The Joker's Hard Times (2) - S2-E38

Revealing mistake: When Joker pays another visit to Commissioner Gordon and Chief O'Hara, Joker's holding his wand, and in the shots from outside the GCPD office window we can see the wire cable dragging behind Joker, which is attached to the wand and providing its power. During these shots, the actors' small white tape markers are also visible on the rug, beside the Batphone table. (00:03:00)

Marsha, Queen of Diamonds (1) - S2-E23

Continuity mistake: After Batman has been hit by Marsha's love dart, when Robin pulls the dart out and then begs Batman to resist it, in these semi closeups note Burt Ward's uncovered forearm with his still-healing burn wound. Then, while the Dynamic Duo fight Marsha's sabre wielding goons, Marsha hits Robin with another one of her darts and orders him to attack Batman. When this happens, Burt Ward's forearm now has a compression bandage around the wound. (00:13:55)

The Zodiac Crimes (1) - S2-E37

Visible crew/equipment: After Joker has stolen the map from Commissioner Gordon's office, he rushes to the window and calls for Venus, then just as Joker places his foot onto the lowest ladder rung, we can see a crew member's hand holding the same rung near Joker's foot, at the bottom of the screen.

The Penguin Declines (3) - S2-E39

Visible crew/equipment: When Batman and Robin bring Venus to the Batcave, just as she says, "It's fabulous," the reflection of the moving boom pole/mic is visible on one of the Bat-computer screens, at the bottom right corner of the screen. As this shot continues, when Robin points out their Bat-radar, a chalk T-mark is visible on the floor near Batman's foot. Then, when Penguin, Joker, and the goons appear, more chalk T-marks are visible on their side of the floor. (00:17:10)

Penguin Is a Girl's Best Friend (1) - S2-E42

Visible crew/equipment: While Batman and Robin are at the studio, Harriet and the others from the Gotham City League of Film Decency confront Penguin about scene 12. When Harriet says, "This scene is bursting with other things as well," there's a shot facing Marsha with two other women, and we can see a curved chalk mark at Marsha's feet and a chalk T-mark at the other woman's feet. (00:13:20)

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.
