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.

1 suggested correction
Directed by: Tim Burton
Starring: Michael Keaton, Jack Nicholson, Kim Basinger, Jack Palance, Michael Gough, Billy Dee Williams, Robert Wuhl
Continuity mistake: After Batman rescues Vicky he has a voice remote for the Batmobile. As the car approaches he orders the car to stop by speaking into the remote and then lowers it to his side. When the camera shot changes showing the car stopping right in front of him, he is still holding the remote to his mouth. (01:09:20)
[The Joker is dancing with Vicki Vale in the bell tower of the cathedral.]
The Joker: It's as though we were made for each other. Beauty and the beast. Of course, if anyone else calls you a beast, I'll rip their lungs out.
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: When Joker goes to Vicky's apartment, how did he know where she lived?
Answer: He could have looked up her address in the phone book. Just before Bruce arrives at Vikki's apartment, Joker asks Bob the Goon for - a phone book. Also he could have been tailing Bruce and found her apartment that way, after all he does show up not long after Bruce does.
Chosen answer: She's a semi-famous reporter/photographer. It would be fairly easy (especially for a criminal) to find her home.

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.
