Production Hell - Batwoman

The more we hear about the arguments, clashes, accidents and accusations going on behind the scenes of Batwoman, the more of a disaster this show seems to be. Join me as I delve deep into the murky world of the CW's Batwoman.

It's just not that much a problem when you can't point at someone and be like "yeah, that guy ain't not Jew." No can really tell apart from like straight up Hassidic folk with the suits and everything, so it isn't a big problem for suspension of disbelief. Especially when they all have their menorah-shaped pubes and Star of David tattoos concealed by costumes at all times which they're legally required to have otherwise they're disowned by the Ghost of King David. It's a whinging of self-indulgent, infantile moralism on the part of people who never got past the high school phase of perceiving the world around them. They want "representation" whereas we just want people who can reasonably play roles in order to suspend disbelief in support of a good story. A Tutsi African dude could easily pass for another African ethnicity, but were one to suddenly replace him with an Asian dude for no reason, the audience is going to be like "wait, what?"

[@Adamguy2003]

My personal theory: Working behind the scenes on the show WAS a hellish experience, and Ruby Rose WAS a spoiled, demanding diva. When that much egotism and belligerence from both sides gets together, the end results are never pretty. As for Dougray Scott, he probably DID want out of his contract ASAP due to the low quality of the show, its abysmal ratings, and what a thankless role he played on it, and probably was a little grumpy for a while when he was denied a way out until the end of Season 2. Ruby Rose, then, having pretty much no prospects afterwards, brought up all this crap, leaving out her own nastiness and embellishing the studio heads' douchebaggery somewhat, for publicity. She then decided that in order for her claims to draw more attention, that she needed to take a page out of Amber Heard's toxic playbook and exploit the MeToo movement by throwing in an accusation of abuse against the most high- profile male member of the show's cast. Dougray Scott (The only person closely associated with the show who had really significant name- recognition) was the perfect target for her in that regard, so she heavily embellished how he acted after he was unable to get out of his contract. Problem is, Scott has moved on from the show and is currently trying to rebuild his career with more sophisticated fare (He is now back in his native Scotland shooting a British TV/ streaming adaptation of Irvine Welsh's novel 'Crime,' in which he'll be playing the lead), and so he won't take her slandering him to boost her own career sitting down, and so he's taking her bony butt to court over it.

Almost NOBODY has worked with RR because, as we keep trying to tell you all, she is NOT AN ACTOR. Australians were like 'hahah oh wait, ur serious? the underwear model and 'DJ' who dates C-grade australian celebrities? Batwoman? No no no no no...." Americans seriously have a hard time telling when Australians can't act. The Hemsworth boys learned on the job, but they were soap actors at BEST before you guys decided they should be in movies. Joel Edgerton is the worst; so incredibly untalented it's like a long-running prank we're pulling on America. Heath Ledger surprised even us, though. Hollywood been trying to copy that story ever since. The rule now seems to be, if you're bad at acting with your natural Australian accent, go to Hollywood, where you can be a star. (But only if you're a genuinely nice person like Chris Hemsworth and not, say, Ruby Rose.)

I did a day call which turned into about a week doing lighting on Batwoman when I lived in Vancouver. Didn't want to be on it as I'd heard some of the rumours but yes, I can vouch for that production assistant. On one night shoot which started around 6:30pm at the Vancouver train station there was just one short stunt scene where Batwoman was meant to slide off a bike, have a short dialog and then dissappear. This was a 2nd team shoot so it should have been short shift (anything less than 12 hours is short, 15s would be standard at times). Everything was set up ready to start shooting yet Ruby sat in her chauffeured car for around 2 hours right next to set, for no reason, despite being called multiple times. We all had to stand around in the freezing weather, ice, snow and wind. It ended up being a 19 hour shift in the end. She had a stunt double and body double so she was only needed for the facial shots. Another day we had only a couple of hours to do a last minute full on lighting for Vancouver city hall with no warning and limited equipment as again it was a 2nd team shoot. It was a crappy production as a whole but that's the ugly nature of the film industry up in 'North Hollywood' as they call it. Ridiculous hours, low energy because of lack of sleep and no original ideas for the crews to even get slightly energized by. The safety standards there are extremely lacking too despite them putting millions into the ridiculous covid protocols and it is true about the production assistant that got severely injured. That made the DGC and IATSE union really start to make a bit more of a stand about conditions. The pay may have been good but I cherish my time more than money nowadays. And thank christ I was only a day call. Its embarrassing to have put even some of my time into it.

​@@andreivaldez2929 She immediately categorises people into "matter" and "don't matter", and then conducts herself accordingly. If you don't matter, she treats you like you're utter scum. Like you don't exist. As it turns out, I mattered in her assessment in the context in which we met, so I didn't receive this treatment - but everyone else did. Everyone. I found it almost breathtaking that anyone could be so rude. Don't get me wrong, in the entertainment industry, you expect to deal with divas...and it's a dog-eat-dog industry, so I take it all with a grain of salt. But it's not that she was simply aggressive in a tough industry - she knows how to kiss the right asses and turn on the charm when there's something in it for her. It's that she ONLY EVER PUNCHES DOWN. Assistants, receptionists, customer service staff, baristas...anyone who she deems is of no benefit to her receives scathing, palpable contempt. The worst part of it is, whilst she is borderline sociopathic towards others, she perpetually claims to be a victim. She bleats incessantly about her depression and anxiety and self harm and plays the victim card first time, every time. She claims to be a spokesperson for mental illness and a champion of the oppressed...yet I've seen her leave customer service staff virtually in tears with how horrendously rude she is. I don't know how much people know about her pre-Hollywood, but she's Australian and was kicking around Sydney and Melbourne for years before she got placed in film. She as a reputation in particularly Sydney as being one to avoid. I know several people that saw her on a regular basis in a service provider context that ended up refusing to see her because she treated them so poorly. It's tragic that young girls look up to her as a role model. She's poison, and if people knew the misery she inflicts on those around her, they'd think differently.

I've actually worked as a camera operator on a production with Dougray Scott and from my own personal experience, he's a very likeable professional man. He interacts with the crew very well, is happy to do numerous run-throughs (because mistakes happen), works with the guys on a technical level for visuals and rework scenes if need be. He also has the ability to offer insight and suggest technical elements from experience. He would actually make a very good producer. So IMHO my suspicion is that it is more likely that Ruby Rose is the problem. Update: One thing I forgot to mention, he made a point of going round and speaking to us all individually, just to spend a minute or so with us (including the runners & assistants), because he knows this business is about relationships.

He was respectful to us "little people", and very accommodating and patient.

They made a new character with extremely similar name and acknowledged the existence of the previous character. They had great A stories that were not based on her sexuality, that was just part of her background and origin, since it got her booted out of military. B stories usually had something to do with her romance with Maggie Sawyer, a prominent cop in DC comics who transferred from Metropolis to Gotham and was going trough a divorce. I liked the series as a whole. And yes, there were things that SJWs like in it but it was handled as a story, not a MESSAGE. What I did not like about the series was the editorial interference that ended the series with Kate leaving Maggie and cancelling engagement because "heroes cannot be happy".

But anyway, the show is terrible (and that's why I left after the first season), but there are a handful of great people on the crew who know it's shit but just want the paycheck. I was one of them. I can confirm that Ruby was rude to a lot of the people on set, though I never experienced that directly. Either way, I'm partial to the idea that the allegations against her are true.

[@alexmercer9649]

wow, it's so cool to have an actual witness who worked on set! btw if you don't mind could you tell me how you get in to this line of work? it's my dream to works in this industry but i don't know how to get started

[@scottgiles7546]

I just want to say "the check cleared" is a respectable form of career management in Hollywood. Michael Caine can have much of his explained that way, for one.

@@alexmercer9649 for sure man, it's no problem at all. Like a lot of careers it all boils down to connections and who you know. If you know someone in the industry and they vouch for you when shows are crewing up, you can jump right in. If you don't know anyone, I'd recommend film school. That's the route I took, and while the education itself was largely useless the connections I made during my time there are what allowed me to find work upon graduation. You've got to be hungry and chase after those leads though, I'd say upwards of half of the people I went to school with didn't end up in the industry. That being said it's a ton of fun working on shows and I wouldn't trade it for anything.

@@Vyrnost thanks man! I have asked around and pretty much everyone said the same thing you did so basically Is the same for every country. Thanks for the advice but it's a little problematic for me,you see I actually just finished a two years course in screenwriting in naples south Italy, don't get me wrong the teachers were great but others school in the aerea provided multiple meeting with publisher and similar figures( my of course didn't) and in mid pandemic they cancelled the meeting at the local Comicon ( yep they basically stole the name to the "real one) so now i find myself without any money and without connections😅 I already know It'll be very hard to start in the field so i appreciate every advice, still thanks a lot for the answer.

@Elizabeth Bennett I was simply referring to the fact that I was one of the people on the crew who didn't like the show but wanted the paycheck. The "great people" are those I worked with who don't deserve any flak just because the show isn't popular. I can see how you could've misconstrued my wording and drawn your conclusions with a bit of mental gymnastics on your part, but to infer that I'm a narcissist and accuse me of that as a stranger on the internet is pretty wild. May wanna rethink YOUR words because you come across as having the mind of a child.

Color me surprised that someone that goes by Ruby Rose is a wee bit of a princess

[@Vadahann]

There was a rumor about Rose’s injuries at some point : Allegedly, she would actually have gotten it while filming a movie who didn’t have proper insurance and then decided to put it on Batwoman production to get on their insurance.

[@luciferthedoberman8991]

YUP! She admitted she was in Romania when she hurt her neck, but she didn't have a work visa.

[@BWMagus]

My old man was a shift lead, a union rep, then a manager, at a large company. And there was one rule he had for when he had to oversee or deal with a new crew; if one guy came up to him and, essentially, said "Everyone else here is an issue" or even "I'm the one who actually works," he knew where the problem was. Multiple people pointing to Ruby is far more convincing than Ruby's conspiracy against her. And also, some of her complaints sound like, well, typical Twitter bitching; constantly emphasizing that Scott was abusing "women" and he yelled at "women" and he hurt a stunt "woman" COULD mean he is a raging misogynist, or it could be a feminist who thinks the slightest criticism of a lady, by a man, is abuse. As for the accidents; people get hurt. One of the injuries she said happened because they didn't shut down filming due to COVID--what does that have to do with anything? Did a viral particle pierce someone's skull? I could believe that perhaps the director or producer didn't know how to handle stuntwork, proper safety and all that, but again, she phrases it more like a conspiracy of evil, shady businessMEN than just incompetence. Not to mention that if she was chased out of the victim club and turned into a villain for not being "gay enough" and "too white", she absolutely had a motive to get back in by saying she was a victim of evil production crews and older men, while also positioning herself as a hero standing up for her poor, abused peers. Meanwhile, while every studio has an incentive to film fast and cheap, they don't have an incentive for inviting mass criticism and Twitter mobs, especially when those folks are the core of their (very small) audience. Normally they quake and apologize at the slightest accusation, but if they are lawyering up and repudiating every word RR says, they must be damn confident that no one and nothing is going to corroborate her claims.

you and AZ do always do a great job breaking down Batwoman

[@thomasarnoldcoe6527]

I think I figured it out. Looking back at Rose’s statement, she says 3 times all the abuse from Scott was aimed at women. This would lead me to disbelieve Rose, as you can see that way she is trying to subtly suggest Scott is a targeted women in a bid to gain support from the liberal leaning industry

[@chlorophyll6154]

I just wonder how in the 80s and 90s when Jackie Chan and Sly Stallone still at peak they actually do their own stunt and having massive injury without anyone complaining, woke
