Batman: Hush

Continuity mistake: Batman enters Lex Luthor's room at night while he's sleeping, and completely casts a shadow over Lex. This wakes Lex up and he sits up. Batman has not moved from his position, but now in the next shots he is no longer casting a shadow on Lex's bed or body. (00:24:47)

Quantom X

Continuity mistake: Once Batman falls to the ground after Hush first shoots his line, there are 3 different angles in shots of him lying on the ground. In each, the position of his arms change slightly in how outstretched they are above his head, and being closer or further away from his head. (01:11:14)

Quantom X

Continuity mistake: After her brief scuffle with Batgirl, Catwoman heads off and jumps down into Poison ivy's lair. When she lands her left hand is folded to the front of her body where she's gripping her whip that's wrapped around her torso. The angle cuts to a distance shot and now suddenly she's got both hands on her hips. (00:14:02)

Quantom X

Continuity mistake: Catwoman jumps down to protect the unconscious Batman from some street thugs and threatens them. She lifts up her and and extends her claws in a close up. When the camera changes to a higher angle, suddenly this same hand is down on the ground supporting her. (00:12:19)

Quantom X

Continuity mistake: Once Lady Shiva announces herself to Batman while he is by Bane's unconscious body, Batman turns and holds up a Batarang and stands slightly sideways ready for assault. Once he relaxes, he lowers his arms and straightens up, however is still standing slightly sideways and not completely straight with his head. But then it cuts to a side angle from a distance and now Batman is suddenly standing completely straight with his head and body lined up facing the same direction completely. (00:08:58)

Quantom X

Continuity mistake: In the factory, Batman lies down the corpse horizontally/across the ramp he's walking on, but when he runs off, the body is turned 90°. It's already baffling that he took the time to deal with it at all, even more unlikely that he'd drag it on the floor looking for the best Feng Shui arrangement for it in the hostile environment. (01:10:10)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Batman pulls from his back pocket the microphone/mind control thingy that Hush was using, and holds it in his fist. In the first shot though it's drawn upside down and the cables are sticking out from the bottom of Batman's fist. In the subsequent shots Batman is holding the device in the same raised fist by those cables. (01:07:40)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Batman and Jim Gordon are smashed through the wall of the interrogation room (which is directly in front of the cells for some reason), Batman is holding Gordon close and drops him during his landing, but in the full view of the corridor Gordon is at a right angle with Batman and distant, as if Batman launches him aside, which he did not (nor it would be physically possible). (01:05:50)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: After the montage with Batman and Catwoman partnering up to defeat Penguin and other villains, there's a view of the Batcave where you can make out of the shower and some clothes on the ground. It's easy to see the yellow bat-belt. But that belt is in front of the stairs when Alfred arrives, and when the shower is seen, there are other things in front, like Batman's full cape. (00:55:55)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: After apprehending Riddler, Batman crashes the window of the building where Hush appeared. By the window is half a mannequin, with a big shard of glass leaning against its pedestal. The glass quickly disappears (as most pieces of glass change place between shots) and the mannequin a couple of shots later ("We already have" line) is a full figure one. (00:49:40)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: With one of the first punches, Batman sends Joker gut-first into some crates, who end up knocking down a trash can in domino effect. The lid flies off, but in the next shot, the can is on the ground with what appears to be the lid still on. There is actually a lid on the ground a meter away though, so the lid doubled or they drew a huge upper rim to the can that was not there earlier. (00:41:25)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Bane drops from the ceiling of the abandoned greenhouse and begins advancing towards Catwoman. In the side view you can see that the metal boxes (air conditioners or something like that) are quite distant from him and he walked past, but 2 shots later he comfortably reaches them with his arm without moving and rips one off throwing it at Selina. (00:20:40)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: After chasing away the three stooges who were trying to kill an unconscious Batman, Catwoman and Batgirl are on their own in the alley. Random debris appears by the sidewalk and changes position. Also, given the position they are in when they fight, they should be stepping over Bruce Wayne's comatose carcass all the way through their exchanges. (00:13:00)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: In his fight with Bane, Batman judo-throws him on the floor and lifts his foot to stomp him. From the position of Bane and his raised open legs, it's quite obvious that he's about to whomp him in the nuts, but Bane in the following shot grabs Batman's foot that is stepping on his throat. (00:07:10)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Felons get up from their prison bunks to cheer Batman's opponent. The two guys Batman lands in front of are holding their hands on the bars in a different way between the two shots. (01:05:55)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Batman bombs Clayface's clay face off, the monster loses control over the right arm that was keeping him pinned, but reels back with two fully formed arms and hands. (01:06:50)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: The napkin on top of Bruce's croissant tray changes position between shots; in the first wide shot it's on the back of the tray and tucked all the way towards Bruce's right side, and when Selina approaches it's towards her side, the left one. (00:56:10)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: In the establishing shot in front of "Dupree Chemical Co", most police cars are facing away from the factory, while in the following shot we see the two by the entrance facing towards it. It keeps switching back and forth during the scene. (00:05:35)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Poison Ivy goes (literally) "WTF?" when the lights are switched off. We as viewers can perfectly see the scene, and the bag in front of her; in the next shot it's already in the hands of Hush and the plant it was resting on has disappeared. (00:15:15)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Bane gets pulled out of the greenhouse, the building's back windows are cracked differently between shots (the inner arcs on the window are smashed leaving big chunks of sharp glass in different parts of the curve). (00:21:10)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Batman enters Lex Luthor's room at night while he's sleeping, and completely casts a shadow over Lex. This wakes Lex up and he sits up. Batman has not moved from his position, but now in the next shots he is no longer casting a shadow on Lex's bed or body. (00:24:47)

More quotes from Batman: Hush

Trivia: Peyton List voices Batgirl. Peyton List also voices Poison Ivy. This is not the same person getting credited twice. It's two different people. Normally the SAG doesn't allow two living members to have the same name, but they accidentally missed the younger Peyton List (Batgirl). The SAG should have made the younger List use a middle initial or stage name. Incidentally, the younger List got her start in an uncredited role in an episode of "As the World Turns" which also featured the older List.
