Gotham City is a themed land at Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi, as well as various Six Flags parks. The area is inspired by the dirty industrial city portrayed in Batman comics, and hosts attractions themed to this concept, including Batman's Night Flight, and The Joker Funhouse.[1][2] Gotham City features dark imposing warehouses, and faux crumbing amusement park rides.
During the grand opening ceremony on 26 July 2018, the park was inaugurated by Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai His Highness Sheikh

When building the park, the creative team wanted to build something that had never been seen before. Since the park is entirely indoors the team was able to create a more intricate thematic experience for guests which better reflected the grittiness of Gotham City from the comics.
