Batman: The Animated Series

Batgirl Returns - S3-E8

Continuity mistake: Batgirl and Catwoman are depicted without pupils, but in one shot during the fight at the Stacked Deck, they briefly gain pupils when Batgirl says "I think it's closing time."

Batgirl Returns - S3-E8

Continuity mistake: Batgirl and Catwoman briefly gain pupils in one shot of them during the Stacked Deck fight, despite not having any throughout the episode. (04:00:39 - 04:41:24)

Riddler's Reform - S3-E3

Continuity mistake: When Riddler burns his costume, he's wearing his purple gloves, but after throwing his green jacket into the fireplace, his gloves disappear entirely. (04:25:03 - 04:29:59)

Heart of Ice - S1-E3

Other mistake: When Batman is watching the security footage of Victor Fries' accident, at first Fries is addressing the camera directly which follows him and pans according to his movements and Ferris Boyle interrupting him, which would suggest a second person was in the room with a handheld camera. But after Ferris Boyle enters the room and orders Fries' experiment terminated, there are several cuts from various angles in the room suggesting surveillance cameras. The surveillance style footage also often conveniently cuts to the face of whichever person happens to be speaking or will cut to a certain angle in order to put emphasis on the action, all of which would require multiple mounted cameras and purposeful editing by either Boyle or one of his subordinates, which would be completely illogical since they don't want anyone to see the footage in the first place. (00:12:20 - 00:13:55)

Trivia: The series was animated on darker (typically black) paper as opposed to standard white paper. This helped aid in the show's aesthetic, and also helped save time when animating nighttime sequences, since they wouldn't have to paint the entire background black.
