Summary: Exquisite Work, Thanks Matt Wagner!
Comment: I had forgotten how much I enjoy when an author writes and draws his own book. I can't help but feel that Wagner really poured his heart into Trinity. It's beautiful to look at and the story was an awful lot of fun.
I don't know the strict definition of comic book vs. graphic novel, but this goes on my shelf with Batman: The Cult, Superman: Birthright, Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, We3 and others that I call "graphic novels".

Summary: Not for fans of the Dark Knight
Comment: I am definitely more of a Batman fan than either Superman or Wonder Woman so I want to point out that this is not Batman. He's basically portrayed as a brute with a computer. And don't get me started on the kiss.
It's not easy for writers to use Batman in Super hero team ups since he has no super powers, but I do get tired of him having to basically wait for Superman to come save him. I'd rather they just wrote Batman out of this story like they did in Obsidian Age.
The story is ok at best but it's hard to sympathize with Al Ghul's plot. Superman is done justice. Can't really say the same for Wonder Woman.

Summary: Throwback to Another Era
Comment: "Trinity" succeeds as an unironic take on DC's Big Three. The story, involving nuclear warheads and Bat-villain Ra's, is standard mad-villain-tries-to-destory-the-world stuff--a little disappointing, since Ra's is a complex character more suited to the seriousness of, say, Greg Rucka's "Death and the Maidens" than the Golden Age of Super-Heroes. The cameos from Robin and Aquaman are priceless, as is the character interaction between Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman. "Trinity" isn't a classic, but it is a fun comic book diversion for an hour.

Summary: Graphic SF Reader
Comment: A look at the early meetings of the three famous DC comics universe superhero characters. This is how they get over their initial distrusts, misunderstandings, and other problems to learn how to work together efficiently to stop problems that any one of them may not be able to handle alone. Batman is not likely to sneak around an island of Amazons again, either.

Summary: A disturbing ill conceived creation
Comment: This book has wonderful art. Bringing together the three most well known of iconic heroes Wonder Woman, Batman and Superman in a globe spanning tale of (sadly) misogny and grit.
The author tries to make the threat of Batman's nemesis "The Demon" virtually a divine character ("as if spawned from a god" ) and then allows him to fight not the Dark Knight but Diana the Wonder Woman an Amazon from an island of beauteous warrior women.
Strangely only the women suffer defeats and attacks in his story. Most notably a battered and bloddy beating for the Amazon, then her island is attacked and "defiled." It appears as if this author is truly upset at women. Reading this story, a story that should be about heroism and nobility and overcoming odds I get the feeling that Wonder Woman represents a girlfriend that upset the author and he get's his "revenge" on women in general by the mischaracterization and degradations he suffers the Amazons and particularly Wonder Woman. Wonder Woman is never quite as strong as Superman in the story but instead of just alluding to that, he decides to beat and degrade the most notable icon of feminism.
I would not reccommend this book for a child under 13 and especially not a little girl.

BATMAN/SUPERMAN/WONDER WOMAN: TRINITY tells the remarkable tale of the turbulent first encounter of the worlds most iconic heroes. When Batmans greatest nemesis, Ras al Ghul, recruits Bizarro and an Amazon warrior to aid him in his plan to create global chaos, the Dark Knight Detective suddenly finds himself working with the Man of Steel and the Amazon Princess. Looking to thwart the madmans plot to simultaneously destroy all satellite communications as well as all of the worlds oil reserves, Earths greatest heroes reluctantly band together. But if Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman are to have any hope of stopping Ras nuclear missile assault, they will first need to overcome their own biases and reconcile their differing philosophies.
