I normally don't report on title announcements, but this year is Warner Brothers' 85th Anniversary and they have announced a slew of titles as part of their anniversary celebration. Some of these are titles we've been expecting, but others are part of 9 newly announced promotions! Here's the breakdown of the catalog titles announced for Blu-ray, according to Bill Hunt, over at The Digital Bits:
Oscar Promotion and Gangster Promotion (starting in Q1):
- Bonnie and Clyde: Ultimate Collector's Edition
Sinatra Promotion and Dirty Harry Promotion (starting in Q2):
- Dirty Harry
- Magnum Force
- The Enforcer
- Sudden Impact
- Dead Pool
- Dirty Harry: Ultimate Collector's Edition boxset (with all the above titles)
Superhero Promotion, Western Promotion, and Music Promotion (starting in Q3):
- Batman Begins: Limited Collector's Edition
- Batman Anthology Boxset (all the Batman films)
- How the West Was Won
Horror Promotion and Holiday Promotion (starting in Q4):

Warner promises that many more catalog titles will be announced throughout the year, and that this is just "the tip of the iceberg." Even better, starting in late summer, Warner's goal is to release a Blu-ray disc version of EVERY new special edition DVD they release from that point on!
