That's about where I am, plus, I HATE when they add more elements to the Wayne history. It's like pulling in another survivor from Krypton or sending Dick to the circus, it's a cheap route for adding drama to the story that at best won't actually make the character any deeper and can at worst massively screw their entire history.

And yes, I thought it was odd the 2 of them looked alike, which I suppose was supposed to be a clue, but at this point I'm not sure most comic artists even can draw people that aren't buff white dudes with dark hair, so it's kind of a poor hint.

Ultimately, it's a pretty ridiculous idea. (Not quite guy-learning-to-be-the-best-at-everything-and-dressing-as-a-bat-and-building-a-high-tech-crimefighting-arsenal-under-everyone's-noses ridiculous, but close.) But it's being sold with a lot of panache, and I'm enjoy the story quite a bit. And who knows...? They might pull the rug out from under us one more time.

I think I still have the issue around somewhere ...

That's pretty much it in a nutshell. I'll be writing a blog entry on this soon.
