An article on the L.A. Times marks the console launch of Batman: Arkham City by talking with WBIE president Martin Tremblay (thanks supererogatory), who reveals some previously undisclosed game plans, including a seeming confirmation of indications of a Hobbit movie tie-in, word on a LEGO Batman sequel, as well as a DC superhero game that remains shrouded in mystery for the time being:

Warner will launch a new Lord of the Rings game in November and a Hobbit title in 2012 before Peter Jackson's movie "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" comes out that December. The game is one of the studio's top releases for next year, along with a Lego Batman sequel and a game featuring a superhero from Warner's DC Comics unit that Tremblay wouldn't name. The company also is targeting younger players with a second Lego Harry Potter in November and casual online games based on Warner characters being made at a new development studio in Montreal.
