Last weekend, The World's Greatest Fans of DC Comics gathered together to help set a World Record that would count the most number of people dressed as their favorite DC Super Heroes... And one of the participating countries was our very own Philippines!
So here we go with the Recap: The World of DC Comics Super Hero World Record Philippines event!
In what is surely the most EPIC gathering of DC Comics fans ever in one place, Justice PH joined forces with Pacific Licensing, Creatif, SM City North EDSA, SM Supermalls, and the rest of the sponsors and organizers of the World of DC Comics Philippines celebration to bring together the "DC Comics Super Hero World Record" event! Together with more than 10 countries in the world, the Philippines - the ONLY Southeast Asian country participating in the celebration, was ready and on hand to be among thousands trying to break the world record, and it all went down on April 18, Saturday, at The Block, Atrium area of SM City North EDSA!
With hundreds of people joining, kids and adults from all walks of life converged to be part of the DC World Record! There were cosplayers dressed as fan-favorites like Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, and Green Lantern, while others went for the more interesting choices like Booster Gold, Cyborg, and even Hawkgirl! The Teen Titans were also in attendance... And even characters from the graphic novel Watchmen and Sgt. Rock! All gathered to take part for the official World Record count, and later on see the finalists of the DC Super Hero Cosplay Competition showcase their talent and costumes for an epic final contest that saw three winners emerge!
