Batman: The Animated Series

Nothing to Fear - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: Batman got rid of the two goons through non-lethal falls, and he is about to face Scarecrow. Scarecrow has his escape planned; he has his right hand on a lever by the armrest...or in the next shot, on a lever above him. (00:18:05)

Be A Clown - S1-E11

Continuity mistake: The Mayor is giving an inauguration speech. Look at the crowd in the long shot. It cuts closer, and you can see that the man in cowboy hat that was in the crowd moved behind the mayor on stage. A journalist in red tailleur also switches to lilac. (00:01:20)

Be A Clown - S1-E11

Continuity mistake: The first time we see Jordan in his room, a huge monstrosity of a doll is propped against the door. This puppet reaches the knob of the door while in a sitting position. Then a few seconds later his dad enters the room, and the doll is at his ankles. (00:04:00)

Be A Clown - S1-E11

Continuity mistake: In the overhead shot of "Jekko" that pushes the cart with the cake, next to a waiter with a red towel there's a man in an orange shirt. Next shot and his shirt is blue. (00:07:55)

Sammo

Be A Clown - S1-E11

Continuity mistake: When Bruce Wayne plays clumsy and fends the crowd with his large package, the same people (like the elderly woman with the big hat) move out of his way multiple times in different shots. (00:09:05)

P.O.V. - S1-E13

Continuity mistake: Bullock's version of the story; he drops the gun, and he crawls over to grab it. The gun, as evidenced by the cone of light it is in, changes position on the floor between shots. (00:05:20)

Sammo

P.O.V. - S1-E13

Continuity mistake: The lieutenant is drinking a mug of coffee (or whatever) when he begins to listen to Bullock's story. The rest of the scene takes place inside the same room, but the mug just vanishes without a trace, it's not on the desk.

Sammo

The Last Laugh - S1-E15

Continuity mistake: The boat with the gas-emitting garbage goes past the bridge, and its odor approaches the bridge trailing behind, from the left of the screen. A few seconds later it also intoxicates the street workers, but the miasma approaches from the right. (00:02:00)

Sammo

Two-Face (1) - S1-E17

Continuity mistake: The pothole with the mud that Rupert Thorne's henchman kicks at Harvey Dent appears from nowhere. When the henchman is shown kicking the mud, the pothole is located between the police officer behind the henchman's right shoulder and Harvey's assistant Carlos on the henchman's left. However, in the previous shot, the ground shown between the police officer and Carlos contains no pothole. (00:04:35)
