Warner Bros. Consumer Products and DC Entertainment target world record Cosplay

Warner Bros. Consumer Products (WBCP) and DC Entertainment (DCE) have planned to create a world record for the largest gathering of people dressed as DC Comics Super Heroes held at multiple venues across the world within 24 hours.

This one of a kind event will take place on 18 April 2015 starting off with Queensland in Australia and will end in Los Angeles, USA. “Warner Bros. Consumer Products is thrilled to team up with partners around the world to set the world record for the most people dressed as DC Comics Super Heroes. We invite fans of all ages to come out for this exciting family event and don their capes, cowls and masks to represent their favorite DC Comics Super Hero,” said Warner Bros. Consumer Products president Brad Globe.

Fans will gather to celebrate with interactive games and activities inspired by the world of DC Comics before they will commence to attempt at setting a world record. The DC Comics Super Hero World Record Event cities unveiled, include: Birmingham (UK), Cardiff (UK), Kaohsiung (Taiwan), Lille (France), London (UK), Los Angeles (USA), Lyon (France), Madrid (Spain), Manila (Philippines), Mexico City (Mexico), Paris (France), Queensland (Australia), Rome (Italy), Sao Paulo (Brazil) and Warrington (UK).

To participate in setting this heroic world record, DC Comics fans must dress from head-to-toe as an instantly recognised Super Hero that has been featured in a DC Comics published book, television program or film. The DC Comics Super Hero universe includes Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Green Lantern, Batgirl, Supergirl, Aquaman, Cyborg, Robin, Green Arrow, and many more. Both homemade costumes as well as official costumes from licensees and official event retail partners will be considered as long as they are a full representation of the Super Hero and are as close to the original DC Comics’ Super Hero’s costume as possible.

The record will be set only if participants stay there for a full five minutes. WBCP will be working closely with retail and licensing partners in each of the markets to offer merchandise and promotional support.

Before the event there will be many contests such as Best Super Hero Post photo contest and Best Super Hero Photo Bomb. DC Comics enthusiasts will also be able to compare and preview their costumes with a ‘Costume Preview Polling’ contest presented by event organisers on social media.
