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 I, but .... how does a Kryptonian get tactile telekinesis? Is he a clone?

That's just dirty pool, DC. Now I refuse to suspend my disbelief at all.

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

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*

Wait. What? I second skund's motion of reading Marvel Adventures. *buries nose in Marvel Adventures: The Avengers #1, and plots buying #2* Also, I have no idea who A, B, and C are in context, as I am not up to date with that particular branch of canon right now, but that is very WTF of them. Also, if I see a dark-haired teen with tactile telekinesis in my DC, I want it to be Kon-El, end of story. *ships Kon/Tim, and just plain likes Kon as a character*

That, my friend, is what fan fiction is for. Also blindfolds, ear plugs, and loud singing.
I say it's Kon.

Are you fucking kidding me??

I know it was so stupid I could have totally been ok if Nightwing wasn't Kon (because it was obvious it wasn't going to be him with what's happening in Blackest Night), heck even Van-Zee would have been a better option.

Also why couldn't they keep Character B as a kid, I liked Super munchkin and I wanted him to team up with Batbrat and have kid adventures.

Also the person who turned out to be Flamebird was stupid too, everyone expected her to be Superwoman (it would have made more sense) I mean she isn't even blonde and Flamebird was blonde!

Better not make Superwoman Alura (or an illegitimate El kid) or I will be pissed.

Yeah, it is disappointment. I was expecting it because rumor has that Kon-El may be back during Blackest Night, but what condition is anyone's guess.

[stinglikeabee.livejournal.com]

*scratches head* My guess is that the last minute change was due to Kon coming back as a Black Lantern, and the fact that Linda is still in hell. But c'mon, at least make it a plausible reveal.

*boggles* But...but...

DC, sometimes it's okay to go with the obvious choice. No one will judge you for it.

adventure comics #0

[sevais.livejournal.com]

err, has anyone else read adventure #0? because the luthor/brainiac origin at the end has a really, really interesting last page. not saying but it made the whole $1 i paid for a reprint i have several times over worth every penny.

[phyrry.livejournal.com]

This, this is why I don't read comics any more. (Well, there was also a certain issue of Walking Dead...) Fanfiction has to make sense.

[22by7.livejournal.com]

That is pretty cheap and disgusting of DC, but I'm less and less surprised. I'll make mine Dark Horse as planned, I guess. Sigh.

*retreats fully into the world of Johnny DC*

Argh, stupid DC!!! *glares*

[shardsofblu.livejournal.com]

I've ruled out Nightwing being Kon ever since Adventure Comics, but still. The whole thing is just stupid, and Chris was fine the way he was before. Hell, I love the kid (which I cannot say the same for Damian).
