Sometimes mistakes just happen. No amount of super sight can fix or prevent them, it’s just a fact of making movies.
Some are big, others are small, and each one is intriguing in its own right.

See for yourselves and check out these 10+ DC movie mistakes fans didn’t catch.
Who uses film these days?
In Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice , Jimmy Olsen is a CIA Agent, posing as a photographer. They search him and his camera, revealing a tracker hidden in the film.
Who uses film? Everything is digital!
The worst CGI ever.
While filming Justice League reshoots, Henry Cavill was also working on Mission Impossible: Fallout .
He grew a mustache for that film, which forced production on JL to CGI it off his face.
What time is it, Jor-El?
This more than likely was due to Marlon Brando’s flagrant disregard for direction , as opposed to the Superman production team.
But when Jor-El puts baby Kal in the rocket bound for earth, he is wearing a very earthly looking wristwatch.
Those are some pretty powerful bolt cutters.
Superman IV is a mess for a number of reasons. Mainly because of how ludicrous the plot is.
If a single follicle of Superman’s hair is strong enough to support a 1000 pound weight, how on earth could a pair of bolt cutters snip it?
What happened to the body?
After the Joker puts the smoke grenade in the banker’s mouth in The Dark Knight , he makes his way back toward the school bus.
The body of the masked clown he killed moments earlier is nowhere to be seen.
Which way are they going?
In Batman Begins , when Bruce and Lucius are taking the Tumbler for a test drive, Bruce turns the wheel to the left but the car goes right.
“I” before “e” doesn’t apply here.
Apparently The Gotham Times in The Dark Knight Rises needs a new editor.
That’s most definitely not how you spell the word “heist.”
The submarine that shouldn’t float.
During a particularly harrowing scene in Aquaman , Arthur Curry raises a submarine from the ocean floor. Once brought to surface, it floats on the water.
This is impossible, considering the ballasts on the sub were filled with water.
The missing handprints.
When Joker and his gang crash the museum in Batman , his henchmen put two purple handprints on one of the paintings.
Later on in the scene, the handprints have vanished.
A zippered fly?
After bathing in the pool in Wonder Woman , Steve Trevor puts on his clothes and zips up the fly on his pants.
This would have proven difficult, considering zippers weren’t popular on clothing until the 1930s .
Where did all the makeup go?
In the final moments of Batman Returns , Batman reveals himself to Selina Kyle by removing his cowl.
The dark eyeliner Batman wears also seems to vanish as he’s taking it off.
Heels or flats?
During Silk Spectre’s prison fight scenes in Watchmen , her shoes noticeably change from flat-soled shoes to high heeled stilettos.
How tall is Killer Croc?
When Amanda Waller is first going through the files on The Suicide Squad , Killer Croc’s description lists him at over 7 feet tall.
Yet he stands almost the same height as every other member of the team.
The wrong intel on the word “intel.”
Throughout the film Wonder Woman , the word “intel” is said a number of different times. Which makes no sense, considering the film is set during WWI.
There’s no record of the word “intel” being used before 1961 .
The camera in the window.
During the interrogation room scene in The Dark Knight , Batman throws the joker against the wall.
If you look through the window, you can see the entire camera crew.
How does Harley die her hair in *Suicide Squad*?
At various times throughout Suicide Squad Harley’s hair changes colors. It goes from faded to vibrant and faded once again at random intervals.
Also, are we to believe that someone was supplying her with hair dye while she was inside Blackgate Prison?
Knox’s dust mask in *Batman* wouldn’t save him.
After the Joker organizes a parade in downtown Gotham, he unleashes his toxin on the unsuspecting attendees. Alexander Knox, a Gotham reporter, goes to the trunk of his car and fastens a dust mask to his face.
It goes without saying, chemical gas would not have been stopped by a dust mask.
Inconsistencies with shotguns in *The Dark Knight*.
When Detective Blake enters the hospital to rescue Jim Gordon, he’s clearly carrying a long, silver-barreled shotgun.
After he arrives at the commissioner’s room, however, somehow Blake is now carrying a snubbed shotgun with a black barrel.
Selina’s “clean slate” in *The Dark Knight Rises* makes zero sense.
Selina Kyle’s entire motivation in The Dark Knight Rises is what’s called the Clean Slate. It’s a computer program that supposedly wipes a criminal record from every single known database in existence.
That’s all well and good – but what about the hard copies?
The wrong sun in *Man of Steel*.
This was a huge oversight on Zack Snyder’s part. His depiction of the destruction of Superman’s home planet, Krypton, shows a yellow sun.
As any die-hard Superman fan will tell you, Krypton has a red sun. It’s earth’s yellow sun that gives him his powers.
The Joker’s hands aren’t bleached.
Take one good look at Jared Leto’s hands and you’ll see precisely what’s wrong: his hands aren’t bleached.
It was made very clear that Joker’s skin color wasn’t painted on; that was the whole point of showing him push Harley into the chemical vats.
How does *Aquaman* have tattoos?
I love Jason Mamoa. He makes an incredible Aquaman and he’s helped to completely redefine the general public’s perception of the character.
However, in the film, Arthur (Aquaman) mentions that no mortal/earthly weapons can pierce his skin. If that’s true, how’d he get those wicked tattoos?
Lois was off by about 100 pounds in *Superman Returns*.
This was clearly a mistake made in the editing room. But when Lois is describing Superman in Superman Returns , she says that he’s “6’4,” 125 lbs.” What she meant to say was “6’4,” 225 lbs.”
He wouldn’t be much of a Superman if he only weighed 125 pounds!
What happened to the time zones in *Man Of Steel*?
One of the more harrowing scenes from Man of Steel is when Zod broadcasts his message of impending doom across the airwaves.
The only issue is that it somehow appears to be night time across the continents?
The physics in every single *Superman* film ever made.
Ok, I am certainly not pretending to be a physicist by any stretch of the imagination. But I do know that if a “Man of Steel” flew up from underneath another human being at the rate of sound and tried to catch said person, they would be cut into pieces.
The human heart doesn’t freeze at 30,000 feet in *Batman & Robin*.
After trapping Batman in a rocket bound for outer space, Mr. Freeze says “At 30,000 feet your heart will freeze and beat no more!”
Sadly, this just isn’t true. The human body is quite capable of surviving that altitude. Furthermore, the heart would be one of the last things to freeze.
How did The Riddler get his receivers into Two-Face’s hideout in *Batman Forever*?
Remember in Batman Forever when the Riddler discovers Two-Face’s hideout? He convinces Two-Face to help him by demonstrating how his “Box technology” works on his henchwomen.
Nothing wrong with that on the surface, except that the receivers for The Box were already put in place. How’d they get there?
Brass gun casings on OA in *Green Lantern*.
A lot of things went wrong in Green Lantern . It will be remembered as one of, if not the , worst superhero film to have ever been made.
One of many glaring inconsistencies you might not have noticed is when Hal is shooting his construct gun on OA. The casings are brass instead of green.
Shouldn’t Clark have been fired in *Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice*?
Clark Kent is lucky to have a job. For one thing, he’s a freelance reporter with seemingly very little care or concern for his job whatsoever.
He also openly argues with Perry when he shoots down his idea about doing a piece on the Bat vigilante. For that kind of insubordination, Clark would have been fired.
Doesn’t anyone question how Clark Kent is alive in *Justice League*?
The final moments of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice show a newspaper explaining that Clark Kent had been killed. Yet in the conclusion of Justice League , there’s a scene that shows Clark returning to his job at the Daily Planet.
Not one person questions his sudden rebirth?
Lacy would have frozen to death in *Superman IV: Quest For Peace*.
OK – I take it back. Superman IV is actually the worst superhero film to have ever been made. One of the more ludicrous scenes involves Superman rescuing a woman from outer space.
It goes without saying, she would have been killed before she left the upper stratosphere.
