Warner Bros. wants to get more heavily involved in the game publishing business, and has put plans in motion to take back key licenses, including Harry Potter, The Sopranos, and Batman. The company's goal, as Ron Scott told MCV, is to become a billion-dollar division of the company in five years.

Warner is taking this push seriously, ready to invest heavily in game development and poach talent whenever and wherever possible:

Give us a decent Superman game and we'll love you for life, Warner Bros.
