Scribble Anything' Takes on Gotham City

In what promises to be one of the most anticipated releases of 2013, developer 5th Cell is teaming up with Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment to bring DC Comics' iconic heroes and villains into their critically-acclaimed Scribble Anywhere franchise - but this time around it's not just any old characters that are making an appearance.

As previously announced at E3 earlier in the year, Scribblenauts Unmasked: A DC Comics Adventure will be coming exclusively to Nintendo Wii U, Nintendo 3DS and PC later this year. But what exactly does this mean for fans of both series?

For those who may not know (and if you don't then quite frankly where have you been?), the Scribblenauts franchise has become known for its unique blend of puzzle-solving gameplay with an added twist - instead of simply running around collecting collectibles or completing objectives, players are given a seemingly endless supply of in-game currency which they can use to 'scribble' any object into existence.

Yes, you heard me right. Anything. Want a giant purple elephant? No problem! How about the entire cast of Game Of Thrones armed with swords and shields ready for battle at your beck-and-call? Easy peasy!

But this latest installment takes things up another notch entirely - thanks to an exclusive deal struck between 5th Cell and DC Comics themselves, players will now be able to unleash their inner comic book heroes (or villains) by summoning over 2000 different characters from across the entire DC Universe into the world of Scribblenauts.

That's right folks; not just your standard-issue Superman or Batman here - we're talking about every single interpretation, variant and iteration of these iconic superheroes that you could possibly imagine. Want to see Supergirl take on Darkseid? No problem! How about Green Lantern facing off against Lex Luthor in an epic battle for control over the Justice League's headquarters? Piece of cake!

And it doesn't stop there either - as well as being able to call upon some truly legendary heroes from across DC Comics' vast library, Scribblenauts Unmasked will also feature a host of equally iconic villains including Harley Quinn, The Joker and even none other than the man himself; Batman.

But what about new content you ask? Well fear not dear readers - as well as all 2000+ characters mentioned above (yes that's two thousand plus!), Scribble Anywhere fans will also be treated to an exclusive bonus pack containing some truly special in-game goodies including:

- A brand-new playable character based on none other than the Caped Crusader himself

- Access to a host of unique Bat-themed items and vehicles straight from DC Comics' own back catalogues

And if all that wasn't enough, Scribblenauts Unmasked: A DC Comics Adventure will also feature a special guest appearance by legendary comic book writer and artist Jim Zub who has been working closely with 5th Cell to ensure that this latest installment of the series stays truest possible to its source material.

So what are you waiting for? Get ready to unleash your inner superhero (or supervillain!) in Scribblenauts Unmasked: A DC Comics Adventure - coming soon exclusively to Nintendo Wii U, 3DS and PC later this year!
