And in case you still haven't turned into a full DC Comics nerd after seeing all the artworks and props, there's also a pop-up shop offering nifty superhero-themed souvenirs to take home, and an interactive game zone where visitors can play detective in their very own comic and help the superhero defeat the bad guy!
