Hi Diddle Riddle (1) - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: In the cliffhanger, Riddler is putting a vice around Robin's head and cranks it; in the close-ups he turns the mechanism between his fingers, while in the shot from behind Robin's head he is turning a little handle. The height the vice is placed at is also different. (00:24:20)

Hi Diddle Riddle (1) - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: The Moldavian host calls attention on the national treasure before the cake is brought. In the wide shot, just before the cut you can spot the man in white uniform turning his head to his right. In the next shot he is turning towards his left. (00:01:05)

Hi Diddle Riddle (1) - S1-E1

Revealing mistake: Riddler laughing maniacally after handing Batman the lawsuit turns around and leaves, not before tipping a vase over. There is a crashing noise as if the vase shattered, but the vase is tumbling in a full 360°, undamaged. (00:11:50)

Smack in the Middle (2) - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: Elephant-man Riddler is the one man left standing in the room. The problem is, he is standing with one hand on his hip, which becomes a totally different pose at the cut, with the arm chest-high and his finger pointing down. (00:19:55)

Hi Diddle Riddle (1) - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: The cake exploded and the ambassador is on the floor, his back to the tent. In the wide angle shots and in the close-up, the position is quite different; just look at the golden filigree draped over the tent. (00:01:30)

Smack in the Middle (2) - S1-E2

Factual error: Nitrous oxide is not flammable. Not to mention, if it were, Riddler would have risked blowing everything up when he shot the gun in the room saturated with it just to give his henchmen the signal.

Sammo

Commissioner Gordon: Great day in the morning.

Trivia: Originally, Batman villain Two-Face was going to appear in this show and was going to be portrayed by Clint Eastwood. Two-Face's backstory wouldn't have him as an attorney who had acid thrown in his face but instead have him as a news anchor who would have a stage light exploding resulting in his injuries and his transformation into a criminal.

More trivia for Batman

Answer: There were three well-known actors who played Mr. Freeze, each one a different height, weight, and physique. As these were notable guest stars, the costume designers would adapt the costume to best fit each actor who likely would want to avoid comparisons to the other Mr. Freezes, incorporate their preferences, as well as refresh the look, rework whatever didn't work in previous versions, and so on.
