BURBANK, CA – April 9, 2026 – Warner Bros. Discovery Global Experiences, in collaboration with DC Studios, today announced Superman Experience: Defenders Unite, a brand-new walkthrough experience and live gameplay attraction, will launch on Superman Day – April 18, 2026 – at Stage 5 on the iconic Warner Bros. Studios lot. Presented by Warner Bros. Studio Tour Hollywood, Superman Experience offers guests the ability to 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. Fans can visit SupermanExperience.com now to secure tickets.

Superman Experience features an original storyline, created and exclusively for the attraction, which brings guests into a world inspired by James Gunn’s 2025 blockbuster film “Superman.” Inside the Fortress of Solitude, guests are recruited by Superman himself and receive Kryptonian abilities to utilize in a critical mission. 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.

“Superman Experience offers guests a unique experience to step into the world of DC’s storytelling in an incredibly fun and immersive way,” said Danny Kahn, Vice President and General Manager of Warner Bros. Studio Tour Hollywood. “This new attraction unites Global Experiences, Warner Bros. Studio Tour Hollywood, and DC Studios, so fans can create memories while celebrating the world’s greatest Super Hero.”

Throughout Superman Experience, guests will have their scores logged and displayed in real-time as family-friendly competition increases the stakes while training and fighting off Darkseid’s invasion.

The experience’s central hub – focused on the Fortress of Solitude – will feature interactive mini games, unique props, and social-media worthy photo opportunities including: 

• 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

Guests can also grab a beverage or themed snack at the Fortress of Solitude lounge and shop for exclusive merchandise within a new Daily Planet-themed retail store. A new comic book, exclusive to Superman Experience, will be available for fans to purchase on-site from DC. The custom comic, Superman: Defenders Unite, is written by Josh Trujillo with a cover art by Bernard Chang.

Superman Experience is a separate ticketed attraction from Warner Bros. Studio Tour Hollywood and is also sold as an “add-on” to the renowned Studio Tour. Parking is available at Warner Bros. Studio Tour Hollywood, where guests will be shuttled to Stage 5 from the Studio Tour’s Welcome Center.
