Batman: The Animated Series

It's Never Too Late - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: The henchmen spot Stromwell as he makes a run for it through the train yard. Before the chase begins, Thorne gets in frame in a close-up, and he has eyebrows matching the white of his hair instead of his usual black. (00:17:15)

It's Never Too Late - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: Batman throws a chair and shatters a window. You can see that there is basically no part of the frame nor glass left at the bottom, but when Stromwell looks outside and when Batman gets back in the office, part of it is still standing. (00:15:55)

It's Never Too Late - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: Thorne's henchman that stayed behind to check out the aftermath of the explosion is wearing a flower on the lapel of a white coat the first time we see him, and then a gray coat with no flower when he sneaks away to report to his boss. (00:10:15 - 00:11:20)

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)

Two-Face (1) - S1-E17

Trivia: Harvey Dent's demanding of a mirror to see his scarred visage at his doctor's reluctance is very similar to the Joker demanding a mirror from his surgeon in the 1989 "Batman" film. (00:20:30)
