Given the huge success of Sony’s Spider-Man games, trying to lock down Batman and other DC characters (with LOTR and Harry Potter as nice bonuses) would make a certain amount of sense, although only if the licensing can be worked out. Of course, as always, take whatever Pachter says with a grain of salt. He’s in a position to hear things, but he also does his fair share of off-the-cuff speculating. That said, this talk of buying WB Interactive isn’t entirely without basis. Warner Bros. recently merged with Discovery, and word is the new company is looking to cut costs and redundancies. Former Game Informer writer and sometimes insider Imran Khan claims to have heard chatter that WB is shopping around its game studios again (they tried to sell them previously, before reneging on the plan).
