I’ve broken up this update into two parts – the first is new TV shows on DVD and the second is for the movies.

Posted below is a ton of new and catalog releases from Warner Bros. and it shows just how much stuff they put out. I think the only way to compare the other major studios is to put them all together in one article as they don’t even come close to putting out what WB does.

Most images can be clicked on for a hi-res version, look for more cover art this weekend.
