** The real-world reason Mr. Freeze is smoking a cigar is because Arnold Schwarzenegger was addicted to cigars during shooting and wouldn't stop smoking them, even on camera, so they were painted white.

* Batman and Robin have lasers to melt each other out of ice. Why didn't they think to fire one at Freeze's leg or the bulky power pack on the back of his suit?

Cut Lex Luthor A Check


** Why didn't he just market this medicine for more research into finding a cure for the stage of the disease his wife has? And, for that matter, why didn't he market the cryogenic technology he used to preserve his wife? There's no excuse for this version of Freeze to have turned to crime and start holding cities to ransom and blow all that money on death rays and getaway rockets.

* Kind of a meta-headscratcher, but what's with the keyboard in the Observatory? For those who don't know, we get a few shots of the keyboard when Batman is typing on it and, as [[https://www.reddit.com/r/batman/comments/8652w6/pretty_sure_i_found_the_biggest_mistake_in_batman/ this screenshot]] shows, it's a really weird prop where the letters are in really messed up layout (which doesn't even have all 26 letters!), the spacebar is at the top, there's only an up and down arrow key, and so on. Was it just some weird joke/EasterEgg they did?

* How did Mr.Freeze build the rocket ship at the beginning? Just because he's a brillaint scientist doesn't mean he's an aerospace engineer as well.

* Why didn't just Woodrue just inject Venom into Antonio's system with a syringe? Wouldn't that be less risky than drilling holes into his head which could very easily have killed him (unless he has skills in trephination)?

** It's also possible that Woodrue designed the Venom to enhance Antonio's metabolism so he wouldn't have to worry about such things.



** Because this version of Freeze is also trying to extort money to continue his research into a cure for his wife. Antarctica is already frozen, so his threat wouldn't be very frightening to the dozen or so other people who live there. And if he were to move there after he succeeded, it wouldn't be a very great place to settle down considering that his wife, if she were to be revived, is still a normal human.

** By "volunteer", Woodrow was probably exaggerating. That guy does '''not''' want to be there. However, maybe he knows he's got no choice. Goons carried him in rather easily, and are still right there waiting in case he tries to bolt.

* If the venom goes into Bane's bloodstream, why is there never any blood going through those tubes on his head? Shouldn't Antonio have bled to death after the tubes were pulled off, or even before he is transformed?

** It's possible that Ivy used her newfound pheromones to make Bane slightly more intelligent to do such things.

** The first kiss was consensual. For the second one she'd have to physically overpower Robin, and as she admits herself, she's not a fighter. Also, shoving him in the water would've worked just as well if not for Batman and Batgirl arriving.
