I'm willing to bet that if you're a DC fan, you've probably dreamt of having Superman's powers at some point. Or maybe you're a Joker fan, I don't know! Either way, you can get your fix of having Kryptonian powers through a new attraction at the Warner Bros. Studios lot in Burbank, California, called the Superman Experience: Defenders Unite.
According to a press release from Warner Bros. Discovery, the Superman Experience is a "brand-new walkthrough experience and live gameplay attraction" where guests can "unlock and hone their super powers, work as a team, and enjoy the illusion of flying alongside Superman through next-generation motion capture technology, active 3D glasses, and high-definition audio."
The attraction is inspired by the 2025 Superman movie directed by James Gunn and features its own storyline created specifically for it. And as it turns out, the Superman Experience has big ties to the larger fabric of DC Comics: "Through immersive technology, guests will simulate taking to the skies alongside Superman and visit various locations – including a training session on the Kent Farm with Krypto the Superdog – before joining Superman in an epic battle against DC Super-Villain, Darkseid. Earth's fate hangs in balance and only you and your team of newly empowered superheroes can help Superman save humanity."
Hold on, you're telling me I can battle Darkseid? Sign me up. At the "experience's central hub," the Fortress of Solitude, there are mini-games and photo opportunities like:
- A life-sized audio animatronic Gary (Robot #4), Superman's Kryptonian robot companion
- Doghouse of Solitude mini game where fans can play catch with Krypto
- A two-player puzzle game where guests can activate the Phantom Zone Projector
- As guests complete the activities listed above – along with more activities yet to be revealed – the Chaos Crystal on display will activate the entire Fortress of Solitude
And, it wouldn't be a DC attraction without a tie to the comics, of course. There is a Superman: Defenders Unite comic by writer Josh Trujillo and artist Bernard Chang available for purchase on-site.
The Superman Experience: Defenders Unite attraction is a separately ticketed event from the Warner Bros. Studio Tour and is "also sold as an 'add-on'" to the Studio Tour. You can purchase tickets at supermanexperience.com
