On Leather Wings - S1-E2

Character mistake: When Batman uses his magic computer to analyze Langstrom/Man-Bat, lots of lovely gibberish appears on screen, with some notable typos such as "Bat membaaanes", "Sedum Chloride D", "Mammac higi Index Gat harmal nomeaace at padiotion." Your guess is as good as mine for the last one. (00:21:10)

Sammo

Be A Clown - S1-E11

Character mistake: The magician's name on the poster is "Proscuitto", which is a wrong spelling for Prosciutto (ham). The misspelling is inconsistent throughout the episode; it is wrong the first time Joker shows the poster, then it's fixed at the fun fair and on tv. The font used is also different.

P.O.V. - S1-E13

Other mistake: At the speed a forklift goes, even if it crashed into the side of a big ship it would never punch a huge hole as it tore through paper like shown here. (00:20:00)

Sammo

The Last Laugh - S1-E15

Other mistake: At the beginning of the episode, the truck of the "Gotham Globe" delivers to the newsstand a nice bunch of copies of the newspaper, which naturally bears the name..."Gotham News" (00:01:20)

Sammo

Nothing to Fear - S1-E10

Other mistake: Gordon has some impressive ceiling fan in his office, since not only one of its blade supports a full-grown adult hanging by the back of the neck to it, but it even keeps working as usual during it. (00:21:30)

Sammo

Nothing to Fear - S1-E10

Other mistake: The Scarecrow and his goons escape on an airship, which has the control bridge in the gondola under the main structure. Batman reaches the top of the airship, and so does Anthony the goon...but he does it from a trapdoor on the roof of the gondola. There's a whole structure in between he skipped. (00:15:10)

Sammo

Dreams in Darkness - S1-E31

Plot hole: It's never explained: 1. How or who helped Scarecrow escape from his cell or 2. Why he'd be sitting in there at the end in costume instead of prison garb.

Suggested correction: Something not being explained is not a plot hole. The manner in which Scarecrow escaped his cell isn't essential to the plot, and therefore doesn't require an explanation. And the reason he's left in the cell in his costume is for the same reason Batman was left wearing his outfit when he was imprisoned: because the doctor at the asylum felt removing his outfit in his hallucinatory state could cause him to become catatonic.

Phaneron

Joker's Favor - S1-E7

Factual error: The note the Joker has that says Charlie has changed his name to Don Wallace lists his address as 12 Marigold Lane, Springdale, Ohio, a city near Cincinnati; however his area code is listed as 614, which is the Columbus, Ohio area code.

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)
