The Warner Bros. Studio Lot expansion is notable for its centerpieces: Harry Potter’s closet under the stairs, Batman’s secret cave and Harry Potter’s cabinet under the stairs.
Warner Bros. Studio Tour Hollywood reopened last year, more than a decade after it was closed due to the coronavirus pandemic. Attendees will now have the opportunity to see the studio’s almost 100-years of filmmaking and television history, including the DC Universe and Harry Potter.
The tour opened in June, and a firsthand view was taken at the Southern California studio.
Officials at Warner Bros. said that the Burbank expansion, which includes a new building, took five years to build. Officials state that the studio tour will adhere to all federal, state and city COVID-19 safety protocols.
Patty Jenkins, the director of Wonder Woman, said that Warner Brothers’ incredible history of epic films is one of the greatest things about the company. She helped to reopen the tour.
These are just a few of the key features of the tour:
SHOWCASE OF STORYTELLING
There will be plenty of opportunities to take selfies at the replicated, iconic “WB” water tower. Visitors can also walk along an aerial view the vast studio lot. Walls are covered with mementos from the studio’s TV animation titles dating back to 1923. This room features photos from classic films like “Casablanca”, “Little Caesar” and others.
The wall features the Oscar-winning film, “Million Dollar Baby”, and Hilary Swank’s boxing gloves. The boots and hat of J.R. Ewing from “Dallas”, a television series, are also displayed. The exhibit also features miniature soundstages that bear the words “PLEASE DON’T SIT” throughout.
DC UNIVERSE
You will be able to enter the world of DC villains and heroes from behind the scenes. The Batcave is a fascinating feature. Here guests can find the original Batmobile from Tim Burton’s “Batman,” as well as the Tumbler and Batwing from “Batman V. Superman.”
On display are costumes worn by Superman (Batman, Wonder Woman and Aquaman), as well as the Flash. Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn costume and Jared Leto’s Joker costumes from “Suicide Squad” are two other highlights. Lynda Carter’s Wonder Woman costume and Michael Keaton’s suit from 1989’s film “Batman” are also on display.
Visitors can touch the glowing Lasso Of Hestia in an interactive experience.
Patty Jenkins, director of the “Wonder Woman”, said that she enjoyed seeing costumes from her films and the other DC characters in the exhibit.
