Updated with full press release:
BURBANK, Calif. – May 15, 2013 – Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment announces Scribblenauts Unmasked – A DC Comics Adventure, a new game that melds the boundless creativity of the award–winning video game franchise with thousands of DC Comics™ characters and objects across DC Comics worlds – all drawn in the classic Scribblenauts art style. Created and developed by 5TH Cell, the game will be available for the Wii U™ system, Nintendo 3DS™ hand-held system and PC in North and South America and Australia this fall.
Scribblenauts Unmasked features a story where players embark as protagonist Maxwell on an imaginative and comical quest, taking them through GOTHAM CITY™, METROPOLIS™, ATLANTIS™ and other iconic locales from the DC Comics universe. In the game, Maxwell comes to the aid of BATMAN™, SUPERMAN™ and the rest of THE JUSTICE LEAGUE™ as they face the mightiest DC Comics Super Villains, such as THE JOKER™, LEX LUTHOR™ and SINESTRO™. Fueled by the player’s imagination, Maxwell must use his magic notebook to put a stop to the villains’ evil schemes and save the day!
Expanding on the video game franchise’s innovation, Scribblenauts Unmasked features for the first time dynamically created puzzles called Heroic Feats that increase the game’s replayability by continuously generating original scenarios requiring different solutions with each visit.
“Scribblenauts Unmasked includes action-packed missions with fan favorite DC Comics Super Heroes adding to the players’ puzzle solving experience as the beloved Maxwell ,” said Samantha Ryan, Senior Vice President, Production and Development, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. “Challenges in the game encourage broader player choices all set in well-known locations of the DC Comics universe, interacting in new and inventive ways with a wide range of popular DC Comics characters.”
“Fans of both DC Comics and Scribblenauts can really let their imaginations run wild with the Super Hero Creator inScribblenauts Unmasked,” said Jeremiah Slaczka, C.E.O. and Creative Director of 5TH Cell. “Players will be challenged to craft new and never-before-seen characters such as Wonder Joker or Bane Lantern and use them to solve puzzles or share them with friends.”
A new Super Hero Creator tool available on Wii U and PC elevates the game’s creativity by giving players the ability to produce their own Super Hero or Super Villain using any item from the DC Comics universe and then setting properties for how it behaves, changing its appearance and powers. Players can then share their creations with the community and download others.

That trailer is epic! I really like Scribblenauts, and having the DC universe in the game is a sweet direction for the next installment to take!

Maybe, just maybe, 5th Cell should concentrate on getting Unlimited released in Europe before they go off making new games. Just a thought. -.-

That’s right, I forgot … a shame as we’ve had the game for months here in the States. Sorry bout that :(

Yeah, at this point, I’m really not even sure what the problem is. The game was recalled in February, surely that’s enough time to fix whatever the problem was? :O

Um, I agree with you guys. They should be focusing on sending Scribblenauts Unlimited to Europe. But a Scribblenauts DC game? That does not sound like a ” creative, do whatever you want” game. This seems like DC was looking for a company to yet make ANOTHER DC game, and I guess they paid a good amount to 5th Cell. This seems like a complete show off game, but I will only get it if there is an object editor for the 3DS version, and if it features a mode where you can create and edit your own favorite superheroes.

I’ll wait for the Marvel variant.
