Penguin's Clean Sweep - S3-E20

Revealing mistake: In any of the close up shots of Penguin, his nose has a completely different skin colour than the rest of his face. Making it very obvious that the actor is wearing a fake nose.

Penguin's Clean Sweep - S3-E20

Continuity mistake: After Batman has captured the last fruit fly, he goes to put the vial away in his utility belt. In the close up shot, his hands move toward the left side of the belt. The shot changes to a long view and his hands are now instantly coming up from the right side of his belt.

The Great Escape (1) - S3-E21

Visible crew/equipment: At the Gotham City Opera House, after the Terrific Trio have taken care of Shame and his men, Calamity Jan and Frontier Fanny show up and spray the heroes with fear gas. When Shame and his gang walk over to Batman, Robin, and Batgirl, a few chalk T-marks are visible on the floor where they will stand. (00:17:45)

I'll Be a Mummy's Uncle - S3-E23

Plot hole: After the rock falls on King Tut at the end giving him amnesia, Batman explains how the rock fell. He says Tut raised his voice three decibels above high C. Decibels are a measure of volume, while pitch is a measure of frequency: the two are not directly related. This mistake was done in other episodes of Batman also, such as when Joan Collins played the villain.

The Joker's Flying Saucer - S3-E24

Character mistake: Vertigris tells Joker he planted a bomb in the Batmobile while it was parked in front of City Hall/Police HQ. Only in this instance, it wasn't. It was parked in the alley out back, the better to hide his bomb-planting from public view, so it's strange that he'd forget this. (00:08:15)

The Joker's Flying Saucer - S3-E24

Plot hole: A time bomb is placed under the dashboard of the Batmobile and goes off inside the batcave. Much of the batcave is ruined, including fallen I-Beams, but the Batmobile has no damage to it even though the bomb was planted in it.

The Entrancing Dr. Cassandra - S3-E25

Visible crew/equipment: After Batman discovers Cassandra's true identity in the alchemy book, he takes a call from Commissioner Gordon on his cute portable Batphone, then he and Robin head to Spiffany's. When it cuts to Spiffany's, just as narrator William Dozier says, "Gotham City's fashionable 15th Ave," the actor's white marks are visible on the floor under the table. Then we see Cassandra's and Cabala's white T-marks when they walk in. Next, upon the Terrific Trio's entrances, we see their T-marks as well. (00:08:25)

The Entrancing Dr. Cassandra - S3-E25

Continuity mistake: The Batmobile returns to the Batcave by remote control. It's facing left when we get a brief, three-second shot of Batgirl talking to Batman and Robin. In the very next shot, the Batmobile has instantly turned itself around and is facing right. Its turntable (which was actually pushed manually by stagehands under the platform) didn't work quite that fast. (00:18:05)

Minerva, Mayhem and Millionaires - S3-E26

Visible crew/equipment: At the start, in the two consecutive scenes with millionaires William Dozier and then Howie Horwitz, while they're being treated to Minerva's renowned scalp massage, the chalk T-mark is visible on the floor at the lower left side of the screen, and in the Horwitz scene Minerva's small mark is also visible on the floor behind the spa chair. (00:00:45)

Super Grover

Commissioner Gordon: Great day in the morning.
