Scribblenauts Unmasked: A DC Comics Adventure

Scribblenauts Unmasked is the working title for the next release in the Scribblenauts series of games.

Recent press reports indicate that the game is being developed with a license from DC Comics to include characters from the DC universe.

At one point, Unmasked starred series hero Maxwell, and followed his adventures to aid various DC superheroes.

One source describes a linear level beginning in the sewers beneath Wayne Manor where a hungry Killer Croc won’t let Max proceed. When a hamburger isn’t enough, a dynamite sandwich sends Croc into a rage leading to his arrest. Robin keeps the situation under control, allowing Max to make his way inside Wayne Manor (where Batman has been manipulated by The Joker) before discovering Batgirl’s capture in the Batcave.

In another situation, Max encounters two police officers, and must decipher which one is legit and which is actually Clayface. An X-ray exposes the villain, and when handcuffs fail to stop the sludge-monster, a freeze-gun does the trick.

Other DC characters who at least once appeared in Scribblenauts Unmasked include Aquaman and Black Manta, both of whom appear in Atlantis, a separate area with new puzzles for the player to solve. Harley Quinn and Mr. Freeze appeared in various puzzles, as well.

Further details are likely to be revealed later this year at the Electronic Entertainment Expo, which takes place in June.
