It's Never Too Late - S1-E6

Revealing mistake: The cane of the 'mysterious' drunk that happens to be not too far from Thorne's table is hovering instead of being properly hanging off the edge of the table in a couple of shots. (00:03:00)

It's Never Too Late - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: Thorne's henchman that stayed behind to check out the aftermath of the explosion is wearing a flower on the lapel of a white coat the first time we see him, and then a gray coat with no flower when he sneaks away to report to his boss. (00:10:15 - 00:11:20)

It's Never Too Late - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: The henchmen spot Stromwell as he makes a run for it through the train yard. Before the chase begins, Thorne gets in frame in a close-up, and he has eyebrows matching the white of his hair instead of his usual black. (00:17:15)

Sammo

Joker's Favor - S1-E7

Factual error: The note the Joker has that says Charlie has changed his name to Don Wallace lists his address as 12 Marigold Lane, Springdale, Ohio, a city near Cincinnati; however his area code is listed as 614, which is the Columbus, Ohio area code.

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)

Sammo

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)

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.
