feet.

One shot shows his feet next to the road for several seconds with him not passing buy anything. The next shot is him running away from the camera, followed by a close up of his face as he runs. During this time, he never passes a vehicle or anything but open road to his left.

Continuity mistake: When Barry is looking at the gun case in the Batcave, a cork board is visible in the background covered in raggedy playing cards. The one to the left of the center Joker card has blood on it, a lot of it around the bottom right corner of it. Later when Batman looks at the cards, the blood on that card is significantly less. There is also a card to the right of the Joker card that is torn with no blood on it. But in the close up when Batman is looking at it, that card now has a large blood spot in the center. The card symbols on the cards are also closer together, the cards above the Joker are significantly less damaged, and change from suit of hearts to a different suit. The entire board seems different. A few shots later, the cards above the Joker card are back to hearts again. (00:20:45 - 00:25:30)
