Calgary in Canada has broken the world record for the most number of 'Batmans' in a single place. 

According to reports, 542 employees of Nexen dressed up as the Dark Knight and set the Guiness world record for "The Largest Gathering of People dressed as Batman'. The event was conducted to kick off Nexen's 2014 United Way campaign, said Newswire.ca.

And that's not all. Three years back, the company brought together a whole lot of people dressed up as Superman.
