Thursday night I went to a Batwoman set a few blocks from my house. They were filming in an alley they filmed at a few weeks ago. This time, there were more cast on set than the first time there, as Javicia Leslie as Batwoman was joined by Camrus Johnson as Luke Fox, and Nicole Kang as Mary Hamilton were on set this night, along with the stunt team. This was the first set I had ever seen Camrus at where he was working (I did meet him in season 1 at a set, but he wasnt working that night, just walking by). This was also the first set I had been at where Nicole was working since the pilot episode.

In an early evening scene, they did stunts. The scene they did had Batwoman fall from about 6-8 stories up. They did that several times, each time, having the stunt end shortly before hitting bottom. Then later, they did 1 take of the stunt where the impact actually happened (which I missed because I didnt expect it... but I heard the impact after it happened, and was met with a sizable cheer from the crew)

After they did that scene, they brought in the Batmobile & parked it immediately in front of the vehicle she crashed into. There was then a black van put in front of the Batmobile. From there they did the second part of this scene, with Luke & Mary running over to Batwoman, who was laid out flat on top of the vehicle she crashed into. The team grabs Batwoman, and carries her back to the van and puts Batwoman in the back. Then the pair do some weird scene that seems like they were excited/confused or something, to be honest I didnt fully get it. All I know is Mary does a weird little hop step then runs back towards where the crash was, while Luke goes towards the drivers seat of the van.

So how did Batwoman fall? Who nearly killed her? Will this be the start of seeing Luke & Mary in the field more?

Shortly after that, Javicia went to lunch break. About half an hour after that they let Camrus and Nicole go on lunch, and I left the set. I had considered going back for post-lunch filming, but I didnt. So thats all I have to report on for this set.

One observation I noticed during the night is, the back of the Batmobile opens up. I mean I guess it makes sense, but hadnt seen it till that night.

I also added 1 photo in, so you can get an idea how far away I am shooting from. The little yellow square is the ENTIRE area of their filming area.

There is also some photos I added of a map of Gotham that was on a bus shelter there that they clearly were planning to use on a later shoot tha ti missed.

Friday night I went to a Batwoman set a few blocks from my house.It had been a while since I had actually had a chance to catch up to the show. The first of the Arrowverse shows that I say shooting this season had eluded me for a few weeks, especially since the news that Javicia Leslie as Ryan Wilder had her very own version of the Batsuit, and a newer looking Batmobile.

Well, Friday night, finally we got our 1st close up look at her new suit, and the Batmobile (although not moving, just parked). The scene had Batwoman and Meagan Tandy as Sophie Moore doing a scene where the pair walk together back to where the Batmobile and a CROWS Security truck are parked. They have a talk that lasts between 30-45 seconds, then part ways, with Ryan heading to her car, while Sophie heads to the CROWS truck.

I know a few fans were reading a lot into the 1 photo I posted on my Patreon of Ryan and Sophie facing each other  with each others hands on the other, but unfortunately for them, I dont think that was anything. As I never saw it in any of the takes, before or after that, and dont recall if it was even part of a take at that time. If it IS part of the scene, it was the 1 & only take I saw them do it.

There was a later scene in an alley a couple blocks away that Javicia also was going to be in. However, after 2 days of unexpected sets dropping on me, after an already hectic week for me, I chose to call it a night and passed on the very late shoot that wasnt going to start till well after 1 AM.

Last night I went to a Batwoman set a few blocks from my house. Of course, like the set from the other night. I went there in the hopes of seeing new Batwoman Javicia Leslie there in the Batsuit, instead of just as her new character Ryan Wilder. Like the other night, I do not know which set this is for, but I again believe it to be episode 2, or 3.

Unlike the other night, this time I got what I was hoping for. Javicia Leslie was out in the Batsuit, which from first look (to me who isn't really good at noticing finer details) it looks quite similar to the Ruby Rose version of the suit that Kate Kane was wearing, except, for someone a bit shorter.

The scene they were shooting had a CROWS security bus parked sideways in the middle of the street when I showed up, with a sports car parked in front of it. Shortly after I was there, I heard them refer to the car as something I was NOT expecting.... THE BATMOBILE. The car had Motion Capture tags all over it. I don't know what type of car it is, because they conveniently had a MoCap tag right over the logos of the vehicle. While this scene was going on, I got my first confirmation that Batwoman was on set when I saw her a couple times near the back end of the bus getting prepped for a scene.

A bit after I got there, they did a scene where that bus was speeding along the street, before coming to a screeching stop in the position I saw it in when I first showed up.

Shortly after the stunt scene, it was back to the scene I saw with the vehicles parked in the middle of the street facing each other. We then got to see Javicia out in the Batsuit, and then saw her do a scene where she gets out of the Batmobile, run up to the bus door, demanding they open up the door & get out. The driver obliges her request (only after she aims a pistol at the door), and Batwoman goes into the bus and goes into the drivers seat before the door closes and the scene ends.

As one of the local paps in town stated about his observations of Javicia at set. She seems to be really enjoying her time in the role. Smiling & laughing a lot. I personally have already witnessed her break out into very short dances on both sets I have seen her at.

I guess the big questions now are. Will this be the Batsuit for Ryan going forward? Or is this just a hold over till she gets her own, like how Kate got revisions on hers from when she took Bruces? What will the Batmobile look like in action?

In the next couple days, there may be some short video from set to post. Just need time to edit it. So check back later this week for that.

Since COVID-19 shut down the industry, and much of the world. This is the first Batwoman set I have made it to since they started back up in early September.

Last night I found the cast & crew of Batwoman in New Westminster filming a couple scenes for an episode. I BELIEVE it was for episode 202, but I dont know that to be for certain.

The first set, at the Anvil Centre in downtown New West, saw the building dressed up to be Gotham General Hospital. A TV crew was there doing a report, and it seemed to be about the line up of people there seemingly waiting for something. That something? An antidote for "Bat Toxin". Yep, Batwoman is writing in a story line about some Bat themed issue that is poisoning people, and people lining up to get a cure to it. Considering the point we are at currently in the world, this seems like a bit risky to me. While there, I saw a Gotham Ambulance, as well as a Hamilton Dynamics truck parked there. Which made me wonder.... who runs them now, since Catherine died. Mary? Someone else?

Last thing I noticed at this location, was that 1 of the transportation vehicles for cast actually had a custom license plate that reads "BAT-WMN". Would be nice if more shows did this lol. Make it easier for me when I am just passing by to know which production it is, without having to stop and look around.

After this scene wrapped, the crew moved about 2 1/2 blocks away to their night shoot location.

For the evening shoot, the crew had moved over to a produce market on 10th street. There they had a scene where a couple of attempted masked up thugs went into the store looking to rob it. Unfortunately for them, someone else was in the store. This would be my first look (and I believe the public as a whole) at Javicia Leslie as Ryan Wilder, aka... the new Batwoman.

The scene (to the best of my interpretation, gotta remember, they dont always film things in order) seemed to have these two barge into the store, try to rob it, before Ryan throws a bottle at them, causing a scuffle that generates a bang, before Ryan gets tossed across the floor, and the thugs leave without any money, or even their guns.

Is this altercation what inspires her to become Batwoman?

Later, there was a short scene with Ryan still there, and a CROWS guard now also there, and she seems to look at him with a look of confusion or annoyance before she goes over towards where the cash register area is, and the CROWS guard follows suit. Not long after that, they wrapped the night.

So, about the Batsuit. Unless her Batsuit is going to be a blue jacket over an orange shirt, with 1970s yellow & brown pants, and some gold & white Nike shoes..... I am guessing this wasnt it. Maybe next time?

Lastly. This was the first full film set I got to really observe in action. While I had been to a couple of other productions so far, I never really got to see fully how sets are working around the new COVID-19 era restrictions. First observation I made, I was really impressed with the vigilance of the crew to wear their masks at all times. I fully expect to find some slackers in that department, but I never saw any.... or maybe they've already been weeded out since this is week 3 for them now. I also got to see 1 of their coronavirus testing areas at the set (didnt go into it, but saw the precautions needed to be in there), and that as well looks like they really are taking this seriously, as each person who went in was in head to toe PPE just to get their test done. I also got to learn a bit about the "zones" that everyone has now. Each crew member has a different coloured badge, and can only work with people with that same colour badge. As for cast, as soon as their scene was completed, they immediately had masks back on till the next take. There was sanitizer almost everywhere you went. No more just casually going from 1 place to another because it might be most convenient for you. If you arent allowed in a space, you cant go. From what I heard from the few crew I chatted with, it does not seem (yet) to be causing any delays with filming. So hopefully things can remain this smooth throughout. Lastly, 1 crew member when I asked about working with Javicia compared to Ruby, while they didnt comment on Ruby specifically, they did say they love working with Javicia.

So we finally have our 1st look at the future new Batwoman. We get to find out that there is some sort of "Bat Toxin" that people are desperate to get an antidote for. What will all this mean?

In the next couple days, there may be some short video from set to post. Just need time to edit it. So check back later this week for that.

Last month I had the newest CW super hero show, Batwoman filming in the alley right beside my apartment. I do not know what episode number it was for, but almost certainly it was for 16,17 or 18 (unless it is a picked up scene from a prior episode).

Unfortunately, it was also on a night that a couple TV shows I watch were on, namely The Flash. So I only got to spend about an hour at the set. I had planned to go back a bit later, as they were scheduled to be there till the wee hours of the morning. But in a rare instance (although its the 3rd time its happened to me this season with a set) they wrapped more than 5 hours early.

I did manage however to get a few photos of Ruby Rose on set in her full costume in the little time I was around. In the scene, she seems to grab a man (uncredited at this time) and shove him up against a car & interrogate him, before the man scurries off. I had hoped to see a bit more of the scene later.... I didnt know it was going to be done so quick.

I will have a bit of video from this night at a later date. I am pretty far behind on videos right now. So maybe later this month. Check back here then for it, or you can subscribe to my Youtube channel to see when it finally is uploaded. My Patreon members will see it sooner.

UPDATE - February 24, 2020 - video has been added below.

UPDATE: NOVEMBER 4, 2019 - Actor on set playing Mouse has been identified. Info has been updated in the article.

On Friday night I came across the next program in the ever continuing DC Comics Arrowverse for The CW, Batwoman. They were shooting scenes for an upcoming episode. I didnt get the episode number, but I would estimate episode 8, might be 7. Its hard to get a read on where they are filming wise so far as they have frequently been doing extra days due to balancing schedules.

This scene was in the evening in the Downtown Eastside in an area known as Arch Alley that is used by a lot of film crews. For this scene, they had the alley dressed to look like an apocalpytic alley with a homeless camp, and a burned out car.

The scene had Rachel Skarsten as Beth/Alice, Sam Littlefield as Johnny/Mouse and an unknown actor. They were doing a scene where Alice walks up to the burned out car, sets a large metal case on the back of it, while talking to a person behind her which we eventually would find out is Mouse, and in front of her. Alice eventually reaches into the case, and pulls out a large weapon and points it at a man standing several feet away in the alley. At some point she either shoots the gun, or makes an action of shooting the gun, and the man in front of her looks behind him as she does. She then calls Mouse over, takes him by the hand and walks away past the other man down the alley.

After the scene wrapped, Rachel & the other actors left, and the crew moved over to shoot scenes a couple blocks away with Ruby Rose, Meagan Tandy and a lot of CROWS security that you can read about HERE.

There is also video below of the scene from there, and from this set. The video for the Batwoman & Sophie scene is courtesy of @TheMyscirabound on twitter.

Batwoman will debut on The CW in the U.S. October 6, 2019.

I didnt get the episode number, but I would estimate episode 8, might be 7. Its hard to get a read on where they are filming wise so far as they have frequently been doing extra days due to balancing schedules.

On this night of filming the cast & crew were in downtown Vancouver filming in an alley off of Richards Street. There was an earlier shoot down the road from there that I will have a different post on later this week featuring Rachel Skarsten as Alice. But this specific shoot had a lot of CROWS trucks & guards, along with two cast. Ruby Rose was there as Batwoman, and Meagan Tandy was there as Sophie Moore. This was the first time I really saw 2 cast filming at the same location yet.

This was the 9th set already I have been to for this show, and it was the first time I saw two regular cast on the show in the same scene.

The production had a sign outside on Richards labeling a building "Gotham National Bank", so its safe to say after I left at 2 AM, they likely were going to move out there to shoot too. But the scene I saw was completely contained in the alley way, with CROWS trucks & guards driving up & down the street in the background. In the alley, we have Sophie in CROWS attire come up behind Batwoman with her gun drawn. A moment goes by, and next we see Sophie looking up into the sky and Batwoman is no longer where she was standing. After a few takes of that scene, they broke for lunch & when they came back from lunch, it seemed they might still be doing that scene, so I called it a night.

Batwoman will debut on The CW in the U.S. October 6, 2019.
