Well... I'd prefer Wagner to write a more temporally advanced adventure of the Big Three. I mean, before this story was launched, we already know that they knew each other pretty well. Tho this story managed to catch the internal conflicts among the heroes (WW's peaceful way vs Batman's straigthforward methods; Bat and Supes' own point of view to any problems), but somehow to me it was just slipped a bit.
As a WW fans, I understand that Diana actually already encountered Bat and Supes in her first months in Boston (early WW edition, Time Passage. Forgot the number. Things to do with the anti-superhero movement). And it went peacefully. So why did she has to encounter them again for 'the first time' this time? A bit weird. It would be better to set a story when they have known each other, and face a new trouble. And of course, Hypolyta's statement about the Bana-Mighdall's existence sort of 'undoing' the story plot made by George Perez and others. But, hey... that's what's been happening in the DC universe. One version over another...
And WW's costume! By the Gods! Can't she wear a natural WW undies instead of that horrible boxer? It might mean to make it more 'polite' or somekind; but boxer!? Sorry, but am truly a WW fans, and I don;t like her with boxer.
But I can spare Matt for making Bruce kissed Diana. Enchanted or not, I always like it when Bruce finds it hard to control himself everytime Di is there. They're a click couple, I tell ya. Di seems to enlight Bruce' dark sides, while Bruce maintain Di's sense of practicality. Tho in the end (at least now...) Joe Kelly decided to put off their relationship...
Well, a nice book to read afterall...

Back before superpowered heroes and villains started appearing all over the world, there was just Superman and Batman, polar heroes with an undeniable respect for each other. When Ra's Al Ghul, Bizzaro, and the teenage Artemis threaten the Amazon's home on Paradise Island, Wonder Woman sets out into the world to seek answers, meeting Superman and Batman for the first time.
Trinity is an excellent tale that perfectly captures the individual natures of its three dynamic characters during their first meeting. From Batman's awe of paradise, to Wonder Woman's view of Superman as a kind of Greek god, the writing is thoughtful and the art is superb. It does perfect justice to each of the characters, giving us a fresh view on old heroes in familiar conditions. I can't recommend this book enough.
