The battle for Gotham City and Metropolis is set to resume on the Gold Coast, with Warner Bros. Movie World confirming the return of the popular DC Super Heroes and Super-Villains event for 2026.
While official dates for the 2026 season are yet to be announced, the event traditionally takes place during the winter school holiday period.
In previous years, the celebration has taken place from late June through mid-July, offering guests three weeks of immersive heroic action.
What to Expect
The 2026 event promises to bring the DC Universe to life with a packed schedule of entertainment. Fans can look forward to the return of the DC Super Heroes Parade, which traditionally makes its way down Main Street at 5pm, featuring some iconic vehicles and a massive assembly of heroes and villains.
Guests can expect to encounter legendary characters throughout the park, including:
- The Justice League: Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, and Green Lantern.
- Fan Favourites: Robin and Krypto the Superdog.
- Formidable Villains: Lex Luthor, The Joker, Harley Quinn, and Two-Face.
The event is also known for its high-energy street shows and "epic" musical performances that transform the park into a live-action comic book.
New Faces for 2026
Warner Bros. Movie World has teased that the 2026 iteration will feature "new faces" from the DC Universe. This aligns with the global momentum surrounding the DC brand, including the theatrical release of the Supergirl film scheduled for June 2026. Visitors may see a heightened presence of characters like Kara Zor-El (Supergirl) and her canine companion, Krypto, during the festivities.
Included with Admission
One of the most appealing aspects of this event for families and fans is the value. DC Super Heroes and Super-Villains is typically included with standard daily admission to Warner Bros. Movie World. This means ticket holders and Village Roadshow One Pass members can experience the special shows, meet-and-greets, and parades at no additional cost.
The event provides the perfect backdrop for fans to "suit up," with the park encouraging guests of all ages to dress as their favourite characters.
