Latest Action Comics (Spoilers for Nightwing's identity)

[mithen]

Character A is a snarky, dark-haired teen with tactile telekenesis.
Character B is a sweet-tempered, light-haired pre-teen without tactile telekenesis.
Character C is a masked, snarky, dark-haired teenager with tactile telekenesis.

Would you lay odds on Character C being A or B under the mask?

Well, DC sez: "It's Character B! He's been randomly aged, his hair has turned black, and he's developed a snarky temperament and tactile telekenesis! Aren't you surprised?"

Oh DC, "surprised" doesn't even begin to cover my reaction.

I am still so pissed off about this you have no idea. GRRR.

Chris isn't one of my favorite characters, but make him himself, even magically aged, and I might have been willing to give him a chance. But tease us for a month with every clue pointing to Kon and then yanking the rug out like that...that's just rude. You can do any kind of surprise that way! "Hey, it's Steph in drag with high-tech gadgets and hair dye!" C'mon...

I've decided that Superwoman is Kon in drag. It makes just as much sense as this does.

That would make her appearances so very awesome, lol! I'm going with that one...

Seriously, I'm so not pleased by DCs recent misdirection. Seriously.
