Batwoman Season 1: 8 Easter Eggs & References You Might Have Missed In 'Pilot'

8. A Very Familiar Gotham City

The Dark Knight Rises Gotham City
Warner Bros. Pictures

As all of the Arrowverse shows are filmed in Vancouver, viewers tend to see quite a few faimilar buildings inexplicably pop up in Star City, Central City, Earth-38's National City and even in a futuristic Legends of Tomorrow setting.

However, Batwoman films its exterior shots in Chicago in order to give Gotham City that unique look it needs. As a result, the show's version of Gotham is identical to the version of the city that appears in Christopher Nolan's acclaimed Dark Knight trilogy (as it was also filmed in Chicago). In fact, the Wayne Enterprises building is exactly the same.

A nice way of honouring three of the greatest entries in Batman's on-screen history, this was only the first of multiple Dark Knight Easter Eggs...
