Batman Boosts Warner Revenues to $12bn
Batman does more than rescue innocent civilians from harm in Gotham City - he's also responsible for beefing up revenues for Time Warner's Filmed Entertainment division. Rocksteady's Arkham City was among a number of strong releases from Warner Bros Interactive Entertainment that helped bring the firm's full-year figures to $12.6 billion.

The figure is a rise of 9 per cent year-on-year. While the company said that the primary driving force for this rise was in cinema and DVD releases of the two chapters of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, video games were highlighted as a big contributor.

Arkham City shipped more than 6 million units worldwide and was one of the Top 10 best-selling games in the US. Mortal Kombat and the LEGO series also showed strong signs of success, according to the company's financial report.
