COMICS: DC Planning Their Own Version Of CIVIL WAR With THE TRINITY WAR?

DC Comics are said to be planning a big 2013 focusing on Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman? There are very few details as of right now, but some are already speculating that it will pit the trio against one another.

The ever reliable lads over at Bleeding Cool have learned of a big event that DC Comics are planning for 2013 called "The Trinity War". It's believed that this refers to DC's trinity of superheroes, Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman. There are literally no other details as of right now, but it's fair to assume that this event might see either the trio taking on each other or the rest of the DC Universe. With sales dropping slightly since "The New 52" was launched in September and Marvel grabbing headlines with titles like Avengers Vs. X-Men and Spider-Men, something like this would be the perfect way of putting DC Comics back in the spotlight.

The cover for WW #8 is so pitiful...

Something like this would be alot more interesting to me if it wasn't taking place in the new52.

@grif I wouldn't be surprised if WB doesn't do any kind of trinity, worlds finest or justice league movie even after the Avengers success. They don't have the common sense to produce something like that.

Superman used the armor because Brainiac was kicking his ass and he needed it, it was in Action Comics before he was fully powered. He did need it.

come on!!! if there's one thing i hate about marvel is that their heroes spend more times battling each other instead of fighting villains. Please DC don't be like that

I would say that any sales decline is based on readers trying out new comics and then going long term with the ones they liked and dropping the ones they don't that was to be expected. This could be a good event, although I personally didn't like civil war, good concept bad execution in my opinion. Any crossover or event is always there to drive sales regardless of Marvel or DC just as X-men vs Avengers is, but this article comes across like it is some dirty by DC to drive up comic book sales.

@elcaballerooscuro92

Well, I am just on the opposite side of the spectrum with you. I mean, I love it when they can't get their shit together enough to stop fighting each other, making everything infinitely more worse in the process.

Everything's so much more interesting.

Having said that, I'm with SigmaCenturion, with a big resounding "MEH" from me.

What exactly is a big 2013? Also, should be speculating not "speculation" in the secondary title.

I wonder if Aronofsky said no to Wolverine b/c he thought Batman might be a possibility.....

I don't think a civil war would work at DC. Batman would hide in the shadows while Supes laid the hurt on Diana. Then he'd spring out and throw some kryptonite at Big Blue and the whole deal would be over. Plus, DC's heroes are generally intelligent enough not to fight each other. Bruce already has contingency plans to eliminate the rest of the Justice League anyway (a la JLA: Tower of Babel/Justice League: Doom).

It's been done. Kingdom come. Public enemies. It's being rehashed again. I hope it's written well.

I know it is impossible, but I just hope that this event would cause some big cosmic-warp-reality-thingy, taht would restore the DC universe into way it was before the new 52(god I hate the new 52).

@superduperness yeah i love when DC super heroes discuss and fight and leave teams but they eventually get their act together for the greater good. and that's the tru meaning of black history month

If this is what The Trinity War actually is, it's funny because someone already had this idea.

Does anyone remember that 3 episode fan created webseries from about 4 years ago called DC Elseworlds?In the third episode, they refer to something called The Trnity War, which is believed to be a battle between those three characters and their allies.

My "Dumbass idea" senses are tingling. Plus, like AEStark mentioned before, the Kingdom Come story was DC's equivalent to Civil War with DC heroes fighting one another for the future of super heroes.

But I guess I should hold off my opinions on this idea.

@Netman Superman needs armor so that he isn't repairing spandex every night.


I hope they keep this inside the New 52, but it seems a little soon...
