We don’t really see much of Jim Carrey nowadays, but in the mid-90’s the actor was everywhere. His breakout year came in 1994 when he starred in three incredibly beloved comedies: Ace Venture: Pet Detective; Dumb and Dumber and The Mask, loosely based on the comic book series published by Dark Horse.

This add-on will provide yet another short level to complete on top of Bizarro (backwards) versions of popular DC characters like…
