10 Worst CGI Moments In The Arrowverse
These moments were spectacles for all the wrong reasons...
The Arrowverse has been a juggernaut of television for nearly a decade now. In that time, it has brought together some of the most popular superheroes in DC's history, showcasing them across Arrow, The Flash, DC's Legends of Tomorrow, Supergirl, Black Lightning, Batwoman and Stargirl.
Since the first of those arrived on screens in 2012, we've been entertained with some impressive and boundary-pushing sights. However, not every larger-than-life moment ended up having the larger-than-life feel that they were supposed to. One of the primary reasons for that is the sometimes-dodgy CGI.
Look, at the end of the day we must remember that we are talking about television here. No matter how ambitious the shows are, it would be ridiculous of anyone - and downright unfair - to expect blockbuster-quality special effects from a TV series (y'know... unless you're Game of Thrones) simply because they don't have anywhere near as big a budget.
But that hasn't stopped us all from noticing some of the times when the Arrowverse shows were perhaps a little too ambitious and couldn't quite get the desired results. On that note, let's take a look at some of those times when the CGI stood out for all the wrong reasons...
10. Batwoman - The Scarlet Knight Takes Flight
Batwoman's pilot episode was a solid opening to the show. A little flat when compared to some of the other Arrowverse offerings, sure, but solid nonetheless. One thing that let it down, though, was the CGI used in the titular character's debut.
The battle in the episode's climax between Kate and Alice looked great, but it was the shot of the newly-arrived Batwoman posing over Gotham City that looked really odd.
Not only did the Batwoman in question look more like a stunt person than Ruby Rose, the angle they were positioned at didn't match the angle that the background was filmed from and the odd way that the cape blew didn't fit either. Given that the green-screening used wasn't half-bad, the awkward angle undercut the grandeur of the shot (and, indeed, the moment).
