So far the series has filmed a lot in places that are not terribly visible. This was the 5th set I had been to for Batwoman, and it was the first time I really got a clear look at a scene done for the show. That said, it was not till the 3rd night of their shoot. This episode is being directed by Holly Dale, a veteran director of all of the Chicago (Med, Fire, & P.D.) shows, as well as Timeless, Reign, Castle, & Law & Order SVU, and many more.

On the first night, they shot all interiors at the Vancouver Club. This time, the club was repurposed to be a museum. On that night I saw a bunch of well dressed people going in & out of the building through out the evening. But the real shocker for me was when I saw not 1, but TWO people dressed as Batwoman come out at one point. Neither of which was the shows lead Ruby Rose. A bit later, I finally for the first time since the show came back to start filming season 1, I saw Ruby at set.... unfortunately it was as she was leaving for the night at 4 AM. But at least I can finally confirm she isn't just a figment of everyones imagination as many may wonder after her cancellation of San Diego Comic Con.

On the second night, again interior shooting was done. Again on that night I saw someone in the Batwoman costume that was not Ruby. In fact, I did not see Ruby till almost the end of the night as she showed up to work. During 1 tour I took away from the set during the night to investigate a different film set I was given a tip about, I came across their circus, and snapped a couple shots of some of the trailers there. Most notably was Sophie Moore, but more interesting was the non-regular cast I saw. A trailer for "Magpie doppleganger", and trailer for "Batwomen" and more curious one for "Batmen". At one point in the evening I did think I saw a guy come out in Batwoman gear, but my camera at night is far from reliable, so by the time it decided to do its job he was long into the darkness that surrounded much of the building. I saw a couple women dressed in short blond/silver hair and leather pants. Were either of them the "Magpie doppleganger" I saw the trailer for? Was 1 of them actually Magpie? I usually would think it could just be the stunt double of the actress, but 1 was a white woman, and the other Asian. So I am less sure that it was a stunt double, and not perhaps 1 being the doppleganger, and the other being the actual Magpie. I did at one point see a Sophie Moore (unsure if it was Meagan Tandy, or her double. Lighting was not ideal there outside of right in front of the door) walk out, but never saw her return. I left this set earlier than the night before, at around 3 AM because they had turned off all the outside lights, and most of the inside lights for whatever they were shooting, so being able to see anything was pointless.

The third night they moved outside. Unfortunately, it was a busy night for me, and on top of it, there was inexplicably a massive crowd around the set for much of it after the first two nights there being less than 5 people total, suddenly a crowd of 60+ was there at one point. So I did not spend a lot of time there, and missed a scene that Ruby shot as Kate Kane later in the evening on the sidewalk. When I first got there I saw a variety of "Gotham" themed vehicles parked along the street. I find it funny that "Gotham Taxi" has a basic 7 number phone number. Gotham is supposed to be a city of 10 Million+, and Vancouver is a city of 600K and they have 3 area codes. Time to update the phone numbers a bit. Reality has passed the idea you can get away with a 7 digit phone number in a metro area now.

While I was there however, I did see a scene shot that I never really quite understood. It seemed to have a bunch of the gallery guests out on the sidewalk for some reason. It seemed the boom mic was following this blonde girl in glasses, as she moved from 1 area where a couple of women flanked by CROWS security came up to talk to her, then several feet away she seemed to be talking to a different group of women. Was this Margaret Pye aka "Magpie"? I cant say for certain. I was unaware at first when I was shooting it that the woman on the head set might have been the focus of the scene. It wasnt till I looked at my photos later and noticed the boom mic was following her, and she was the only person in both parts of the scene. I left not long later as the crew were working hard to keep people from seeing the scene at all, and I didnt think there was much there to really see. Apparently I should have stuck it out, as I said earlier, Ruby did a scene out there that you can see in this gallery HERE from Celebrity Wotnot (unlike my photos, you very much will have to PAY to use theirs.... so be warned.).
