Be A Clown - S1-E11

Continuity mistake: The Mayor is giving an inauguration speech. Look at the crowd in the long shot. It cuts closer, and you can see that the man in cowboy hat that was in the crowd moved behind the mayor on stage. A journalist in red tailleur also switches to lilac. (00:01:20)

Be A Clown - S1-E11

Continuity mistake: Summer Gleeson points the microphone at Mayor Hill while she has her left hand on a broken beam that is either absent or at different angle when they pull him out of the rubbish. (00:02:50)

Be A Clown - S1-E11

Continuity mistake: The first time we see Jordan in his room, a huge monstrosity of a doll is propped against the door. This puppet reaches the knob of the door while in a sitting position. Then a few seconds later his dad enters the room, and the doll is at his ankles. (00:04:00)

Be A Clown - S1-E11

Continuity mistake: In the overhead shot of "Jekko" that pushes the cart with the cake, next to a waiter with a red towel there's a man in an orange shirt. Next shot and his shirt is blue. (00:07:55)

Be A Clown - S1-E11

Continuity mistake: When Bruce Wayne plays clumsy and fends the crowd with his large package, the same people (like the elderly woman with the big hat) move out of his way multiple times in different shots. (00:09:05)

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)

Sammo

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.

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

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)
