This was a decent origin story of the trinity.

I really enjoyed this! It was fun, not too terribly serious, but not so non-serious that it became absurd (although Bizarro is always...bizarre...).
This tells the story of Batman and Superman's first encounter with Wonder Woman. Their dynamic is really well-balanced, I like a story of this Trinity moreso than a JLA story. I'll absolutely read the second Trinity story!

I LOVED THIS. After I saw Batman vs Superman, I wanted to read more about these three. And I was not disappointed!

Also, I love the way this author wrote Batman. I laughed so hard at him throughout it because it seemed so out of sorts!

A frustrating read. Starts off strong with Superman but fails to capture Diana's voice and essence - all her pages seemed wrong and were off-putting. Also, I've never needed to utter these words in my life but- not enough Batman.

I really enjoyed this one. The focus was on character development, but unlike Mark Millar, Wagner made me like the existing heroes more, not less. Superman in particular felt like a fully fleshed-out character for one of the first times to me, and I loved seeing the big three interact—butting heads or helping each other by turns.

Been seeing this book at Kinokuniya for the longest time - finally read it in preparation for the upcoming movie Batman Vs Superman (because Batman, Superman and Wonder woman will all be in the movie).

Not surprised if this comic book is the base of the movie - with just the changing of the villain and settings. (n the movie the biggest enemy is Lex Luthor and his Abominable creation - in the book its Ra's Al Ghul and his invasion of Wonder Woman's island refuge Themyscira as well as his beast Bizarro).

Slightly hilarious and engaging with each of the characters asking honest and funny questions to each other (Batman to Wonder Woman - aren't you a little bright colored and under exposed?) its a funny take on how the three can cooperate, pooling the strength, stealth, and skill of each character in solving a problem bigger than themselves.

While this graphic novel has some funny undertones - it is poignant to wait and see if the movie will reflect this too, instead of having just bad vibes with everyone else. Oh and in the movie Batman fights with Superman, it doesn't happen here.

There is a funny scene in the middle of the book when Batman sees Wonder Woman 'refreshed' - and how Superman just knows everything that is going on that Batman tries to be stealthy about. Definitely worth a read especially since the movie about the trio will be coming out soon!

A really, really good story. One of my favourite so far. I love seeing the three of them work together and off each other.

Trinity was a fun read. Wagner writes the DC "trinity" of heroes well (not everyone does), and his art is enjoyable, too. A great story, with an interesting match-up of 3 of their worthy foes. Worth reading - especially if you're a fan of Batman, Wonder Woman, or Superman.

I enjoyed this, it was a joy to see the first interactions between Batman and Superman with Wonder Woman. While, I didn't enjoy how R'as or even Bruce treated Diana at times, adore these three heroes.
