Surf's Up! Joker's Under! - S3-E10

Revealing mistake: While Batman and Robin are being processed into the foam surfboard blanks, they are lying on two wood workbenches. When Riptide and Wipeout begin adding the coat of resin to both foam blanks, just as Riptide announces both blanks are smoking, we can see under Robin's wood workbench the fallen wired smoking apparatus used in the stunt.

The Bloody Tower (3) - S3-E13

Revealing mistake: When Batgirl hands Batman the rope, just as he tells her to concentrate on the Indian fakir command, above Batman's head we can see the glistening wire that will be used in the stunt. Then, after Batman and Batgirl have escaped the dungeon Robin rushes up and asks how they did it, and when Batman reiterates the Indian fakir command for Robin, we can see the wire attached to the rope.

The Joker's Hard Times (2) - S2-E38

Revealing mistake: When Joker pays another visit to Commissioner Gordon and Chief O'Hara, Joker's holding his wand, and in the shots from outside the GCPD office window we can see the wire cable dragging behind Joker, which is attached to the wand and providing its power. During these shots, the actors' small white tape markers are also visible on the rug, beside the Batphone table. (00:03:00)

Come Back, Shame (1) - S2-E25

Revealing mistake: After Shame and his baddies steal Bruce's limo. Bruce shows Dick and Alfred that he had the remote control unit keep the Bat-cycle (with Alf-cycle) following them at a safe distance. In the shots facing the Bat-cycle, attached to the front wheel there's a rope pulling it. (00:17:05)

The Joker Trumps an Ace (1) - S1-E25

Revealing mistake: In Commissioner Gordon's office, when Batman opens Joker's gift the genie figure begins to inflate, and in the overhead shot the stunt's covered air hose is visible at the bottom of the screen. In the next shot Batman pops the figure causing it to deflate, and the wire at the top of the figure's head is visible as it descends. (00:07:05)

Trivia: Originally, Batman villain Two-Face was going to appear in this show and was going to be portrayed by Clint Eastwood. Two-Face's backstory wouldn't have him as an attorney who had acid thrown in his face but instead have him as a news anchor who would have a stage light exploding resulting in his injuries and his transformation into a criminal.

More trivia for Batman

Answer: There were three well-known actors who played Mr. Freeze, each one a different height, weight, and physique. As these were notable guest stars, the costume designers would adapt the costume to best fit each actor who likely would want to avoid comparisons to the other Mr. Freezes, incorporate their preferences, as well as refresh the look, rework whatever didn't work in previous versions, and so on.
