Be A Clown - S1-E11

Other mistake: When Jordan comes out of the truck, something went wrong with perspective and/or proportions, because with his leg bent he is practically as tall as the truck door, and he's a child.

Be A Clown - S1-E11

Character mistake: The magician's name on the poster is "Proscuitto", which is a wrong spelling for Prosciutto (ham). The misspelling is inconsistent throughout the episode; it is wrong the first time Joker shows the poster, then it's fixed at the fun fair and on tv. The font used is also different.

P.O.V. - S1-E13

Continuity mistake: Bullock's version of the story; he drops the gun, and he crawls over to grab it. The gun, as evidenced by the cone of light it is in, changes position on the floor between shots. (00:05:20)

P.O.V. - S1-E13

Other mistake: At the speed a forklift goes, even if it crashed into the side of a big ship it would never punch a huge hole as it tore through paper like shown here. (00:20:00)

P.O.V. - S1-E13

Plot hole: The two agents split; the rookie goes down an alley, chasing the two henchmen, who reached their car and chase him back down the alley almost running him down. Batman saves him though, destroys the car and quickly interrogates a suspect. Somehow though he also manages to save Montoya, who went inside the warehouse right away as they split the warehouse. The timing does not work.

P.O.V. - S1-E13

Continuity mistake: The lieutenant is drinking a mug of coffee (or whatever) when he begins to listen to Bullock's story. The rest of the scene takes place inside the same room, but the mug just vanishes without a trace, it's not on the desk.

Sammo

The Last Laugh - S1-E15

Other mistake: At the beginning of the episode, the truck of the "Gotham Globe" delivers to the newsstand a nice bunch of copies of the newspaper, which naturally bears the name..."Gotham News" (00:01:20)

The Last Laugh - S1-E15

Continuity mistake: The boat with the gas-emitting garbage goes past the bridge, and its odor approaches the bridge trailing behind, from the left of the screen. A few seconds later it also intoxicates the street workers, but the miasma approaches from the right. (00:02:00)

Sammo

The Last Laugh - S1-E15

Continuity mistake: Captain Clown gets pressed into a block of scrap metal. The ascot faces the front side (the one facing the direction the conveyor belt carries it to) in the first shot, then Joker dumps more junk on Batman and goes away sitting on the block; the ascot is facing now the back. (00:17:15)

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.
