For comic book film lovers, sometimes the Blu-Ray debate is a tough one. On the one hand, Blu-Ray is becoming more and more prevalent due to the PS3 — on the other hand, though, why give up your existing DVDs to buy a more expensive Blu-Ray copy of the same thing?
Well, for at least some of these genre offerings, Warner Bros. is offering a compromise with their DVD2Blu program — trade in your DVDs for their Blu-Ray counterparts for a discounted price.
Relevant titles for our crowd include A Clockwork Orange, Constantine, Dark City, A History of Violence, Golden Compass, Lost Boys, The Orphange, Pan’s Labyrinth, A Scanner Darkly, Superman 2: The Richard Donner Cut, Superman Returns, The Shining, and 2001: A Space Odyssey.

this is great news. and so far, there’s nothing on there that I have already bought on Blu-Ray, which makes me quite happy. I plan on getting A Christmas Story, Christmas Vacation, Superman II, and Pan’s Labyrinth.

Hey… Don’t offer up anything people might actually WANT, WB. Um… The two Nolan Batman movies, the Harry Potter movies, or maybe even the 1978 Superman.
OK… That’s not entirely fair. Pan’s, 2001, and A Clockwork Orange or all great movies. The Golden Compass (and its two sequels) is one of my favorite BOOKS ever, but the film sure disappointed. Awfully nice to look at, and one helluva cast, but they bungled the script and many of the ideas the book was trying to get across.
There’s plenty of great, older classics in the WB library that should be offfered up too. I guess it’s just a start, but nothing here is making me rush to go buy a Blu-Ray player just yet.
