Jim Lee is glad that Batman is at the top of the charts, and thinks that this is where he should be.
DC's VP of Sales and Marketing Bob Wayne says that he is monitoring retailer feedback closely with an eye toward going back to the press, and that he talks to retailers every day.
"Every time we showed more parts of this issue in the press, at conventions or anywhere else, retailer interest has soared," said Vince Letterio, DC's Manager - Direct Sales. "When the Sneak Peek copies reached stores last Wednesday, reorder activity increased dramatically. For the past few days, we've been taking reorders with both hands - and we're ready to take more on subsequent issues."

It is reported that Colossus will appear in the second X-Men movie due out next year. Production designer Guy Dyas is looking at ways to make his metal skin more believable. The movie idea is that the skin will turn transparent to reveal metalized muscle beneath. Here's a promotional picture form the movie. Looks pretty good, in my opinion.
It is also reported that James Marsden, who returns as Cyclops in X-Men 2 returns with a new visor. Check it out in this picture.
It is reported that Nightcrawler will also be in X-Men 2.
