Nice thanks I ll remove it from post so it doesn't derail thread
This profile posts a lot of interesting stuff, although most of these things he finds on Linkedin, which is funny.
My favourite in the series, and I still remember the beats of a lot of their promo material for it. There's still a lot of money left on the table for Batman games, and I'm looking forward to WB Montreal's effort finally being out in the open after DC Fandome.
Amazing, one of my most favorite games from last gen.
Cant believe they threw away the chance of making a proper sequel to it. Could have been one of SE's strongest western franchises if they continued proper support.
PlayStation/Xbox/Steam took only %30 of that revenue, theaters take about 40-60 of a movie budget, so yeah, Batman in videogames good bussines.
Also, videogames budget always has been smaller than movies budget.

That has the average sale price at $48. Was there DLC or anything? That sounds extremely high to me.
Spider-Man was a good title, Sony marketed the game really well, we didn't have any AAA superhero game since Batman Arkham Knight and Spider-Man is more popular than Batman and on top of that the popularity of the MCU and Spider-Man skyrocketed in the last years.
Activision never cared and they spent the money on COD while relegating Spider-Man to a b-tier series
I feel it was pretty short sighted to abandon it. The game had a ton of goodwill and a was a really strong foundation even if it didn't hit their sales goals.
I so badly wish there was a sequel for me to play.
The WB gaming division is profitable.
They want to sell because when AT&T acquired Warner they went in a massive debt and they want to repay as fast as possible.
WB Games delivered massive hits with the vast majority of their catalogue
But didn't AK have a bunch of refunds on steam and pulled it from steam for a while? That probably effect the sales for AK
Well deserved. It's an amazing game that Ive finished in one sitting on two separate occasions, the second time being with a group of friends in high school who took turns controlling the game. It was one of the most fun gaming experiences Ive ever had.
I don't think it sold as well. Keep in mind that Arkham City has been out a lot longer, has a remastered version and is touted as the best superhero game all time.
Great game. Think Spider-Man on PS4 is better though but it also is a generation later. Just bought Arkham Knight and hope its as good as those two.
Dang! That's huge and with the Nolan trilogy and the already huge following of The Bat this ain't surprising. Only played some bits of the first game and it was quite good. The detective things, the atmosphere. The only thing I really didn't enjoy was the combat BUT it's because I always have Bayonetta or any japanese beat em all (NG/DMC) as the basic lol.
There was DLC (Harley Quinn's Revenge) and they also sold skin packs, but that doesn't seem like the type of DLC that would have sold in massive numbers.
Maybe the revenue figure also includes revenue from PlayStation Plus and the Arkham remasters this generation.
Wait... Where are Ace Attorney Trilogy volume 2 + AA7 then ? What are you doing Capcom ?
Just on my replay of Arkham Asylum and looking forward to Arkham City, such a good sequel that improves on everything
