Trivia: After a family tragedy, coupled with studio executives' dissatisfaction with the production, Zack Snyder left the film and was replaced by Joss Whedon, who rewrote and re-shot large portions of the movie. After several years of fans demanding an "original" cut, HBO Max funded Zack Snyder's Justice League, restoring the director's original vision for the film, which garnered mostly positive reviews, being largely viewed as an improvement on Whedon's version.

Bloody Harlan - S2-E13

Question: Mags poisons herself with the same "it was in the glass, not the jar" approach she took with Loretta's father. But we see her grab two glasses - one from the cupboard and one off a shelf. Does she slip poison in while off camera, or is it just that the cupboard/shelf glasses are always poisoned, trusting that everyone knows not to use them? Seems like a crazy risk to take.

Mother - S7-E3

Stupidity: The team knows that Eva can snatch people through any reflective surface, and make a great show of killing the lights to prevent reflections...which are then replaced by emergency lighting, rendering the whole process pointless. They also drop shutters over the outside of the windows, leaving the reflective windows themselves unprotected inside the lab! And Barry promptly stares pensively into one at close range...and is of course snatched by Eva.

Other mistake: After realising they can track the mother box, Batman says they have to go back to his base to use one of his satellites to track it, and they all do so. Which completely ignores the fact that Cyborg could easily access the satellite feed directly using his abilities and display it to the others on any nearby screen in Star Labs.

Continuity mistake: After Silas is killed, in the wide shot Cyborg is standing mostly upright in front of Flash. Cut to a closer shot and he's bent over. (02:51:45)

Other mistake: Barry comes back to his home, replaces the fuse in the fuse box, flips the handle (begs the question of why remove the fuse AND turn off the switch, but whatever), and within 2 seconds every screen in the place is lit up. Sure, a TV might come on that fast, but plenty of those screens are showing data, analysis, etc, running off computers, which would take longer than that to boot up and get everything running.

Hatless - S1-E9

Continuity mistake: As Raylan sits down opposite the thug, who says "I just take orders", his gun is held vertically. Cut to a shot from the front and it's on its side. (00:25:00)

The Perks of Not Being a Wallflower - S1-E3

Stupidity: Superman finally smashes the weirdly strong bad guy through a wall, then goes to Lois, says "he's gone", and whisks Sarah to hospital. But he has no idea if the bad guy is "gone" or not - they've just had an epic fight, he has some sort of super strength / resilience, and for all Superman knows he'll come around in 10 seconds and finish the job of murdering Lois.

Chardee MacDennis 2: Electric Boogaloo - S11-E1

Continuity mistake: In the long shot of Frank's flag being raised, it clears the beer mat holder, then we cut to a closer shot and the flag is lower and gets raised up again.

Mac and Dennis Buy a Timeshare - S9-E4

Continuity mistake: When Dee and Charlie find Frank stuck, his arms are in different places depending on the camera angle.

Jon Sandys ★

The Gang Broke Dee - S9-E1

Continuity mistake: The plane that Dee gets onto has winglets and a dark blue/black stripe around it. When seen flying in the next shot, the plane has no winglets and a red stripe.

Reynolds vs. Reynolds: The Cereal Defense - S8-E10

Continuity mistake: As Dee says "I would like a five with my client" she puts her arm across Dennis' arms. Shot cuts to the side and both her arms are clasped in front of her.

Mac and Dennis Break Up - S5-E9

Continuity mistake: The liquid stain on Dennis in the restaurant suddenly becomes much smaller when he offers to pay Mac's tab, then gets larger again as he smiles.

Revealing mistake: As the T-Rex rages through the street, some cars crash, and one reversing car dramatically flips. Two problems though - firstly, it's reversing quickly enough to mean it must have travelled past the dinosaur to build up that much speed, so the driver would have just driven forwards away from the T-Rex instead. Plus there's nothing which would realistically be in the road to make the car flip over like that, it's just a street with cars stopped on it.

Jon Sandys ★

Revealing mistake: The woman who screams and reverses away from the T-Rex while staring at it is suddenly replaced by a male stunt driver looking over his shoulder in the shot from the side.

The Gang Gets Held Hostage - S3-E4

Trivia: When Frank pulls out the gun on the roof, he says "Yippee-ki-yay Mr. Falcon", a nod to Die Hard 2, the TV version of which infamously had the word "motherfucker" badly dubbed over with "Mr. Falcon."

Jon Sandys ★

The Gang Gets Invincible - S3-E2

Continuity mistake: At the start Charlie's fairly clean-shaven, then when they all sit in the park after agreeing to get some fresh air, he's got his usual beard / heavy stubble.

All-New Halloween Spooktacular! - S1-E6

Trivia: When Pietro says he'll help the twins maximise their candy acquisition, one twin says "Kick-ass!" and Wanda repeats to herself "kick-ass." Both Aaron Taylor-Johnson, who played Pietro in Avengers: Age of Ultron, and Evan Peters, who plays "Pietro" in WandaVision and the recent X-Men films, both starred in Kick-Ass.

All-New Halloween Spooktacular! - S1-E6

Trivia: Pietro makes various hellish references which tie into fan theories that what's going on in Wandavision is the work of a demon, quite possibly Mephisto: "Unleash hell, demon-spawn" and "damn it, if Westview New Jersey isn't charming as hell."

The Rundown Job - S5-E10

Character mistake: Upon finding the Spanish flu virus missing, Hardison freaks out about it killing 50m people 100 years ago, saying it would be even more deadly today due to the higher population. There's no reason to think so - the death toll in 1918 was massively exacerbated by the aftermath of WWI. Not to mention today we have vaccines, plus most deaths then were actually caused by bacterial pneumonia, which today is easily treated with antibiotics.
