So, have you ever asked yourself: "Gee, I wonder how many Batmen can fit in one place?" Well, it turns out the answer is a rather robust 542. That's a whole lotta spandex in one place...

According to an article on IGN, Nexen, an oil and gas company based in Calgary, had 542 of its employees dress as the Caped Crusader and gather at a local park. The Guinness World Record-breaking stunt was done in an effort to boost the company's United Way campaign, the theme of the campaign being "From Suits to Superheroes."

I must say it most refreshing to see a corporation, and a good portion of its employees, get behind such a fun, frivolous endeavor as this. All for a good cause, I suppose.

And I also guess there can never be enough Batmen to go around. Even if many of them are paunchy desk-jockeys.
