* Anything to do with Mr. Freeze falls in this category.
** Ahaha. Fridge Logic. I get it.
*** Icy what you did there.
*** That pun leaves me cold.
*** Let's chill with the puns.
*** These puns aren't very ice
*** Snow more jokes, guys!
* Poison Ivy was sitting in her chair/plant when she kisses Robin. She fights him and Batman. Then Batgirl comes in and they fight. Batgirl pushes her into the chair/plant which eats her... No reason was given as to why her chair just ate her...
** One of two things happened: When simply lounging inside the plant, Poison Ivy didn't put enough pressure on its trigger mechanism to close it, but when she fell into it, the mechanism triggered and, like a perfect reflex action, the plant closed instinctively. Another possible reason is that Poison Ivy simply lost control of the plant due to being beaten up from the fight and her mind being otherwise occupied.
** Ivy wanted her plants to gain the strength and intelligence of animals, so that they would hate all humans and could defend themselves against the harms of mankind. While Ivy fought Batgirl, the plants' intellect reached maturity, so when she fell in, the flower throne, [[GoneHorriblyRight recognizing her as a human]], and/or [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness without any more need from the human that raised them]], [[TheStarscream turned on their mother]].
* A bit of fridge logic over the infamous Bat Credit Card: Bruce adds a credit card to Wayne Financial, in the name of Batman, with no expiry date, and a bit of obfuscation, which draws on his own considerable finances, or a ghost account in the name of Batman. As far as the credit card company is concerned, the transaction is valid, and money is paid to the seller.

* Pretty much the entire rainforest ball in hindsight; Bruce's plan to use the Heart of Isis is marred by the fact that his plan means luring a dangerous criminal into a crowded event, a criminal who has been shown to have the stomach for killing, a very dangerous weapon, and a gang of violent henchmen, with only himself, Robin, and a handful of police officers between them to capture him. At best, a very poorly thought-out plan, and at worst, a plan where the Dark Knight himself intentionally endangered the lives of a ballroom full of people.

* The movie actually opens with a decent VisualPun: outside the museum it lingers on a shot of a frieze before introducing Mr. Freeze. Too bad it's all downhill from there...

* FridgeBrilliance - Mr. Freeze is not having a moment of BondVillainStupidity at the beginning of the movie. His plan was to lure Batman (or even Robin) into a FriendOrIdolDecision by freezing Robin and using that to cover his own retreat because his suit was running out of energy and his life would have been in danger if he had stuck around to fight Batman. In short, Mr. Freeze pulled a BatmanGambit ''on Batman''!
** The guy trying to save his wife saying "your emotions make you weak" definitely supports this theory.

* Ivy doses several men with her pheromone dust and gets different results for each. This isn't inconsistent writing, Freeze describes it as 'heating a man's blood' so each man she affects is only as dazzled as a man would be if severely aroused and flirted with (Dick is young and inexperienced so falls completely, Freeze is married and devoted so shrugs it off completely, etc.).

** Ivy did also say "curses", which, judging by what she said next, which sounded a bit like "no, not 'close'", her plant obeyed what it thought was a command. That's how I understood it when I was younger, so I thought I'd just throw that out there.

* The movie is much more enjoyable if you watch it as a SpiritualSequel to the campy Creator/AdamWest version of Batman.

* FridgeHorror: All this "LighterAndSofter Gotham" talk almost goes right out the window when we see that every nook, cranny, abandoned Turkish bath and street racing site is populated by gangs. Most of them look homeless, at least one is led by a sexual predator, and another is completely okay with raising a child around crooked, violent bike races.

* People complain about Batgirl's costume not having any "bat nipples". Well, think about this. The costume was made by her uncle, Alfred. Wouldn't that raise a lot of questions and UnfortunateImplications if her costume ''did'' have nipples?
** It does.
