Continuity mistake: The content of the table of the Sewer King constantly change when he has his messy dinner. At the end he flips the table and throws everything on the floor, and the floor is clean a second after, even. (00:12:35)
Continuity mistake: The policeman that writes down the woman's leprechaun sighting is using a brown and yellow notepad in the first shot, which turns into a white paper sheet in the next. (00:03:05)
Continuity mistake: When the Matron fails to draw the taxi's attention, a couple passes by her (she wears a blue raincoat and a purple beret) but they were nowhere in sight in the wide angle. (00:02:45)
I've Got Batman in My Basement - S1-E20
Continuity mistake: The balls of the bolas that tie Penguin up change position between shots. (00:18:00)
Continuity mistake: When Batman smashes his face against the blimp, in the shot from inside the cockpit there's not much damage, while in the reverse shot it shows how Batman's pointy chin created a rather large web-pattern of damage. (00:18:30)
Continuity mistake: When Poison Ivy advanced towards Batman that is clinging to the edge of the trapdoor, she is empty-handed at first, then all of a sudden she holds the antidote. (00:20:15)
Continuity mistake: Bruce Wayne is holding the microscope slide in two different ways in the two different shots. (00:10:30)
Continuity mistake: Harvey gulps down the whole glass of water, but when Bruce tries to revive him after the chocolate mousse incident both glasses of water on the table are still full. (00:07:50)
Continuity mistake: The dessert on the table changes completely in appearance from the start of the scene (Pamela bids her farewell) to the rest (Harvey does not feel good). (00:06:40)
Continuity mistake: When Pamela kisses Harvey at the cafe, her left hand is on the shoulder first, then the top of the head in the next shot. (00:06:50)
Continuity mistake: The waiter that brings the snails to Pamela brings them in a tall bowl-like container in the wide view, but it's a normal plate in the next shot. (00:04:10)
Continuity mistake: A newspaper clipping shows Bruce and Harvey shaking hands in front of a sign. The sign in the photo is different from the sign they were actually standing in front of. It says simply "Future site of Gotham Penitentiary" instead of "of the new Gotham Penitentiary." (00:02:10)
Continuity mistake: Captain Clown chases Batman with its arms outstretched, except in the long shot with the crane; he is walking with his arms down his sides. (00:15:45)
Continuity mistake: When Captain Clown lifts the drum to toss it into the river, the lid shows no holes; Joker punches a few in it earlier. (00:11:55)
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)
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)
Continuity mistake: Doctor Long pushes a button on the elevator's board. The key shines bright in close-up, it's not lit in the wider angle. (00:02:30)

Continuity mistake: The ribbon on top of the big package left by Joker by the antenna is inconsistent in position between shots. (00:12:00)
Christmas With the Joker - S1-E38
Continuity mistake: The Joker's goons blew up the bridge, and Joker turns to the three hostages. Bullock's candy cane is facing Summer's, but the Joker put it in his mouth facing the other direction. (00:07:50 - 00:09:40)
Christmas With the Joker - S1-E38
Continuity mistake: Joker puts in the mouth of "the Lawful family" members candy canes that they can't spit away. He puts back in Summer Gleeson's mouth the cane with the hook pointing up, but it points down when he's done with Bullock. (00:07:40)
Answer: Because he stole a chemical from his lab.
But Batman knew that with it, Clayface could permanently retain his shape and Clayface desperately wanted to be Matt Hagen again. In a sense, Batman stopped Clayface from becoming human.
