The Joker: I use a knife because guns are too quick. Otherwise, you can't savor all the emotions. You know who people are in their last moments.

Updated recently Other: Watch carefully as Reese places the blueprints of the 'Tumbler' Batmobile on Fox's desk. As he takes his hand away, you can see that the drawing of the right-hand side of the vehicle is incorrectly labelled 'Left Elevation'.

Updated recently Visible crew/equipment: At around an hour and a half into the movie, when Batman is interrogating Joker, when he picks him up and slams him against the wall, for a very brief moment you can see the camera, the cameraman and a crew member in the reflection of the mirror on the right.

Updated recently Continuity: When the Tumbler has been hit by the Joker's RPG, the camera changes to showing the GPD van trying to regain control, but the Tumbler is nowhere to be seen in the foreground.

Updated recently Audio problem: Just after Harvey Dent starts his press conference, there's a shot of the audience shown while Harvey is speaking. On the left side of the screen, an audience member appears to be shouting, yet no sound is heard from him - you only hear Harvey speaking.

Updated recently Continuity: In the scene where Batman is removing the part of the wall with the bullet in it, we see the bullet hole is off-center, to the left side of the block that Batman carves out. In the next scene where we see the mounted gun shooting specialized bullets into blocks, Bruce compares the block he removed from the apartment, which is in a plastic bag, to the holes left in the sample blocks. The hole in the block from the apartment is now in the center of the block, not on the left side as it was when he removed it.

Mistake Continuity: When Joker puts the smoke bomb inside the bank manager's mouth, watch a green sign behind lying on the floor, with a tree painted on it. It has a stick on top which moves around between shots with no one touching it.

Mistake Continuity: During the interrogation scene, when Batman beats up Joker, Joker's hands are holding Batman's forearms upside down (from underneath). When the frame changes his hands are now on top of Batman's forearms, then it cuts back and his hands are under again.

Mistake Continuity: During the chase on Lower Fifth, the refuse truck's left headlamp is alternately present and lit, or completely missing (not just unlit).

Mistake Continuity: In the scene where Eric Roberts gets in the car with Two-Face, the car seems to go from being parked to going full-speed in a split-second. As he's getting in the car, Roberts is talking to his driver, and just as he sits down, he sees Two-Face, and the background appears to be moving by very quickly behind him. The car wouldn't have had time to even pull away from the curb yet.

Mistake Continuity: In the chasing scene where the Peterbilt truck hits a swat van, the truck's right front light is damaged. In the next scene, the light seems to be undamaged and then, damaged again.

Mistake Continuity: The Joker fires a rocket-propelled grenade at the Tumbler, sending it crashing end over end. In the final tumble, as it loses the last of its momentum, it's rolling to rest on its roof. The camera angle then changes and it's suddenly regained momentum, rolling again so it lands on its wheels.

Mistake Continuity: In the scene where Joker is visiting Harvey in the hospital, there is a shot of Harvey's face just before Joker takes his hand, and there is a tear on Harvey's cheek. However, in the next shot of Harvey's face, the tear is gone, and there is no trail where the tear would have fallen, and Harvey's hands don't go to his face.

Mistake Continuity: As Harvey Dent is tied up in the warehouse with the explosive barrels talking to Rachel, if you look in the lower right hand corner of the screen, a green blanket on the floor moves up slightly as Harvey tries to get out of his restraints. It's too far away for Harvey to touch.

Mistake Continuity: While interrogating Joker, Batman holds him against the wall. Joker's hairstyle keeps swapping between two different styles, depending on the camera angle.

Mistake Audio problem: In the opening heist sequence a clown grabs a bald bank teller and the teller says "Please no no!" while being thrown over the counter, however, his voice doesn't match his facial expression. His voice is loud and terrified in fear and yet his lips and face expression barely react.

Mistake Continuity: When we first see Detective Wuertz seated at the bar, the beer taps are directly in front of him. But when Harvey Dent stands in front of Wuertz, the taps are gone.

Mistake Continuity: When Rachel and the Joker are talking up close in the scene where the Joker crashes Bruce's party, as the camera switches back and forth between Rachel and the Joker a small dark blemish (maybe food) disappears and reappears in his cheek.

Mistake Continuity: When Dent dies, his right arm's position keeps changing between shots.

Mistake Revealing: During the interrogation scene, when Gordon first enters, as he begins to close the door if you look in the glass reflection on Gordon's left (screen right), you can see the door open again slightly after he shuts it. In the next shot, its completely shut and locked.

Mistake Continuity: When the Batmobile is hit by an RPG, the rear end is hurled upward. During this first view of the lift, we see the right front tire of the car come completely off just before the scene cuts to another angle. For the rest of the crash and until the 'pod' ejects, both front wheels are seen still attached.
