Joker (2019)

Trivia: Carrie Fisher's appearance is made up of unused scenes from The Force Awakens, with the writers and editors coming up with clever ways to re-purpose them. Clearly with some CGI assistance at times.

Supergirl (2015)

Event Horizon - S5-E1

Lena Luthor: I'm not a villain. I don't wanna kill Supergirl; I just want her to experience the same hurt she inflicted on me. And soon enough, she will.

Supergirl (2015)

Event Horizon - S5-E1

Stupidity: Kara's glasses are a logistically impractical place for Brainy to put the motion sensor that materializes and de-materializes her new super suit, since she only wears them as part of her civilian disguise. As a 12th-level intellect, surely Brainy could invent a more pragmatic means of allowing her to change from superhero to civilian.

Smallville (2001)

Infamous - S8-E15

Character mistake: When Davis sees Lois' article about Clark, the second column contains a grammatical error; in her description of his upbringing with Jonathan and Martha, the possessive "Kent's" should be the plural "Kents."

Minority Report (2002)

Plot hole: Burgess frames Anderton for Witwer's murder, using Anderton's gun in Anderton's house, but Anderton has an airtight alibi; at the same time as the murder, he was arriving at his ex-wife's home. His ex is even on the phone with Burgess, who asks if that's John arriving with Agatha.

Suggested correction: This is all a matter of trust and knowledge. At this point the precogs aren't available so they don't know who killed Witwer, the word of Burgess is enough for the precrime team to believe it was Anderton, especially considering everything that was going on. All the precrime team wants is get Anderton and put the halo on him. There is no trial, no interrogation of witnesses. The team simply don't see Anderton can't have killed Witwer and they don't care as they no longer act as real cops anymore (only Witwer did). They might find out later, but Anderton's escape changed that possibility anyway. It's not a plot hole that things went as they went.

David Rossi: I 'd hoped you'd let me take the children.
Benjamin Cyrus: Nah, they're our protection. I remember Waco. We all do.
David Rossi: This isn't Waco.
Benjamin Cyrus: They stay for now, while I pray for God's guidance. Please don't try to force us out.

Edmond Dantes: Death is too good for them. They must suffer as I suffered. They must see their world, all they hold dear, ripped from them as it was ripped from me.
Jacopo: You will need a better name than Zatarra if you are to accomplish that.
Edmond Dantes: Then I shall become a Count.

Trivia: When Oliver and Barry breach to Earth-38, the transition music is Remy Zero's "Save Me", famous for its use as the theme song to Smallville. Other homages include the same barn used for the Kent farm and Lois calling Clark "Smallville."
