The Dark Knight rises in Canada

It was certainly a na-na-na-na-na-na of an event when 542 people turned up at a park in Calgary, Canada on Friday.

The employees of oil and gas firm Nexen dressed up as the favourite superhero to set a Guinness World Record for the largest gathering of people dressed as Batman in one place.

It was certainly a celebration of all things 'Dark Knight'.

This is not the first time the company got up close and personal with superheroes.

Last year the company was paid a visit by Marvel and DC comics in support of their United Way fundraiser.

This is a dire need in Malaysia due to the country’s fast growth rate in mobile banking and e-money transactions, which quadrupled to RM800 billion in 2021.
