Updated today Factual error: When Harvey is set on fire, he put his hand directly into the fire for about 3 seconds, but both his hand and sleeve are unaffected (no burns - even minor ones).

Updated this week Continuity: During the chase on Lower Fifth, the refuse truck's left headlamp is alternately present and lit, or completely missing (not just unlit).

Updated this week Continuity: When the Batmobile is hit by an RPG, the rear end is hurled upward. During this first view of the lift, we see the right front tire of the car come completely off just before the scene cuts to another angle. For the rest of the crash and until the 'pod' ejects, both front wheels are seen still attached.

Updated recently Continuity: When Joker puts the smoke bomb inside the bank manager's mouth, watch a green sign behind lying on the floor, with a tree painted on it. It has a stick on top which moves around between shots with no one touching it.

Updated recently Continuity: In the scene where Joker is visiting Harvey in the hospital, there is a shot of Harvey's face just before Joker takes his hand, and there is a tear on Harvey's cheek. However, in the next shot of Harvey's face, the tear is gone, and there is no trail where the tear would have fallen, and Harvey's hands don't go to his face.

Updated recently Continuity: When Rachel and the Joker are talking up close in the scene where the Joker crashes Bruce's party, as the camera switches back and forth between Rachel and the Joker a small dark blemish (maybe food) disappears and reappears in his cheek.

Updated recently Continuity: When Dent dies, his right arm's position keeps changing between shots.

Updated recently Revealing: In the hospital scene, while the Joker is holding the gun up right after he shot the police officer, look very closely under his arm. You can see Harvey's face. The left half isn't burnt at all, even though he's in the hospital because half his face was burnt off.

Updated recently Continuity: While interrogating Joker, Batman holds him against the wall. Joker's hairstyle keeps swapping between two different styles, depending on the camera angle.

Updated recently Continuity: In the scene where Eric Roberts gets in the car with Two-Face, the car seems to go from being parked to going full-speed in a split-second. As he's getting in the car, Roberts is talking to his driver, and just as he sits down, he sees Two-Face, and the background appears to be moving by very quickly behind him. The car wouldn't have had time to even pull away from the curb yet.

Updated recently Continuity: When Batman is stitching his arm and talking to the butler, his eyebrow has a funny hair sticking up, near the nose. Half a second later, the eyebrow appears perfectly brushed, without him having touched it.

Updated recently Continuity: During the interrogation scene, when Gordon first enters, as he begins to close the door if you look in the glass reflection on Gordon's left (screen right), you can see the door open again slightly after he shuts it. In the next shot, its completely shut and locked.

Updated recently Continuity: As Harvey Dent is tied up in the warehouse with the explosive barrels talking to Rachel, if you look in the lower right hand corner of the screen, a green blanket on the floor moves up slightly as Harvey tries to get out of his restraints. It's too far away for Harvey to touch.

Updated recently Continuity: In the parking lot, when Batman jumps on top of a car, Scarecrow's hair keeps swapping styles depending on the camera angle that focuses on him.

Updated recently Continuity: In the opening shot, there is a long shadow over the roof of the bank building as the camera zooms over and towards the windows in the far building. In the next shots, the shadow is gone as the robbers glide across and land on the roof.

Mistake Continuity: In the chasing scene where the Peterbilt truck hits a swat van, the truck's right front light is damaged. In the next scene, the light seems to be undamaged and then, damaged again.

Mistake Audio problem: In the opening heist sequence a clown grabs a bald bank teller and the teller says "Please no no!" while being thrown over the counter, however, his voice doesn't match his facial expression. His voice is loud and terrified in fear and yet his lips and face expression barely react.

Mistake Continuity: During the interrogation scene, when Batman beats up Joker, Joker's hands are holding Batman's forearms upside down (from underneath). When the frame changes his hands are now on top of Batman's forearms, then it cuts back and his hands are under again.

Mistake Continuity: The Joker fires a bazooka at the batmobile, sending it crashing end over end. In the final tumble, as it loses the last of its momentum, it's rolling to rest on its roof. The camera angle then changes and it's suddenly regained momentum, rolling again so it lands on its wheels.

Mistake Continuity: When Bruce gets on his motor bike on the way to the apartment, overlooking the governor's speech, his hair is all greased back. But when he gets off the bike and takes his helmet off, his hair is fuller and not as greasy. When they cut to him inside the apartment, his hair is once again greased back like it was before he got on the bike.
