The new Scribblenauts-DC Comics crossover that we heard about has been officially announced. Looks awesome. The developers say that the game will feature over 2000 characters from the comics.

The IGN article covers the same basic things, but also notes how you can summon Mogo. I'm definitely getting this.

I'm not very knowledgable on DC (beyond Injustice, Arkham games, and years of amassing useless trivia) but I love Scribblenauts... hoo boy. A bio for every character? I'll probably get this, because I do love crazy crossovers.

Now I'm wondering if the generic Scribblenauts versions of public domain characters like Dracula or Zeus will be completely replaced by DC versions or if the two would coexist.

[up] It seems like the focus of the game is just on DC-related objects. You can get generic stuff that would be in the world, like cars, but from the looks of things this is more "Scribblenauts in the DCU" than it is "Scribblenauts including a bunch of stuff from the DCU".

My question is, why aren't you playing as Green Lantern in this game? Or at the very least, Maxwell with a Green Lantern power ring. Seriously, it's so obvious.

Maxwell's notebook > green lantern ring

Actually I can't think of anything superpowers could do that isn't already doable in Unlimited.

Not a big fan of DCU (heck, I don't really know much about it). As such, I'm probably going to sit this one out unless it offers a lot of improvements over Unlimited.

King was an adjective in the previous games (and a noun. "King King" was fun to make)

Well, adjectives are confirmed, so I wouldn't be surprised if King returned.

The only thing I'm a little disappointed about is the fact that I know way more about Marvel than DC, so I'm probably not going to be able to go obscure enough to stump the dictionary. sad

I've come to the decision that I will always have a miniature version of Woozie Winks strapped to Maxwell's back when I play this game. Also he'll be an Indigo Lantern. Just because I can.

A trailer was shown at E3 2013. And it is awesome.

A big army of heroes and villains fighting, and Lily being a Batman fangirl? Yes please.

As someone who's read a ton of pre-new 52 DC comics, I'm definitely excited for this. I'm guessing the former. I'm probably going to spend the first few days just trying to spawn every character I know. I wonder if the 2000+ characters includes alternate versions of the same character or if it's 2000+ unique characters.

It seems like the focus of the game is just on DC-related objects. You can get generic stuff that would be in the world, like cars, but from the looks of things this is more "Scribblenauts in the DCU" than it is "Scribblenauts including a bunch of stuff from the DCU".

Is there any evidence for this? From what I've seen, it looks like you can still summon the same things you would be able to in the previous games. For example, they did "God" in a Gamespot preview/interview.

The North American release date has been announced, by the way.

I don't think I've ever been excited for a casual game before.

I hope they have the weirdest characters from Morrison's run of Doom Patrol. Like the Brotherhood of Dada, or Danny the Street.

Demo with IGN.

Someone asks if all five Robins are in the game. Our developer thread smacks that question down. There are 10 Robins in the game! Damian Wayne, Bizarro Robin, Carrie Kelly, Dick Grayson, Jason Todd, Stephanie Brown, Red Robin pre-New 52, Red Robin post-New 52, and Earth 2 Robin.

Take that DC Comics! :P

[up]This game is going to be freaking incredible.

Even without that, how many games let you have Aquaman fight William Shakespeare in space while both of them ride T-rexs?

I'm most interested in trying out characters with more unique abilities and equipment, like Mirror Master and Ragman.

Nah, he means Quiz from Morrison's Doom Patrol. It'll be awesome if they actually go that obscure.
