Smack in the Middle (2) - S1-E2

Deliberate mistake: Ignoring that its very unlikely all of Jill St. John's copious red hair would fit under a wig that passes for Robin's hair, it's impossible that it would emerge from under that wig looking as full and perfectly styled as it does when she's in the Batcave.

Holy Rat Race (2) - S1-E18

Deliberate mistake: When Batman and Robin get free from the train tracks in the nick of time, the shot of the couple on the passing train is flipped; note things are backwards. (00:04:30)

Super Grover ★

The Purr-Fect Crime (1) - S1-E19

Deliberate mistake: At the end, Batman chooses the button on the right which opens the door on the right, with the tiger inside, but the last shot of the episode has been flipped, so the tiger exits from the door on the left. (00:23:25)

Mistakes

The Joker Is Wild (1) - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: When Batman and Robin are in the museum speaking with the director, Batman's chest emblem is high enough on his chest that it nearly touches the bottom edge of his cowl. In the next shot, when he leaves the museum, the emblem has moved down several inches.

Trivia

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.

Question: What city was used for Gotham City?

Answer: There wasn't one singular city used. It was shot in and around various locations in California, plus on a lot of sets and backlots. Ex. Some scenes were shot in LA, some in Pasadena, some in Santa Barbara, etc.
