• Factual errors: When we first see Dr. Pamely Isley (Poison Ivy), she says, "Drats! My experiments to mate the Dendrobium orchid and the South American rattlesnake have failed again!" The orchid shown is a Paphiopedilum (slipper) orchid, not a Dendrobium.

• Continuity: When Batman, Batgirl, and Robin leave Poison Ivy's Turkish Bath hideout and go after Mr. Freeze, their outfits all change. Batman gets a new bodysuit with a bat logo that takes up the entire chest, Robin gets a suit with a white bird insignia (as opposed to the red on his other one), and Batgirl acquires a Batman-style mask. With time being of the essence it's not likely they would have gone back to the Batcave to change outfits.

• Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Freeze says "What killed the dinosaurs? The Ice Age!" There was no Ice Age when they went extinct.
