RETURN OF BRUCE WAYNE #2 hits today

And we’ve got something extra for you.

Not only has writer Grant Morrison done a number of interviews in recent weeks, with THE ONION AV CLUB, io9, AOL COMICS ALLIANCE, TIME TECHLAND, TOPLESS ROBOT and MTV SPLASH PAGE, but the series has also received sterling reviews, including props from AIN'T IT COOL NEWS, COMIC BOOK RESOURCES, NEWSARAMA and IGN.

What more could there be to show off, you ask?

Well, how about a first look at DC DIRECT’s RETURN OF BRUCE WAYNE action figures?

The first wave will hit in April of next year, and features four different versions of our time lost hero, based on the designs of cover artist Andy Kubert.

The figures include:

Prehistoric Batman

Witch-hunter Batman

Wild West Batman

High Seas Batman

Check ‘em out below and make some space on that shelf.

It's almost the weekend, so let's give you a few things to read to make the work day go by a tad faster, shall we?

THE NEW YORK TIMES has unveiled it's latest Graphic Novel Best Seller list, and GREEN LANTERN: RAGE OF THE RED LANTERNS is sitting pretty atop the chart. Other notables: FINAL CRISIS, THE KILLING JOKE, BATMAN R.I.P., JOKER and ALL STAR BATMAN AND ROBIN, THE BOY WONDER.

USA TODAY has the second chapter of WEDNESDAY COMICS' SUPERMAN strip. If you haven't read it yet, it's definitely worth the click.

Neil Gaiman was on NPR's "Talk of the Nation" to chat up WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THE CAPED CRUSADER.

• The BLACKEST NIGHT goodness continues, with IGN unveiling preview pages from BLACKEST NIGHT: TALES OF THE CORPS #2, CBR reviewed the first issue of the series and MTV's SPLASH PAGE blog gives the book some love.
