Batwoman Season 1: 3 Ups & 2 Downs From 'Who Are You?'

Downs...

2. Recycled Footage

Batwoman episode 3
The CW

Batwoman's first ever appearance in the Arrowverse saw her standing atop Gotham's Gothic architecture in the Elseworlds crossover and it was, quite frankly, an awe-inspiring sight. With that in mind, it's understandable that the show itself would be eager to recycle that footage to recreate that effect (even if it doesn't due to the absence of the triumphant score).

However, after appearing in last week's episode, that shot popped up once again in 'Who Are You?', as Sophie was seen watching a news report that just so happened to feature that exact same scene (apparently the Gotham news recycles footage too). Given that this was already recycled footage to begin with, it's beginning to feel like the show is really overdoing it now.

Can't they use a different angle or just film a new shot?
