Moloshok won't say which other Warner Bros. characters will find an interactive home at Entertaindom. But he'll have a lot to choose from: Batman, Bugs Bunny, and Roadrunner, to name just a few. Also, Brilliant Digital is contributing properties of its own, like Xena: Warrior Princess. Another multipath movie involves the rock group Kiss.
