Wow. I'm pretty sure if you typed "over nine thousand" in the first Scribblenauts it would make a monocle (obviously meat to be a Scouter from DBZ). So they can sue them for that, too.
From what I understand, the bigger problem seems to be that Warner Brothers advertised the fact that Nyan Cat and Keyboard Cat were in the game rather than the two characters simply existing in the game's code. That would also be the reason why nobody made any fuss about the first two games having meme words/characters; Warner Brothers never acknowledged their existence.

This is ridiculous. Ever hear of an homage? What would the damages be in the lawsuit anyway? No one bought the game for the stupid cat, and the game isn't taking sales away from any other product that has the cat.
You know that memes are made so people can use it freely (curelycopyleft or creative Commons License) and 5th cell used them with a commercial use. I wouldnt like to create a good internet trend and see how people use it to win money and even don't be asked permission to use them.
