542 People Dressed Up As Batman And Met In A Park To Set A World Record

Because sure, why not.

Have you ever wondered what 542 people dressed as Batman would look like hanging out together? You're in luck!

542 Batmen set World Record in Calgary #yyc @DCComics @Calgaryexpo

Yesterday, 542 employees of oil and gas firm Nexen dressed up as Batman and met in a park in Calgary, Canada, to set a Guinness World Record for the largest gathering of people dressed as Batman in one place.

542 Batmans gathered together in Calgary to set the Guinness World Record for "The Most Batmans."

The idea was part of the Nexen employees' annual fundraising campaign for the charity United Way.

Fun lunch breaking Guinness World Record with @nexenenergy @unitedwaycgy #yyc #batman #superheroes

However, this is not the first time they have broken a record for gathering together dressed as superheroes. In 2011, 437 of them wore Superman costumes, only to have the record beaten by dastardly British people two years later.

Holy Batmen, Batman! MT @yyccowguy: It's a party at the @nexenenergy @UnitedWayCgy kickoff event in #yyc.
