Revealing mistake: When the reporter dies on air, her face is contorted into the Joker's face. When the camera is in closeup on her face, the "dead" woman's bottom lip moves.

Movie Nut

Revealing mistake: In the film's ending shot, the sky can be seen to flutter as the camera pans up, revealing a backdrop.

Audio problem: Bruce watches Commissioner Gordon on tape at his party. In the first part, the audio is laid wrong and their mouths don't match.

Continuity mistake: The clown balloon was swelling with the Smilex gas, but when Batman steals it and flies it and the other balloons away, it's back to normal shape.

Suggested correction: The balloons were not filled with Smilex gas. The Smilex was in canisters that are visible underneath the balloons. The balloons themselves could have expended and contracted due to varying air pressure.

Yes the canisters were on the underside. But if you look closely, when activated, the balloon began to swell, and holes appeared, releasing the gas.

Movie Nut

Continuity mistake: When Knox and Vicki talk about Corto Maltese, she puts her left hand by her neck. Shot changes, and now both hands are on her neck. (00:13:51)

Sacha

Factual error: It would take even a very strong acid a lot longer than a few seconds to eat through the thick metal bolts holding up the bell. (01:44:00)

Question: Given how narrow that ledge is, just how could the Joker grab hold of it and silently pull himself onto it prior to yanking Batman and Vicki Vale over the side?

Answer: Most likely, in real life, this would be impossible. Movies take liberties with facts and realities in order to tell the story.
