otherwise i thought it was great - a bold take on the genre.

I think they did it just fine. It was but natural that the kid would think that some of his Dad's "special ability" had rubbed off on him.

I dont think so. She was pretty much an integral part of characterisation. The friction and chemistry she shared with Bruce was a highlight. And also, because she was a nurse by occupation, and tended to Mr. Glass.

Two very important points. Besides one other flashback revelation, when Bruce realises he had saved her from the "accident" years ago.
