Gaylord Hotels and Warner Bros. Discovery Global Experiences have announced DC Summer, a “first-of-its-kind” collaboration coming May 23 through Sept. 1 to Gaylord Texan Resort in Grapevine.
As part of the resort’s annual SummerFest event, Gaylord said this debut partnership will bring 12 action-packed themed experiences that will allow guests to step into a world of legendary DC Super Heroes and notorious Super-Villains “like never before.”

The experiences will feature immersive attractions and family-friendly activities, Gaylord said.
Spanning 17,500 square feet, Gaylord’s Universe of Light Featuring DC will highlight multiple worlds and 40 iconic DC Super Heroes and Super-Villains.
Gaylord said that visitors will enter the DC Universe and discover 1,000 brilliantly crafted lanterns—up to 24 feet tall and made with 30 miles of silk—bringing iconic DC locations and characters from the comic book pages to Gaylord Texan Resort on a larger-than-life scale.

From Batman’s Gotham City and Wonder Woman’s home of Themyscira to Superman’s Metropolis, each display will capture the action and artistry of DC’s “world-renowned storytelling,” Gaylord said.
The attraction will also offer unique photo moments for fans, including a chance to sit inside the Batmobile; an aerial confrontation between Superman and Lex Luthor high above Metropolis; interactive experiences such as exploring Themyscira; an epic battle between the Justice League and an intergalactic foe; and meet-and-greet opportunities with “real-life” DC Super Heroes.
