Mad as a Hatter - S1-E24

Continuity mistake: The 10/6th on the Mad Hatter's mind control cards come and go throughout the episode. An example is when he first is shown holding them they're blank. Then when he decides to use them on his date with Alice they've suddenly got the 10/6th.

Mad as a Hatter - S1-E24

Continuity mistake: When Jervis Tetch is shown he's around 5'5 maybe with blue eyes and sandy white looking hair. Yet the day after his night out with Alice he's suddenly around Bruce Wayne's size with blond hair and his eyes are no longer blue.

Perchance to Dream - S1-E26

Factual error: A vital part of the plot's resolution is based on the fact that the reading activity of the brain happens in the right hemisphere, while the dream activity is localized in the left half, making thus impossible to read during a dream. Besides anecdotal experience that says the contrary, this 'fact' is not supported by medical studies, which in fact contradict it. There is no hard distinction, it varies greatly between individuals and even going by those studies who could be seen as supportive of the theory, reading would not be impossible and speaking would be just as hard.

The Underdwellers - S1-E27

Continuity mistake: Alfred is skilfully dancing while sitting and sipping tea. The radio rests next to a circular monitor on the computer. Then on a featureless spot, then directly on the monitor itself. (00:04:05)

Sammo

The Underdwellers - S1-E27

Continuity mistake: The content of the table of the Sewer King constantly change when he has his messy dinner. At the end he flips the table and throws everything on the floor, and the floor is clean a second after, even. (00:12:35)

Sammo

The Underdwellers - S1-E27

Other mistake: The kids need sunglasses to be in daylight, since they have been segregated into the darkness of the sewers for so long. For the happy ending though, only the first one has a moment (very brief, considering that Frog still needed them at Bruce's) of squinting, eye-rubbing and discomfort. The others are instantly fine already the moment they are pulled out of the manhole. (00:21:35)

Sammo

Dreams in Darkness - S1-E31

Plot hole: It's never explained: 1. How or who helped Scarecrow escape from his cell or 2. Why he'd be sitting in there at the end in costume instead of prison garb.

Suggested correction: Something not being explained is not a plot hole. The manner in which Scarecrow escaped his cell isn't essential to the plot, and therefore doesn't require an explanation. And the reason he's left in the cell in his costume is for the same reason Batman was left wearing his outfit when he was imprisoned: because the doctor at the asylum felt removing his outfit in his hallucinatory state could cause him to become catatonic.

Cat Scratch Fever - S1-E33

Continuity mistake: At the end of the episode, Selina is wearing a purple vest and grey sweater, but they change to red and purple when she is holding Isis and watching Batman, and they change back to purple and grey as she cuddles Isis.

Answer: Because he stole a chemical from his lab.

But Batman knew that with it, Clayface could permanently retain his shape and Clayface desperately wanted to be Matt Hagen again. In a sense, Batman stopped Clayface from becoming human.
