Lego Batman 2, Hobbit tie-in incoming

Lego Batman 2 and a videogame based on Peter Jackson's impending The Hobbit movie are among Warner Bros Interactive's plans for 2012, the publisher has revealed.

WBI's president Martin Tremblay mentioned the two games in an LA Times interview, along with a mystery title featuring a DC Comics character.

It also has a number of casual online titles in development for younger players at a new Montreal studio, based on various Warner brands.

The first Lego Batman title launched back in 2008, picking up a very respectable 8/10 from Eurogamer's Dan Whitehead.

The publisher has had a pretty impressive 2011 so far, with Mortal Kombat, hit downloadable RPG Bastion and Batman: Arkham City all under its belt.
