January 15, 2015: DC Comics Inspired Casino in China

Casino Macau's Studio City has licensed an 'unrivaled portfolio' of DC Comics and Warner Bros. characters to build a new $3.2 billion resort opening in the Chinese city of Macau.

    The complex is set to open in mid-2015, with a "Batman Dark Flight" attraction billed as an "action-packed motion ride" that lets visitors "fly through Gotham City, following Batman ... as he brings some the most notable Super-Villains from his Rogue's Gallery to justice." Other DC Comics superheroes have also been licensed for Studio City - children can "[climb] on structures with Batman and Superman and [drive] go-karts with Wonder Woman and The Flash."

    Attractions are even built into the building itself, with the resort's creators Melco Crown Entertainment claiming that a 130-meter-high ferris wheel located in the building's central tower was inspired by the image of "two asteroids shooting through a Gotham City building."
