Gotham City and Metropolis are coming to this massive theme park
The worlds of Batman and Superman are getting the theme park treatment.
Soon you'll be able to visit Gotham City, Metropolis and four other worlds at Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi.
The massive theme park is set to open on Yas Island in the United Arab Emirates sometime in 2018.
Metropolis will boast skyscrapers from Superman's world, the dark cityscape of Batman's Gotham City will thrill visitors, and Cartoon Junction, Bedrock and Dynamite Gulch will feature characters like Bugs Bunny, the Flintstones, and Scooby-Doo from the Looney Tunes and Hanna-Barbera cartoons.
The sixth "world" brings in the golden age of film with Warner Bros. Plaza replicating old Hollywood glamour.
The worlds, with renderings below, will be home to 29 rides and attractions.

Whether you show up in full Batman cosplay is up to you.
