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.

But... what... wait... no. Just no, DC. Urgh.

*goes back to reading Marvel Adventures, where nonsensical things happen in the name of amusement not plot*

So confused. Unwilling to commit to reading Action now, although I like Mon-El over in Superman so I'll keep going with that one. If they'd given Chris his own personality and look and stuff, sure! I'd be happy to see him meeting Tim again and seeing if sparks flew now that he's the same age! But I don't want a rip-off of Kon... :(
