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

Other mistake: The Batmobile moves because Roberta is pushing the gas pedal...but one of the first shots when we see the car move, shows Roberta rolling to the back of the cockpit because of the acceleration. The car does not slow down or anything, though. (00:09:35)

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

Other mistake: Toss a brick into a pile of empty boxes, and they won't fly around like it is shown. The heavy brick will sink into whatever hits and possibly other boxes will be affected; here the brick does not deform the box it hits and every single cardboard acts like bouncy balls. (00:13:30)

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.

Prophecy of Doom - S1-E22

Revealing mistake: When the passengers are evacuating the sinking ship after the bomb goes off, there is a shot shown from above, of passengers running up the stairs. Many of the character designs for the passengers are repeated throughout the shot. For example, a blonde woman in a purple dress can be seen three times in the shot. (00:02:36)

Casual Person

The Forgotten - S1-E23

Continuity mistake: The fat boss tells his underling that the prisoners will bring him "twice the gold ore." He asks then "Do you hear me?" The fan is in front of him or behind the back. (00:06:15)

The Forgotten - S1-E23

Other mistake: Bruce remembers who he is, which somehow gives him also the strength to bend metal (!) and escape. A new prisoner is carried in the camp by the guards, but...he's not new at all. He was already there the first day, standing in the group of prisoners that was eating. And the guy who escorts him is the same that less than a second later spots Bruce from the watchtower and blows the whistle. (00:06:20 - 00:14:30)

The Forgotten - S1-E23

Continuity mistake: The chain gang trio is having a bit of chit-chat underground. The social worker Batman came looking for hauls a giant rock on top of the cart, but the rock is gone when the gallery starts to collapse. (00:08:25)

Sammo

The Forgotten - S1-E23

Continuity mistake: Trying to protect Salvo, Riley punches two thugs. The second one is a red bearded man. The big boss urges then the other baddies to attack, and redbeard is way behind him, hasn't leaped into action yet. (00:11:35)

The Forgotten - S1-E23

Plot hole: Alfred manages to find the bad guys because not only they grabbed the supposedly homeless guy off the street (Bruce in disguise), but also somehow brought his car to the scrapyard. If they knew it was his, they would have known something was off (a hobo with a car?) and they would have not got rid of it after more than a day. If they didn't, and they just towed out a random car, Alfred had extraordinary luck - nothing in fact would lead to believe that the truck was even related to the car.

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.
