Plot hole: During the whole movie, the killer is supposed to wear a mask with the semblance of someone else, but the murder scenes have enough of a bright lighting for us to tell it's a real actor's face. Besides, the eye colours do not match.

Murder on the Orient Express (2015)
Episode #1.2 - S1-E2
Plot hole: Contrary to any other version (including the novel), here the mastermind behind the murder realises in timely fashion that burning the letter was a mistake, it was not actually part of the plan. With this change, they'd have still all the time in the world to go back to the compartment and get the burnt remains, but they simply do not.

Justice League (2017)
Plot hole: When Cyborg tells his origin story, he says that the Mother Box in possession of the government was shelved till after the night when Superman died, when it came to life leading it to be studied by Cyborg's father, Silas. However, that contradicts the previous movie, Batman v Superman [both 1 h 39' and 2 h mark], where Batman came upon Luther's metahuman evidence file, including Silas Stone's vlog with the creation of Cyborg that Diana watches.

The X-Files Game (1998)
Plot hole: Wilmore keeps busy (or straight shoots, really) the two agents outside Rauch's house. Meanwhile, Mulder leaves him to get to the secret facility. One wonders how, since they are in the middle of Alaska, he doesn't have a car, and there's no reason why he wouldn't help Wilmore killing the bad guys, so he can get his car, or the agents'.

Flight to Hell (2003)
Plot hole: Everyone is by Jack to try to help with the alien monster up his nose. By "everyone" we include the pilot and the copilot. Throughout the rest of the movie they wander about plenty times, both at the same time. The automatic pilot was knocked offline by the storm, and as Bob mentions in a later conversation, it was never fixed. So, who is driving the plane? Rhetorical question.

Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021)
Plot hole: WW mentions that "As Darkseid waged war on Earth, he found a secret there", that being the Anti-life equation. But later on it turns out that after being defeated, planet Earth is so "anonymous among a trillion worlds" that he never manages to find it again and destroys another 100,000 worlds (his words!) to look for it again. That would mean that they lack any sort of navigation, and it's hardly possible anyway that the planet would be "anonymous" when it contains what Darkseid wants the most.

Suggested correction: This is in the form of a question and should be uploaded as such. There are several reasons to think why Darkseid couldn't find Earth.
The questions were rhetorical, but thanks to your comment I edited rephrasing it without any questioning ambiguity, since my interest is not much in hearing fan theories filling the gaps in the narration, but rather in pointing out the obvious contradiction where Darkseid is fully aware right from the start that the most important thing in the universe is on Earth, but can't find it again and conquers another thousands of worlds instead "still looking" for it.
Earth was a random planet they attacked and on that random planet Darkseid found a secret, he didn't go there for the secret, he found it whilst there. I don't expect him to go into his ship and put a pin on a map to remember where the planet was in case they were defeated. They expected to win. In their retreat, their way to navigate back to Earth got lost. Perfectly reasonable. You don't know anything about Darkseid's way of conquering and also no idea on how they navigate from world to world.
You know he was not alone, he had an army with a whole slew of ships and subordinates, it takes a lot of suspension of disbelief to swallow the idea that they are conquering worlds going in totally blind and "conquer" worlds they can't ever visit again lacking any charting.They refer the Earth by name and know who their opponents are. An explanation would be also less stringent if Darkseid didn't learn about Anti-life at all and simply "moved on", but it's not the case.

Batman: The Animated Series (1992)
Plot hole: Alfred manages to find the bad guys because not only they grabbed the supposedly homeless guy off the street (Bruce in disguise), but also somehow brought his car to the scrapyard. If they knew it was his, they would have known something was off (a hobo with a car?) and they would have not got rid of it after more than a day. If they didn't, and they just towed out a random car, Alfred had extraordinary luck - nothing in fact would lead to believe that the truck was even related to the car.

Batman: The Animated Series (1992)
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.

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)
No Victory in Semi Final - S1-E21
Plot hole: The whole team went into the match, and the tournament, without knowing its rules. They all are totally surprised by the fact that the top 2 teams qualify from each group. Of course, that's quite impossible, especially since there are veterans in the team, Tsubasa is a football fanatic, Misaki is a clever student of the game, and you just don't walk into a tournament you have prepared for and looked forward to for ages without knowing such a basic fact.

Lupin (2021)
Plot hole: The ways Lupin enters and exits the prison don't make sense other than in a movie. He gets in timing appropriately his visit to the inmate, and performing a magic trick that requires actual magic to work; it is a trope and can be conventionally accepted as 'power' of any skilled movie thief to be able to wriggle out of handcuffs, but here he disengages from the cuffs someone else; a non-collaborating and unsuspecting individual, without having the keys and without him noticing. In a realistic series, that's a huge strain on suspension of disbelief. Even worse how he gets out; he fakes hanging himself by tying the noose to a basketball net he wears as harness. They just show him waking up in the ambulance, and that's good, because there's no way that the guards or medics didn't notice that apparatus dismounting him or attempting any first aid. They would have felt the net simply touching his shirt, even.

Lupin (2021)
Plot hole: Lupin is a super-smart character who is always way ahead of his competitors. He acquires a VHS tape that is a smoking gun on his most hated enemy. He puts online (so he managed to convert it in digital format) a small clip as 'teaser' and shares it on twitter, where it goes viral. Then he goes to national TV...where the director is in cahoots with Pellegrini and plays a version of the tape that edits the incriminating part out. And that is enough to entirely defeat him. Apparently, he did not have a digital copy of the whole thing he can release to prove the editing job! It does not make any sense, especially since he knew that Pellegrini had the official media under his control, and him going on TV - lying about his own identity under a ridiculous makeup - couldn't have any positive effect worth the risk.

Lupin (2021)
Plot hole: Fabienne Beriot is a crack investigation journalist who wrote an entire book about Pellegrini's corruption and crimes and was hellbent on dragging him through the mud. Yet she is unaware of what happened to Assane; somehow she managed to Miss in her lifelong investigation the 'small' fact that Pellegrini saved his empire by cashing in huge insurance money thanks to a very public theft that screamed insurance scam.

Lupin (2021)
Plot hole: The protagonist gets in the exclusive, multi-millionaire, invites-only auction because the invitation is on a printed letter that he faked. This means that the guards at the entrance don't have a guest list to check, and since nobody knows who this person is, the staff does run a background check on his identity when he makes the first outrageous bid...by looking his name up on Wikipedia. That's mighty low standards of security, especially for an auction that was supposed to be for a selected audience and the most important in France.

The Mandalorian (2019)
Chapter 16: The Rescue - S2-E8
Plot hole: In the previous episode, Mando and the others got a hold of the coordinates of Moff Gideon's cruiser, but this episode begins with them capturing Dr. Pershing in a shuttle, and after that they locate Bo-Katan and Koska and get them on board for the mission. How they found these people is unknown, and cruisers are not planets, they tend not to be stationary. Hard to imagine Mando and the others get into weird and complex subquests to get some help while Gideon at one point, which could be in just moments, could hyperspace in some other sector and leave them with no clue where to find him.

The Mandalorian (2019)
Chapter 14: The Tragedy - S2-E6
Plot hole: Mando needs to make it to the top of the hill fast (he lost the ever important high ground, but he does not seem to mind). He would have a jetpack, but he left it behind. Now, everyone can be distracted and forget some piece of equipment and realise only a minute later (although it's a huge walk, and he has to climb, you'd think he'd remember right away). The problem is, even if Mando forgot the pack and realised only a minute later, the throwaway comedy intro of episode 2.2 showed that he can remote control the jetpack and call it back to himself.

Chapter 9: The Marshal - S2-E1
Plot hole: The Tusken raiders offer a Bantha to the dragon to make it sleep longer. To do, so they wake it up, which seems to defeat the point, but let's assume they know what they are doing and the dragon catches up on sleep later. Regardless, the dragon already ate one the day before. If it does not stay put even after just eating a Bantha a day before, it's hard to imagine how feeding it can be productive, considering that they all live in a desert and have just a literal handful of large mammals. The dragon should have eaten them all in a week, at that rate.

The Mandalorian (2019)
Plot hole: Moff Gideon can count on a plethora of forces (as seen in Season 2) and as a calculating villain who does not value at all the lives of his men, he should go and regroup. Instead, he engages Mando and the others firing at their boat, which if successful, would atomize the Child, making his mission entirely for naught.
