Batman: The Animated Series

I've Got Batman in My Basement - S1-E20

Continuity mistake: The size of the egg the Penguin's guys steal changes throughout the opening. It's twice as big as the ginger's hands when he holds it, but passed through a small triangular (for some reason) section they cut in the window, and when Batman reveals himself the egg is smaller.

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)

It's Never Too Late - S1-E6

Revealing mistake: The cane of the 'mysterious' drunk that happens to be not too far from Thorne's table is hovering instead of being properly hanging off the edge of the table in a couple of shots. (00:03:00)

Two-Face (2) - S1-E18

Continuity mistake: Grace puts down the coffee mug. When "Detective Leopold" shows her in close-up the beeper, the cup has turned around, with the handle where it would have been visible earlier (but it was not). (00:06:50)

Two-Face (2) - S1-E18

Continuity mistake: Thorne bangs angrily his fist on the newspaper with the article about the robbery. The letter opener bounces and stops, but in the next shot it's gone. (00:03:55)

Two-Face (2) - S1-E18

Audio problem: In the "previously" part, Grace whimpers "Harvey..." with a second of delay between sound and lip movement - a gap that was practically non-existent in the actual previous episode. (00:01:30)

Two-Face (1) - S1-E17

Revealing mistake: When the paper with Harvey Dent's picture on the hospital bed is burning, there are a few frames with the words "CUT THESE FRAMS" [sic] that can be seen through the flames. (00:20:30)

Two-Face (1) - S1-E17

Continuity mistake: Once Big Bad Harv identifies himself and tosses Thorne against his goons, the dossier is gone from the desk as he poses all menacing, and is back there later. (00:18:10)

Sammo

Two-Face (1) - S1-E17

Continuity mistake: As evidenced by the news report that Thorne is watching, Carlos and a photographer by him are looking at Harvey's aggression from two different places practically at once. (00:06:10)

More quotes from Batman: The Animated Series

Trivia: The series was animated on darker (typically black) paper as opposed to standard white paper. This helped aid in the show's aesthetic, and also helped save time when animating nighttime sequences, since they wouldn't have to paint the entire background black.
