Batman: The Animated Series

Pretty Poison - S1-E9

Continuity mistake: A newspaper clipping shows Bruce and Harvey shaking hands in front of a sign. The sign in the photo is different from the sign they were actually standing in front of. It says simply "Future site of Gotham Penitentiary" instead of "of the new Gotham Penitentiary." (00:02:10)

Pretty Poison - S1-E9

Character mistake: The French spoken by the waiter of the cafe is phony in a pretty atrocious way for a supposed high class restaurant. Can't even pronounce "monsieur" right, it's merely a tacked-on accent. (00:04:10)

Pretty Poison - S1-E9

Continuity mistake: Harvey gulps down the whole glass of water, but when Bruce tries to revive him after the chocolate mousse incident both glasses of water on the table are still full. (00:07:50)

Pretty Poison - S1-E9

Continuity mistake: Harvey Dent is brought inside the hospital on the stretcher fully dressed in his business suit. Which is pristine clean, despite the face he just facemoussed and got chocolate splatters all over himself. (00:08:40)

Sammo

Pretty Poison - S1-E9

Revealing mistake: Harvey Dent has been poisoned. Commissioner Gordon picks up the phone; there's a mistake in the animation here, with the telephone cord clipping through. (00:08:50)

Pretty Poison - S1-E9

Other mistake: Melissa Manchester and Neil Ross voice minor characters in this episode. The end credits list them like this though; "Additional Voices - Melissa Manchester as Neil Ross." It should have been "And", of course. (00:21:55)

Sammo

Pretty Poison - S1-E9

Continuity mistake: When Poison Ivy is introduced in her trademark green costume, she's bare legged. Yet a few shots later, she's suddenly wearing green tights. While she's offscreen for a brief period, there's not enough time between the shots for her to have put them on.

Nothing to Fear - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: Scarecrow just terrorized the security guard. His two goons approach him asking what did he do. The one with the grey coat has his Tommy gun in his right hand, the one with the brown coat keeps it off frame. In the second they are off camera, grey coat switched hands to the gun, and brown coat is holding his to his chest. (00:04:20)

Sammo

Nothing to Fear - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: Both Batman and Scarecrow's henchmen are reading the same newspaper, one with a "University Museum Benefit Tonight" headline. The same headline though has a different layout; the words "museum" and "benefit" have bigger spacing in Bruce's copy. (00:10:15)

More quotes from Batman: The Animated Series

Trivia: The series was animated on darker (typically black) paper as opposed to standard white paper. This helped aid in the show's aesthetic, and also helped save time when animating nighttime sequences, since they wouldn't have to paint the entire background black.
