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.

You nailed it, it sounds pretty lame I mean you have interesting concept and good mysteries there but I guess at this point no matter who you make Superwoman it's going to be disappointing or confusing.

Oh and I wasn't necessarily thinking about Tim, more like Damien since he is a brat and I thought that having a Super buddy who is invulnerable to his lashing out and who's well-behaved
might be a positive influence on him.

Tim already has his Super. I don't think he's going to warm to someone showing up who seems so much like Kon and isn't...

Well he already interacted with Chris, it was the issue where Batman make shim the Iron Pig watch that locks Chris' powers so he can't use them. Tim was nice to him and Chris got a little hero worship for him since he was a human without powers who could do all sorts of acrobatics... Late ron when the Phantom Zone is sucking him back Chris thanks Clark for all he did for him and tells him something along the lines off "Hey I had fun, And I got to meet Robin"

Oh, I knew you meant Damian! I just meant that now that he seems to be Tim's age I'd feel weird seeing him with Damian...although Chris's actual age is totally confusing (I suppose a great deal like Kon and Bart, for that matter!)

I saw some of those scans, and Chris's hero-worship for Tim would be really cool to play on. If Chris kept his original personality (and maybe he'll become more clearly Chris-like now that they've revealed who he is) it would be cool to see. As he is, though...I can't see Tim being interested in another dark-haired snarky Kryptonian with TTK, lol. I mean, it might be kind of cool to see Chris win him over...

Bascially, Chris provides some interesting possibilities for Super/Bat junior pairings, but they're problematic as well. I'll be curious to see if fandom picks him up in any organized way...
