I was unable to find a clear list of Dolby Vision UHD blu Rays. Are the discs even labeled?

The two confirmed titles that I know of are:
Despicable Me
Despicable Me 2

Are there others?

I am also unable to find confirmed Dolby Vision information for The Lego Batman Movie UHD blu ray.

I hope this is helpful. Thanks for posting!

I noted the back cover of the Batman Lego Movie does not note the Dolby Vision on it. Not sure how Warner is communicating this to consumers.

They are not. I read somewhere that they are concerned it would just add further confusion to the consumers around 4K. So there will be nothing but maybe a Dolby Vision logo on the box. It will still just say HDR on the front. Since it is a lot trickier to even get it running at this point since only a couple players support it and no receivers today will do pass-through. Although several receivers are slated to get the upgrade if they are 2016-2017 models. Given that maybe 10% or less of the 4K base can actually play DV discs why confuse the average customer.

Is Dolby Vision a 4K only feature? Meaning a 3D disc will never have it? That's surprising the receivers can't do a pass thru.

Yes, it is only 4K, it is basically HDR10 but instead of applied once for the whole film it can be tweaked for every frame. It is a proprietary format that vendors have to pay Dolby to use. Honestly when Dynamic HDR comes out I think it kills DV but I also predicted that DV would just be a streaming only format. It requires code/firmware or hardware to pass through. Most gear doesn't have the horsepower to do it.

If you look at the article I posted it does appear that universal is labeling Dolby Vision on the back side with the disc specs.

I think there are 2 or 3 others with close upcoming releases, but those may be the only US non-Demo type disc released to date

I think confirmed, but not released yet
Fast and Furious 8 (7/11)
PowerRangers (6/27)
Resident Evil Vendetta (7/18)

Hopefully they will add info on the packaging for Dolby Vision.
