I've Got Batman in My Basement - S1-E20

Continuity mistake: Batman looks at the vulture after outwrestling it, and then, sprints to get his 'rang back. When he looks out he's got a cut on the suit, on the left, but when he fetches the weapon the torn part is gone. Cut away, and now the tear is back and doubled over to the other side. (00:02:55)

Continuity mistake: The size of the egg the Penguin's guys steal changes throughout the opening. It's twice as big as the ginger's hands when he holds it, but passed through a small triangular (for some reason) section they cut in the window, and when Batman reveals himself the egg is smaller.

Other mistake: Toss a brick into a pile of empty boxes, and they won't fly around like it is shown. The heavy brick will sink into whatever hits and possibly other boxes will be affected; here the brick does not deform the box it hits and every single cardboard acts like bouncy balls. (00:13:30)

Other mistake: The Batmobile moves because Roberta is pushing the gas pedal...but one of the first shots when we see the car move, shows Roberta rolling to the back of the cockpit because of the acceleration. The car does not slow down or anything, though. (00:09:35)

Other mistake: Sherman touches by mistake the "OFF" button...which turns the conveyor belt on (there is a separate ON button...for some reason). Not just that; the buttons also look completely different between shots; first they are circular buttons with colored lights on top, then they are nondescript small levers. (00:06:55)

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.
