​I loved Arkham Asylum, and apparently so did Warner Bros. -- at least the sales figures anyways. Not content with simply publishing the sequel, WB just purchased a majority stake in the London based Rocksteady Studios. No details on the percentage acquired or price were revealed, but given the success of Arkham Asylum I'm sure it's no small number.

It's good to see that Warner Bros. and its game publishing subsidiary Warner Bros. Interactive still have faith in the video game industry, despite a pretty rough 2009. I wonder if any of the other big film studios will follow suit?
