Piffle. It was such a weak twist, and telegraphed far enough in advance by whats-her-name, that they're actually doing the movie a favour by making it clear the film is actually about these two (as opposed to the original marketing campaign, which seemed to be about a superhero and his society coming to a reconcilliation, only to be completely diverted in the second half by this ill-thought plotline).
