Other mistake: The janitor, Howard, stops Dr. Stone to talk to him about the loss of his son. Look at his badge; the person on it sports a beard and sideburns and a hat, and it's "Jensen" plus initial. Later on the same janitor hears a noise inside the lab and you can see the badge picture is different and it lists the full first and last name. The first scene was a Whedon reshoot, so probably after weeks they didn't have the original prop and made another one. (00:18:55 - 00:21:15)

Continuity mistake: Clark is thanking Bruce for the house. They both look in the distance at Lois and Martha; there are a couple guys fetching boxes near the carpenter, on both sides of the workbench, but they are nowhere to be seen in the new closer angle. (01:45:55)

Suggested correction: Passage of time. Movies don't always show every second in real time. Martha and Lois were approaching the steps, when the boxes were being fetched. In the close-up Lois is several steps up and Martha is just stepping on them as the guys with the boxes follow. It's also depth perception. The boxes aren't near the carpenter. You can see when Clark walks up. The boxes are actually several feet in front and to the right of the carpenter. It's also very possible in the close-up, they aren't in there.

I understand the caveat about the continuity in editing since they have moved away on what would amount to a couple seconds (Lois is merely on the second step), which is a hiccup some would label error in continuity already. The boxes are not right by the workbench, but still they are near as I said; let's say the person on the left who grabbed one moved to a portion of screen where he wouldn't be visible (you do see his gloved hands); the guy in red and blue should be in frame no matter what.

Continuity mistake: When Flash pushes the truck with the civilians, the kid has her left hand between Barry's, but at the first cut her hand is on the outside. (01:41:00)

Audio problem: Superman uses his heat vision against Cyborg that shot at him. Cyborg deflects it and the beam destroys a patrol car in the distance, that explodes in the background without a sound. (01:14:50)

Suggested correction: There is a sound of a small explosion. Considering the distance, and we're close to the heat ray grinding on his shield, it's pretty good sound editing. We should be hearing more of the shield anyway.

DetectiveGadget85

I believe you are right and that the resonance from the shield does drown out a sound that could match the explosion in the distance! Works for me.

Continuity mistake: Flash is running to power up Superman's ship. In the wide aerial shot when he dives towards the pool (after he went past Cyborg and Aquaman with their backs turned to him) notice Diana with hair in front of both shoulders. A close-up with her and Arthur follows and her left shoulder is clear of hair. (01:12:10)

Character mistake: When the military security checks Flash's phony badge, his false name "Rowe, Wesley" replaces the name of one of the names in the list to the right, one "Choi, Wesley." The problem with this is that the last names this way are not in alphabetical order anymore, so Cyborg made in fact a rather poor fake, especially for such a supposedly super-powerful being who hacked the Bat-cave computer on the fly, on top of a much larger mistake with the date of birth listed as 11/06/10, and the movie is set in 2017.

Continuity mistake: After the underground battle with Steppenwolf when they are finally joined by Aquaman, Wonder Woman sums up the situation with "All he needs now is the Lost Box of Men." Batman replies "If he doesn't already have it" in another shot, where Diana's hair is missing in front of her shoulder. (01:01:15)

Suggested correction: Passage of time. You assume Batman responded that quickly and WW didn't fix her hair, as women tend to do.

DetectiveGadget85

I do, and I believe it is a legitimate assumption given the dynamic of the scene, rather than thinking that the hair switched place because there was am unseen, unimplied lengthy pause between her line and Batman's direct reply and that during that time she flipped a lock back without changing her stance with pendule arms between shots.

Continuity mistake: The Queen and Euboea are knocked off the horse by Steppenwolf. The Queen is face down, with the scabbard of her sword pointing up and aside of the mantle; next shot and the scabbard is not visible, just the mantle. (00:25:45)

Continuity mistake: When Barry is talking to his dad in prison, the father asks "Where do you even have the time?", and Barry is suddenly leaning with his arm to the counter instead of having that hand on his lap. (00:17:10)

Other mistake: The security guard alerts Batman about Barry Allen's arrival pushing a button on his phone. The date on the phone says it's Friday 20th Jan, which is coherent with the year (2017) this version of the movie is set in, but too early for the K-pop "As if it's your last" music video playing in Flash's lair (it was a summer release).

Continuity mistake: The woman in the doorway of the Thai Street Food store reacts differently between the two shots to the dude kicking the crates in front of her; she is clutching her bag to her torso in the first shot, holding it more casually in the second. (00:06:50)

Factual error: Martha Kent drives away from the foreclosed property. The realtor address is "Comanche, KS 66531", but that's the zip code of Riley, in Riley County. (00:06:30)

Continuity mistake: Todd meets Mr. Beadle outside of his shop with a new apprentice for him. Beadle strokes his chin as he mentions the 7 guineas, but his hand is firmly on the boy's shoulder at the cut. (00:07:55)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: During the gravedigging scene, Aquaman offers Diana a swig from his flag, who turns it down. Momoa lowers his arm in one shot, and Gadot turns towards the others. In the background in the next shot, Momoa is lowering again his arm, and she is looking ahead. (02:22:55)

Sammo

Other mistake: Before Wonder Woman bursts into the room with the terrorists there's a cut to the schoolgirls watching the bomb about to blow. The girl to the far left is actually cracking a laugh. You may justify it as a hysterical reaction (she does the same in the foreground when the baddie turns the key), but appearing just in brief moments and with her looking properly afraid in other shots, it just looks wrong. Whedon's version didn't feature the corpsing. (00:20:40 - 00:21:35)

Sammo

Revealing mistake: One of the amazons (apparently called Epione) is standing to the right of the chamber doorway and shoots arrows protecting the queen. When Hippolyta runs towards the wall to do a fancy move after fetching the Mother box, you can see Epione being tossed to the wall by the parademon bolt a moment before the CGI bolt reaches her. (00:29:15)

Sammo

Other mistake: Apparently, one of Aquaman's superpowers must be to be super-heavy, since surfing on the body of a parademon he lands on a five story building and that somehow slices the whole building in half, complete with explosions that leave him unscathed and don't turn the parademon's carcass into a pulp. (03:15:15)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Alfred notices in his drink the disturbance caused by Superman's approach and pauses his work to stare at it, but in the next shot when Supes lands he is still working on the engine. (03:17:25)
