Batman: The Animated Series

Catwalk - S4-E3

Continuity mistake: When Selina dons her Catwoman costume, she pulls on her mask which was detached from her costume like a face mask, but later on when she returns to her apartment after the museum robbery, she removes her mask which is now attached to her costume like a hood.

Catwalk - S4-E3

Continuity mistake: When Selina talks to Scarface in the limousine, her eyebrows change from black to blond back to black again between shots.

Catwalk - S4-E3

Continuity mistake: When Catwoman first encounters Batman during the flashback, her whip is coiled around her shoulder. When the camera cuts back to Catwoman after the shot of Batman, the whip disappears altogether.

Batgirl Returns - S3-E8

Continuity mistake: Batgirl and Catwoman are depicted without pupils, but in one shot during the fight at the Stacked Deck, they briefly gain pupils when Batgirl says "I think it's closing time."

Batgirl Returns - S3-E8

Continuity mistake: Batgirl and Catwoman briefly gain pupils in one shot of them during the Stacked Deck fight, despite not having any throughout the episode. (04:00:39 - 04:41:24)

Heart of Ice - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: When Mr. Freeze's henchman Johnny gets his legs frozen, he is wearing pants and shoes. Later when Johnny is inside a water tank in the Batcave in order to thaw the ice, he has been stripped down to his boxer shorts. While it's possible for Batman to remove Johnny's pants above the freeze-line by cutting them away, he would still have remnants of his pants underneath the ice, but when the ice is thawed, his legs and feet are bare. (00:05:45 - 00:08:05)

Heart of Ice - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: When Mr. Freeze's henchman Johnny gets his legs frozen, an ice "bridge" connects the gap between his feet. A few shots later and the connective ice is gone, making it look like he is wearing boots made of ice. (00:05:45 - 00:07:00)

Two-Face (2) - S1-E18

Continuity mistake: The broken window pane on the door to the District Attorney's office changes slightly from shot to shot. When first shown, the break in the glass extends all the way up to the letter "L" in the word "law." When the shot changes, the break in the glass is nowhere near the letter "L." Also, the letter "W" in the word "law" is missing entirely, even though the break in the glass suggests a portion of the letter would still be intact if the letters were painted on the glass, as is standard. (00:10:25)

Two-Face (2) - S1-E18

Continuity mistake: When Grace is crying over Harvey, she is holding a picture of him with her left hand while stroking the frame with her right hand. When the shot changes, she is suddenly gripping the frame with both hands. (00:06:15)

Two-Face (2) - S1-E18

Continuity mistake: When Harvey Dent is scarred in the previous episode, it's only the left side of his face and neck. In this episode and all others with Two-Face, his left hand is also scarred and discolored.

Heart of Ice - S1-E3

Other mistake: When Batman is watching the security footage of Victor Fries' accident, at first Fries is addressing the camera directly which follows him and pans according to his movements and Ferris Boyle interrupting him, which would suggest a second person was in the room with a handheld camera. But after Ferris Boyle enters the room and orders Fries' experiment terminated, there are several cuts from various angles in the room suggesting surveillance cameras. The surveillance style footage also often conveniently cuts to the face of whichever person happens to be speaking or will cut to a certain angle in order to put emphasis on the action, all of which would require multiple mounted cameras and purposeful editing by either Boyle or one of his subordinates, which would be completely illogical since they don't want anyone to see the footage in the first place. (00:12:20 - 00:13:55)
