In May Australians gathered en masse and in costume to break the world record for the most people dressed as superheroes in one place at the same time.

Melbourne's gathered heroes numbered 1,245, and now it looks like someone in Hollywood wants to top that -- based on ads on Yelp and Craigslist. Here are the details:

Los Angeles, Ca plans to top Australia's record of 1245 people on August 27, 2010.

Come in costume as your favorite superhero or character and remember it is welcome to families and kids too!

The more people attending the better the chances of stealing Australia's title!

Arrive between 12:30 PM - 12:45 PM at the intersection of Hollywood & Highland IN COSTUME on August 27. Anyone arriving after 1:00 PM will not be counted as a part of the World Record attempt.
