Theme parks regularly feature superhero attractions, from the Guardians of the Galaxy ride at EPCOT to Marvel’s Super Hero Island at Universal’s Islands of Adventure. But could we see even more iconic characters joining Universal's lineup soon?
According to Bloomberg, Warner Bros. Discovery Inc. is considering licensing its DC comic book characters to theme park operators for new rides. This opens up possibilities for superheroes like Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, and Aquaman.

Universal has expressed interest in DC Comics before; the original plan for Islands of Adventure featured a DC Super Hero Land, with Superman's Metropolis and Batman's Gotham City becoming key aspects. However, those plans were shelved over financial issues.
