I saw this on tv, actually....the local WB kids show had one of the hosts dressed up as Robin as the official confirmation came through. The highlight for me was a guy dressed up very convincingly as Batman chastising said Robin for calling him 'Bats'. 
Go Aussie heroes!

Wouldn't this record be broken every year at DragonCon? Or maybe they don't count catgirls, although those could be Catwoman?
My friend was at this, with his 4 year old son. The son was dressed as Batman (and looks well cool), my mate was dressed as Robin (because he's a weirdo).
Damnit! I was in London, from the US and I did not know about this, I could have attended the London one!

Dont even remember anything being mentioned about this last week | The new world record beats the old one by less than a week, after 1091 superheroes turned up at a rugby tournament at Twickenham Stadium in London last weekend. |

Not always true. She has been portrayed as a heroic character from time to time.

If DragonCon did hold a special event for this, the "Catwomen" alone would beat that world record.
Melbourne Australia Apparently!
Superheroes break record in Melbourne May 29, 2010 - 3:24PM
AAP
Forget the 1956 Olympics or the opening of the Australian Parliament in 1901 - Saturday, May 29, 2010 is the day Melbourne entered the Guinness Book of Records.
The city's Federation Square saw 1245 people break the world record for the most number of people dressed in superhero costume, in one place at one time.
The CBD was no place for bad guys on Saturday with Superman, Batman, Robin, Wonder Woman, the Green Lantern and other comic book heroes portrayed hundreds of times over by people of all ages, genders, shapes and sizes.
The managing director of Warner Bros. Consumer Products in Australia, Preston Lewis, shouted triumphantly in his American accent: "We did it, we broke the record my brother.
"To see all those people, young and old, families, babies in Fed Square was great, they were so enthusiastic," he told AAP.
"Whenever you were born, people have a connection with those characters and grew up with them."
The world-record attempt was part of the 75th anniversary celebrations for DC Comics, which began publishing in 1935.
The new world record beats the old one by less than a week, after 1091 superheroes turned up at a rugby tournament at Twickenham Stadium in London last weekend.
The record before that was set last year in the US with 1017 people dressed as superheroes, but Mr Lewis says he is sure no one will try and break Saturday's record for a while.
