Seeing how Jackson did not get his way in having Arwen be at the hyped up Helm's Deep battle sequence...It will actually be Elf Warrior-Princess Tauriel, not approving of Uncle Thranduil's dislike of dwarves (since she has a forbidden romance with Kili), who shows up at the Battle of Dol Guldur to display her sword-wielding skills.

Thus, we do get a recycled Two Towers sequence, but it was cut because of head scratching "Arwen was not at Helm's Deep" protest. No one can protest a disobedient elven foster-daughter princess was not at the Battle of Dol Guldur!
