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)

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)

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)

Revealing mistake: At the beginning of the shot with the creepy clown that sends his unicycle crashing and begins juggling, the kids in the background are frozen in place for the first frames, then start moving. (00:05:15)

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)

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)

Other mistake: When Jordan comes out of the truck, something went wrong with perspective and/or proportions, because with his leg bent he is practically as tall as the truck door, and he's a child.

Character mistake: The magician's name on the poster is "Proscuitto", which is a wrong spelling for Prosciutto (ham). The misspelling is inconsistent throughout the episode; it is wrong the first time Joker shows the poster, then it's fixed at the fun fair and on tv. The font used is also different.

Trivia: The series was animated on darker (typically black) paper as opposed to standard white paper. This helped aid in the show's aesthetic, and also helped save time when animating nighttime sequences, since they wouldn't have to paint the entire background black.
