Continuity mistake: In the scene where Joker smashes a mirror on the surgical instrument table, a large fragment breaks off and hits the floor. That fragment somehow appears on the tabletop seconds later. (00:35:10)

Batman (1989)

Revealing mistake: After the Batmobile's pair of machine guns riddles a straight line of bullet holes through a bay door of Axis Chemicals, it drives in and eventually goes on to blow up the plant. It might seem like the bullet holes themselves would weaken the bay door enough for the Batmobile to push through. But instead - as the bay door falls to the ground - notice how a ready-made seam splits apart directly above the line of bullet holes. (01:34:15)

Batman (1989)

Continuity mistake: During the Batmobile car chase scene, Batman bangs a left from the side street near Monarch Theatre, leading Joker's henchmen and several patrol cars on a straight path for a few seconds. But right before the car pileup in front of Monarch Theatre, Batman is seen turning left onto the very same side street he came from to begin with. (01:08:00)

Batman (1989)

Continuity mistake: At the beginning when both muggers are about to be jumped by Batman, one of them lights a cigarette and reassures his buddy that there's nothing to be afraid of. But while he's talking, the load of cash in his right hand vanishes between shots. (00:05:25)

Batman (1989)

Continuity mistake: After rescuing Vicki from the museum, Batman leads Joker's henchmen on a downtown chase with the Batmobile. One car on his tail causes a major pileup at the intersection near Monarch Theatre. A short time later when the unmanned Batmobile is making its way down the street, it passes right through that very same intersection. This time, however, there are no indications that a pileup ever took place just moments before. All mangled vehicles and debris have disappeared. (01:08:20 - 01:12:00)

Batman (1989)

Continuity mistake: At one point during the car chase through downtown Gotham City, the Batmobile maneuvers a sharp turn with the aid of a cable that launches from the driver's side and hooks onto a steel beam structure nearby. But as the Batmobile starts cornering, notice how the cable appears fastened in a different manner. Between shots, it has tied itself completely around the beam instead. (01:08:15)

Continuity mistake: Towards the end of the gunfire exchange scene at Axis Chemicals - from the point at which Joker was pondering an escape on the catwalk until Batman turns around to see the shadow of a police officer closing in on him - notice how the exit bears an altogether different appearance between views. (00:27:35 - 00:29:40)

Batman (1989)

Continuity mistake: When Knox walks into Gotham Globe and gets mocked about his recent Batman article, a co-worker hands him a funny Batman drawing just to rub it in. But watch as a coffee cup on the worker's desk turns itself completely around between shots. (00:13:10)
