Fine Feathered Finks (1) - S1-E3
Continuity mistake: When Batman reverses direction of the Batmobile via a "Bat-Turn", the car is shown from above turning counter-clockwise, but the next interior view shows the car is spinning clockwise. (00:14:20)
Fine Feathered Finks (1) - S1-E3
Continuity mistake: When Batman starts the Bat-Turn, the parachutes are shown deploying on a 6-lane major roadway (3 lanes in each direction) in a very open area, but after completing the 180-degree turn, the car is shown driving away from the crumpled chutes on a much narrower side street among tall buildings. (00:14:10)
Fine Feathered Finks (1) - S1-E3
Other mistake: If the camera in the Penguin's cell is hidden and stationary, then the video taken from the cell should all be from the same angle, but not only does much of it move along with the Penguin as he paces, it also is much closer and at a lower angle. It only reverts back to being hidden when he notices it.
Fine Feathered Finks (1) - S1-E3
Revealing mistake: At the start, Penguin's henchmen give out booby trapped umbrellas to everyone outside the House of Ali Baba. When they all enter the jewelry store those umbrellas explode with fireworks, gas, confetti, etc, and the stunt wires holding up the umbrellas are visible, at the top of the screen. (00:01:20)

Revealing mistake: After the huge rooftop umbrella is launched onto the street there's a small umbrella hanging from its handle, and when Batman uses his Batarang to swing towards the huge umbrella's shaft, his stunt wires are visible. (00:18:45)
Fine Feathered Finks (1) - S1-E3
Visible crew/equipment: In Commissioner Gordon's office, when Gordon is looking over the paperwork of three new umbrella factories, frustrated that none are in the name of Penguin, as he stands up we see two white tape marks on the rug behind him. In the previous scene with Warden Crichton, four of the actors had been standing in that area. (00:11:35)
Fine Feathered Finks (1) - S1-E3
Factual error: The show is obviously full of cartoonish hyperboles; particularly amusing the notion that the "tempering furnace" in the back of Penguin's shop reaches 10'000° (I assume Fahrenheit), which would make it hotter than the surface of the Sun and able to melt any known metal on Earth. Bit of an overkill to temper umbrella ribs. (00:24:10)
Fine Feathered Finks (1) - S1-E3
Revealing mistake: When Penguin pulls the lever, Adam West assumes the position to receive the net dropped on his head a couple of seconds early and as if Bruce/Batman knew beforehand that something was coming from the ceiling, in that spot, passively accepting it. (00:22:10)
Fine Feathered Finks (1) - S1-E3
Revealing mistake: In the close-ups of the basket filled with umbrellas at the bank, the asbestos blanket is continuously bumping up and shaken not by the 'explosions' of the booby trapped parasols, but rather by the thin wires you can make out at the top of the frame. (00:15:10)
Fine Feathered Finks (1) - S1-E3
Revealing mistake: The trademark vertical rope climb of this episode is done on the handle of a huge umbrella. The umbrella though is at an angle in the various wide shots, and Batman is climbing a perfectly vertical handle. (00:18:30)
Fine Feathered Finks (1) - S1-E3
Continuity mistake: The bat-phone rang, and Dick is practicing his French. Bruce in the wide shot has taken his pen off the sheet, but he is in a different position in the close-up that follows. Same when he mentions the "key to world peace"; his hand changes position. (00:03:25)
Fine Feathered Finks (1) - S1-E3
Continuity mistake: The dynamic duo enters the umbrella factory and begins talking with the Penguin. Right away you can see the cigarette in the holder has its tip turned into ash, but in the close-up on Burgess Meredith's grin a greater part of the cigarette is consumed. (00:16:40)
Fine Feathered Finks (1) - S1-E3
Continuity mistake: When Batman opens his drawer full of electronic (not to mention, literal) bugs, the various pseudo-creatures are arranged in different ways between the wider angles and the close-up. (00:20:50)
Fine Feathered Finks (1) - S1-E3
Continuity mistake: The tiny spider microphone rests on the back of Robin's right hand, but the close-up shows a gloved left fist. (00:20:55)
Fine Feathered Finks (1) - S1-E3
Continuity mistake: Adam West's hands inside the net are in a different position when Penguin sprays him with the red gas. (00:22:20)
Answer: There were three well-known actors who played Mr. Freeze, each one a different height, weight, and physique. As these were notable guest stars, the costume designers would adapt the costume to best fit each actor who likely would want to avoid comparisons to the other Mr. Freezes, incorporate their preferences, as well as refresh the look, rework whatever didn't work in previous versions, and so on.
