The southern Illinois city of Metropolis is attempting to set a Superman record.
Organizers of the yearly festival honoring Superman, hope to enter the record books for having the most people dressed up as Superman at one time.
The mark now stands at 437, but there’s competition. Yesterday 566 people were dressed as the superhero in Chicago. The event was tied to the new Superman movie.
The Metropolis Festival gets underway today. There are around 6,500 residents living in the little Ohio River Community.
