Continuity mistake: The clown balloon was swelling with the Smilex gas, but when Batman steals it and flies it and the other balloons away, it's back to normal shape.
Batman (1989)
1 suggested correction
Directed by: Tim Burton
Starring: Michael Keaton, Jack Nicholson, Kim Basinger, Jack Palance, Michael Gough, Billy Dee Williams, Robert Wuhl
Visible crew/equipment: When the Batmobile is driving itself to Batman and Vicky Vale, you can clearly see a hand turning the steering wheel. (01:12:00)
Trivia: Sean Young was originally cast as Vicki Vale but broke her collarbone while filming a horse-riding scene with Michael Keaton. The scene was subsequently written out of the script when Kim Basinger took over the role.
Question: Given how narrow that ledge is, just how could the Joker grab hold of it and silently pull himself onto it prior to yanking Batman and Vicki Vale over the side?

Suggested correction: The balloons were not filled with Smilex gas. The Smilex was in canisters that are visible underneath the balloons. The balloons themselves could have expended and contracted due to varying air pressure.

Yes the canisters were on the underside. But if you look closely, when activated, the balloon began to swell, and holes appeared, releasing the gas.
