Batwoman (2019)

Pilot - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Alice is talking to Jacob Kane with Sophie on the plank, she says "Can your little birdie fly?", holding the radio with all fingers straight and on the side of the device. Cut to "For if she moves an inch..." and her fingers are curled, with the pinkie at the bottom. (00:33:15)

Ranma ½ (1989)

Continuity mistake: In the room where Nora is stored, Barbara smashes with a pipe the bottle on the table. The liquid is spread to one side in the first shot, in a circle in the following. In the next shots, more inconsistencies appear (liquid appears to be leaking off the table, only to show later a half-circle nowhere near to any of the table edges). (00:34:45)

Continuity mistake: Barbara escapes traveling inside what is shown as a straight ventilation pipe, the closest intersection to her left being practically all the way to the back of the room with one to the right somewhere in between. Magically once Belson slips past the grate she has a left opening from a T juncture to escape into, right behind her. (00:33:25)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Barbara slips through the air conditioning conduit into the room next to her cell. Freeze uses his gun to cut her escape path. We see that the icy spikes are past the vent, since Belson opens a grid right before them, but when Barbara kicks the stalagmites loose, Belson pops up behind (or from) them. (00:33:30)

Continuity mistake: During the fundraiser, glasses of relevant guests (the woman in the red dress when she is introduced to Bruce, the stock broker when he is dragged away) disappear conveniently off-camera. It's quite a stretch to assume they found a waiter or a place to place the glass when they were not in frame (especially in the group of three women in front of the doors).

Continuity mistake: Cross found out that the picture missing is Charles Lindbergh's (like the blackboard says). He says then "Our Mr. Soneji has a sense of humor." The IT agent by him has her arms folded, hands visible at the elbows. Close-up on Morgan Freeman, and her hands are not on display anymore. (00:35:50)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Alex Cross is in front of a computer screen, checking out images of the class to spot the missing picture. From behind, Morgan Freeman is in pose with his finger on his temple, then lowers his hand and turns around. In the next shot, he's still holding his hand high as he is turning. (00:34:50)

The Mysterious Affair at Styles - S3-E1

Continuity mistake: The coroner asks Mary to tell everyone about the quarrel. Frontal shot of Mr. Wells; he is pointing his hand with the spectacles at a certain height. Reverse shot; the hand is lower, resting on the other hand, and only then he raises it to the same level as it was in the other shot. (00:53:40)

Continuity mistake: Batgirl roundhouse kicks one guy in the park. In the background, the victim has her left arm down, but it's up in the following shot. In that shot her walkman is also missing the cable linking the headset to it (it is there when Batgirl helps her stand later, same camera distance). (00:12:35)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: The movie gets a lot of details right when it shows the establishing shot of the exterior of the fundraiser event Bruce Wayne goes to after the initial action; perfect continuity with the car models and people in the crowd ascending the stairs. But somehow, it has three people standing in front of the teal car, instead of 'just' two. (00:11:40)

Batman: Hush (2019)

Continuity mistake: In the factory, Batman lies down the corpse horizontally/across the ramp he's walking on, but when he runs off, the body is turned 90°. It's already baffling that he took the time to deal with it at all, even more unlikely that he'd drag it on the floor looking for the best Feng Shui arrangement for it in the hostile environment. (01:10:10)

Batman: Hush (2019)

Continuity mistake: Batman pulls from his back pocket the microphone/mind control thingy that Hush was using, and holds it in his fist. In the first shot though it's drawn upside down and the cables are sticking out from the bottom of Batman's fist. In the subsequent shots Batman is holding the device in the same raised fist by those cables. (01:07:40)

Batman: Hush (2019)

Continuity mistake: When Batman and Jim Gordon are smashed through the wall of the interrogation room (which is directly in front of the cells for some reason), Batman is holding Gordon close and drops him during his landing, but in the full view of the corridor Gordon is at a right angle with Batman and distant, as if Batman launches him aside, which he did not (nor it would be physically possible). (01:05:50)

Batman: Hush (2019)

Continuity mistake: After the montage with Batman and Catwoman partnering up to defeat Penguin and other villains, there's a view of the Batcave where you can make out of the shower and some clothes on the ground. It's easy to see the yellow bat-belt. But that belt is in front of the stairs when Alfred arrives, and when the shower is seen, there are other things in front, like Batman's full cape. (00:55:55)

Batman: Hush (2019)

Continuity mistake: After apprehending Riddler, Batman crashes the window of the building where Hush appeared. By the window is half a mannequin, with a big shard of glass leaning against its pedestal. The glass quickly disappears (as most pieces of glass change place between shots) and the mannequin a couple of shots later ("We already have" line) is a full figure one. (00:49:40)

Batman: Hush (2019)

Continuity mistake: With one of the first punches, Batman sends Joker gut-first into some crates, who end up knocking down a trash can in domino effect. The lid flies off, but in the next shot, the can is on the ground with what appears to be the lid still on. There is actually a lid on the ground a meter away though, so the lid doubled or they drew a huge upper rim to the can that was not there earlier. (00:41:25)

Batman: Hush (2019)

Continuity mistake: Bane drops from the ceiling of the abandoned greenhouse and begins advancing towards Catwoman. In the side view you can see that the metal boxes (air conditioners or something like that) are quite distant from him and he walked past, but 2 shots later he comfortably reaches them with his arm without moving and rips one off throwing it at Selina. (00:20:40)
