Batman: The Animated Series

Heart of Ice - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: When Mr. Freeze's henchman Johnny gets his legs frozen, he is wearing pants and shoes. Later when Johnny is inside a water tank in the Batcave in order to thaw the ice, he has been stripped down to his boxer shorts. While it's possible for Batman to remove Johnny's pants above the freeze-line by cutting them away, he would still have remnants of his pants underneath the ice, but when the ice is thawed, his legs and feet are bare.

Heart of Ice - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: When Mr. Freeze's henchman Johnny gets his legs frozen, an ice "bridge" connects the gap between his feet. A few shots later and the connective ice is gone, making it look like he is wearing boots made of ice. (00:05:45 - 00:07:00)

Feat of Clay (1) - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: When Germs and Bell catch Hagen in the laboratory, they are both armed with pistols. But after the first commercial break, Germs' pistol turns into a rifle and Bell's pistol disappears entirely.

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)

Heart of Ice - S1-E3

Other mistake: When Batman is watching the security footage of Victor Fries' accident, at first Fries is addressing the camera directly which follows him and pans according to his movements and Ferris Boyle interrupting him, which would suggest a second person was in the room with a handheld camera. But after Ferris Boyle enters the room and orders Fries' experiment terminated, there are several cuts from various angles in the room suggesting surveillance cameras. The surveillance style footage also often conveniently cuts to the face of whichever person happens to be speaking or will cut to a certain angle in order to put emphasis on the action, all of which would require multiple mounted cameras and purposeful editing by either Boyle or one of his subordinates, which would be completely illogical since they don't want anyone to see the footage in the first place. (00:12:20 - 00:13:55)
