ABU DHABI – Warner Bros. World Yas Island, Abu Dhabi is bringing the world of DC Super Heroes and Super-Villains to Middle East Film & Comic Con, with fans invited to choose between Superman and his legendary nemesis Lex Luthor.
The three-day event is taking place until 13 September 2026 at ADNEC Centre Abu Dhabi. The theme park’s stand will transform into a slice of Metropolis, offering interactive challenges, character appearances, competitions and exclusive offers inspired by the park’s latest attraction, Kryptonite Collider.
The experience is centred on the latest Superman and Lex Luthor rivalry, following the launch of Kryptonite Collider at Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi this summer. Fans attending Comic Con can step into the action while exploring activities linked to the high-energy attraction.
