Written by Francis Manapul,Trinityfocuses on DC Comics big three: Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman.
That was a big inspiration for the story.
It essentially came out of trying to find a way to differentiateTrinityfrom their respective books.

Superman has like three or four titles, and Batman has more.
Same with Wonder Woman.
And, they also have this book calledJustice League, right?

All of those books are big threat books and theyre getting together for the purpose of defeating something larger.
Going intoTrinity, I realized that the best approach was to make it more of a personal book.
Thats been the goal withTrinityfrom day one.

Theres definitely a disparity there.
The way he did that original story was so masterful and it was very concise.
Because of the continuity, that past cant happen; I cant do that without affecting everyones continuity.

That bond is really whatTrinityis about.
Its fair to say a lot of things.
Again, going back through the last three issues, obviously its very clear that this isnt their world.
So, theres a lot of mishmash going on.
So, whats real?
The bigger question isnt who is behind it.
Its rather, whose dream are the they in?
Thats really the bigger question.
And at the end of the day, why are they there?
White Mercy was never a plant.
White Mercy is a person.
Thats the question nobody asks.
I think thats the big reveal in #4: that White Mercy is a person.
Is issue #5 the issue where we finally learn more about White Mercy?Absolutely.
Issue #5 is essentially where every question that youre asking is answered.
The importance of issue #4 is Dianas discovery of the truth.
With Superman, he needed to talk to his father.
With Bruce, he needed to tell himself [his parents murder] wasnt his fault.
Theyre not even in a different version of their world.
The younger versions of themselves that theyve met are actually them; those are there subconsciouses.
There were a few different takes on For the Man Who Has Everything in 2016.
But, I think the biggest take away from that is in tumultuous times, we escape to fiction.
I think thats ultimately what it is.
I think theres always this deep desire to dream of a better place.
Its really a classic kind of story.
I dont want to spoil anything.
Its a little bit more cerebral in a way that the Black Mercy is messing with them.
Thats how she found Themyscira.
Shes there with her eyes closed and she just says, Go this way.
Finally,Trinityis one the many books thats part of DC ComicsRebirth.
I think the overall theme of the book is embracing that history and hopefulness.
Its very much a story that a brand new reader can come in and enjoy.
But at the same time, something that pays off [with] Easter eggs for longtime readers.
