Welcome back! Just to recap for any new members, each week I will post what is due out that week (or at least most of the main stream releases, as anywhere from 100-300 DVDs are released each week). I'll then spotlight a DVD with a review or news about a new one coming out. Finally, I'll post a DVD easter egg or two each week. Many of you might already know of them, but they are fun things to find "hidden" on your DVDs.

Lot's of Batman this week...for the record, they are re-releasing the first four Batman movies again. Look in the DVD Info section for more on those. Also, for those that collect alternate covers of everything, Best Buy will have an exclusive lenticular cover on their stock of the Deluxe Edition Batman Begins DVDs.

DVD releases due out Tuesday, Oct 18th:
