Can’t wait for San Diego Comic-Con to dust off that Booster Gold outfit? Well, trusted cosplayer, DC Comics is giving you the chance to scratch that itch while making comic history.
DC announced has announced that they’re attempting to set a world record for the largest gathering of people dressed as DC Comics superheroes. That’s a lot of duct tape and face paint. DC will try achieving this lofty goal by hosting multiple venues across the world within a 24 hour period, where the appropriately-dressed DC faithful can amass.

The event will start on April 18 in the following locations:
Birmingham, UK
ยท Cardiff, UK
ยท Kaohsiung, Taiwan
ยท Lille, France
ยท London, UK
ยท Los Angeles, CA, USA
ยท Lyon, France
ยท Madrid, Spain
ยท Manila, Philippines
ยท Mexico City, Mexico
ยท Paris, France
ยท Queensland, Australia
ยท Rome, Italy
ยท Sao Paulo, Brazil
ยท Warrington, UK
From there, the rules are pretty straight-forward. Dress up as a “instantly recognized super hero” (guess that leaves out Ambush Bug), show up at the designated location, and stay put for five minutes so your presence can be tallied for the record. DC is also sweetening the pot with planned costume contests, sweepstakes, and more.
We don’t know about you, but this seems like a perfect photo-bomb opportunity from a Deadpool cosplayer.
