Anyone who's already exhausted Disney and Universal's parks and resorts will be thrilled to hear that a huge Warner Bros World is being built in Abu Dhabi – and it sounds incredible.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the park will have six themed worlds – including one for Batman's Gotham and another for Superman's Metropolis.

The two areas dedicated to the DC Comics universe will feature "towering skyscrapers", while early concept art shows Gotham's portion of the park having additional themed content for The Joker, The Riddler and Mr Freeze.

But that's not all – any fans of Looney Tunes and Hanna-Barbera out there? Well, they'll also be incorporated into dedicated zones called Cartoon Junction, Bedrock and Dynamite Gulch.

And there'll be another area called Warner Bros Plaza, which will recreate the Art Deco style of old Hollywood.

We are gagging with excitement.

Meanwhile, Jared Leto is teasing DC fans that they'll soon see a proper showdown between The Joker and Batman on the big screen...
