Batman: The Animated Series

I've Got Batman in My Basement - S1-E20

Continuity mistake: Batman looks at the vulture after outwrestling it, and then, sprints to get his 'rang back. When he looks out he's got a cut on the suit, on the left, but when he fetches the weapon the torn part is gone. Cut away, and now the tear is back and doubled over to the other side. (00:02:55)

It's Never Too Late - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: The henchmen spot Stromwell as he makes a run for it through the train yard. Before the chase begins, Thorne gets in frame in a close-up, and he has eyebrows matching the white of his hair instead of his usual black. (00:17:15)

It's Never Too Late - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: Batman throws a chair and shatters a window. You can see that there is basically no part of the frame nor glass left at the bottom, but when Stromwell looks outside and when Batman gets back in the office, part of it is still standing. (00:15:55)

Sammo

Two-Face (1) - S1-E17

Continuity mistake: Harvey Dent's mud stain is different when he looks in disbelief after Thorne's goon says he'll chew and spit him. He's got a stain on his lapel that was never there before and is gone later. (00:04:55)

Sammo

Be A Clown - S1-E11

Continuity mistake: The Mayor is giving an inauguration speech. Look at the crowd in the long shot. It cuts closer, and you can see that the man in cowboy hat that was in the crowd moved behind the mayor on stage. A journalist in red tailleur also switches to lilac. (00:01:20)

Sammo

P.O.V. - S1-E13

Continuity mistake: The lieutenant is drinking a mug of coffee (or whatever) when he begins to listen to Bullock's story. The rest of the scene takes place inside the same room, but the mug just vanishes without a trace, it's not on the desk.

Sammo

The Underdwellers - S1-E27

Continuity mistake: Alfred is skilfully dancing while sitting and sipping tea. The radio rests next to a circular monitor on the computer. Then on a featureless spot, then directly on the monitor itself. (00:04:05)

Sammo

Pretty Poison - S1-E9

Continuity mistake: Harvey Dent is brought inside the hospital on the stretcher fully dressed in his business suit. Which is pristine clean, despite the face he just facemoussed and got chocolate splatters all over himself. (00:08:40)

Sammo

The Last Laugh - S1-E15

Continuity mistake: Captain Clown gets pressed into a block of scrap metal. The ascot faces the front side (the one facing the direction the conveyor belt carries it to) in the first shot, then Joker dumps more junk on Batman and goes away sitting on the block; the ascot is facing now the back. (00:17:15)

The Last Laugh - S1-E15

Continuity mistake: The boat with the gas-emitting garbage goes past the bridge, and its odor approaches the bridge trailing behind, from the left of the screen. A few seconds later it also intoxicates the street workers, but the miasma approaches from the right. (00:02:00)

Sammo

Two-Face (1) - S1-E17

Continuity mistake: The pothole with the mud that Rupert Thorne's henchman kicks at Harvey Dent appears from nowhere. When the henchman is shown kicking the mud, the pothole is located between the police officer behind the henchman's right shoulder and Harvey's assistant Carlos on the henchman's left. However, in the previous shot, the ground shown between the police officer and Carlos contains no pothole. (00:04:35)

Two-Face (1) - S1-E17

Trivia: Harvey Dent's demanding of a mirror to see his scarred visage at his doctor's reluctance is very similar to the Joker demanding a mirror from his surgeon in the 1989 "Batman" film. (00:20:30)
