Two-Face (1) - S1-E17

Continuity mistake: When a policeman warns Gordon that the SWAT team is in place, there's nothing to the right of the police car; in that spot there was another patrol car, and a policeman with his gun out.

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.
