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)

Nothing to Fear - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: Both Batman and Scarecrow's henchmen are reading the same newspaper, one with a "University Museum Benefit Tonight" headline. The same headline though has a different layout; the words "museum" and "benefit" have bigger spacing in Bruce's copy. (00:10:15)

Read My Lips - S1-E59

Continuity mistake: When Scarface's gang goes to steal the platinum from the ship and burn a hole in its hull, there is already a stack of platinum bars in their boat before they enter the ship.

Mad as a Hatter - S1-E24

Continuity mistake: When Jervis Tetch is shown he's around 5'5 maybe with blue eyes and sandy white looking hair. Yet the day after his night out with Alice he's suddenly around Bruce Wayne's size with blond hair and his eyes are no longer blue.

Two-Face (2) - S1-E18

Continuity mistake: When the chandelier falls on top of Rupert Thorne, the tommy gun he was holding falls into the bright half of Two-Face's hideout. Later when Two-Face grabs the gun, it is in the dark half of the hideout. (00:19:15 - 00:20:10)

Two-Face (1) - S1-E17

Continuity mistake: When Harvey Dent is walking away from the crime scene, Commissioner Gordon is on his right when next to the police van. Later when Rupert Thorne is watching the news report, Harvey is shown walking by the police van by himself. (00:05:40 - 00:07:00)

Heart of Ice - S1-E3

Other mistake: When Batman is watching the security footage of Victor Fries' accident, at first Fries is addressing the camera directly which follows him and pans according to his movements and Ferris Boyle interrupting him, which would suggest a second person was in the room with a handheld camera. But after Ferris Boyle enters the room and orders Fries' experiment terminated, there are several cuts from various angles in the room suggesting surveillance cameras. The surveillance style footage also often conveniently cuts to the face of whichever person happens to be speaking or will cut to a certain angle in order to put emphasis on the action, all of which would require multiple mounted cameras and purposeful editing by either Boyle or one of his subordinates, which would be completely illogical since they don't want anyone to see the footage in the first place. (00:12:20 - 00:13:55)
