"Look, up in the sky!" No, it's neither a bird nor a plane — it's hundreds of drones forming the "Wonder Woman" logo.

In Los Angeles last night (Sept. 14), people looking skyward over Dodger Stadium witnessed an illuminated display celebrating a comic book superhero. But it wasn't the Bat Signal sending out a distress call for Batman — it was a fleet of 300 lit-up drones performing choreographed maneuvers to spell out Wonder Woman's trademark "W" symbol.

The dynamic light show was produced by Warner Bros. in partnership with Intel's drone team, for the "Wonder Woman" film's U.S. release on Blu-ray, scheduled for Tuesday (Sept. 19), Syfy Wire reported.
