Mistake Continuity: When Bruce is thrown off the truck when released from prison, you can see his bag in the background as he rolls at least 5 feet away to his right. When the angle changes and he's getting up, the bag is right in front of him, if not slightly to his left.

Mistake Continuity: When Batman is chased by the cops while he is trying to save Rachel, he reaches the roof of a parking lot and stops. A cop orders him to switch off the engine of his vehicle and get out. Later when Batman is chased inside a tunnel, we see a cop asking on his radio what the Batmobile looks like. The Batmobile then zooms past him and he says "never mind". The only problem is that it's the same cop both times, so he knew full well what the Batmobile looks like when it stopped in front of him initially. Probably caused by the order of those sequences being switched in editing, but still a mistake.

Mistake Revealing: Near the end of the scene, when Bruce and Fox are in the tumbler Fox says "We never could get the damn bridge to work, but this baby works just fine" then Bruce turns the wheel to the left but the tumbler turns right.

Mistake Revealing: When Batman is being chased by the cops in the Batmobile and the Batmobile crashes into the concrete wall, on the right side of your screen at the top you can see the cop car run into the wall. You can see that the wall is made out of a rubber substance.

Mistake Revealing: During the chase involving the batmobile and the cop cars, Batman goes onto the highway, and in most shots we can see the tire marks of the batmobile from previous takes.

Mistake Continuity: Almost at the end when Bruce and Rachel are talking where Wayne Manor used to stand, she puts her hand on his cheek/jaw/ear area. The position of her hand changes between shots, from having his ear between her fingers to having her fingers below his ear and so on.

Mistake Continuity: Near the end of the movie, when Bruce and Rachel are talking when the mansion has burned down, there's something black in Bruce eye, in the first shot. In the next shot, that thing has disappeared.

Mistake Revealing: When Bruce is told to execute the man in the ninja temple, watch the blade closely as he raises it up - the edge is ground down flat for the safety of the actors, he wouldn't be able to cut butter with that sword.

Mistake Revealing: When Bruce Wayne is heading to the hearing at the courthouse, he checks his revolver to make sure it's loaded. His intent is to execute Joe Chill for killing his parents, so he would need a working gun. But when he opens the cylinder of the revolver to make sure it's loaded, you can see that all of the bullets have had the primer removed (the end of each bullet casing has a hole in it.) This is done to make each round impossible to fire, for safety on the set.

Mistake Continuity: When Batman uses his boomerang to break three of the lights and it shows the guys in fear, there is still a lot of light reflecting off of the guy's head.
