So they only had Whedon runaways stuff so I took the advice and left them there.

I did end up buying the paperbacks of:

Wonder Woman: Blood Vol 1
Batman: Court of Owls Vol 1
Batgirl: The Darkest Reflection Vol 1
Chew: International Flavour Vol 2

Did I get good stuff? I have not read any of them, but Chew Vol 1 was great.

I really liked the Whedon runaways too, it was a slightly inconsequential story but the art was beyond great, absolutely gorgeous.

That kind of blew my mind, but doesn't explain the

You can also use Xanadu's comments to solve a couple other mysteries:

Spoiler

It wasn't the Outsider, but Owlman who broke into the Batcave to steal the kryptonite ring, and not to use against Supes but to power up Ultraman. The hacking of the Watchtower (and likely Belle in Suicide Squad) was carried out by the Crime Syndicate version of Cyborg.

In JLDark, I loved Stargirl's reasoning for

Spoiler

joining Diana. "C'mon, it's Wonder Woman!" It reminded me of the story in WW #600 where Diana rounded up all the female heroes and how in awe a lot of them were to fight with her.

[Jedeye Sniv]

Okay cool, thanks. I might pick up DC #1 over on comixology (it's going for $1 so why not) just to be in the know, then.

Also, is Nightwing any good? As is right now he's my favorite recurring character in Batman (love the dynamic between him and Batman), and I'd be willing to check his comic out if it's any good.

Spoiler: Joker gets his face cut off and it makes no sense. There, just saved you a dollar and having to read something by Tony Daniel.

Actually, I take the piss but beware of Tony Daniel. Inexperienced readers will confuse his fairly decent artwork with there also being the possibility of a good story in there too. But there's not, trust me. It's just the blandest most predictable crap I've read for years. Stick to the Snyder for now.

I got New Avengers Vol. 1 and Ultimate Comics The Ultimates Vol. 1 this week.

I enjoyed New Avengers. Hickman is setting up something big with Infinity. I'm super stoked. Anyway I am going to read Infinity when it comes out as hardcover. Surprisingly I can understand the love for Black Panther now. That guy is cool. Throughout reading I enjoyed Epting's drawing. It isn't awesome like Ribic or Opena, but still great.

I'm curious what will be part of Hickman's Infinity? Avengers, New Avengers, Nova, GotG? Superior Spider-Man? Thor: God Of Thunder?

Avengers and New Avengers seem to be looking at two sides of the same coin, I suspect they'll both be important parts of the Infinity set up. New Avengers are dealing with world-ending incursions, and the vanilla Avengers have something where the universal defense systems are on the fritz.

 

[KoruptData]

Its really fasinating how shallow my answer was vs how deep other peoples theories are. lol. Chalk it up to being new once again. I enjoy readimg everyones thoughts.

 

[Deadly]

Trinity War theory (possibly massive spoilers if accurate):

I suspect the

Spoiler

mole is Superman himself. I strongly believe that Superman is actually Ultraman. His sickness could be suggestive of Ultraman's relationship with Kryptonite, in which prolonged exposure grants him increased strength and powers, whereas the absence of Kryptonite severely weakens him. Waller's insistence on Firestorm making Kryponite could have disastrous effects if it actually powers him up.

Madame Xanadu's vision from Justice League #22 suggested that she knew what Trinity meant and not only were they coming, but some of them were already here. *Some* is plural. If the Outsider is from Earth 3, then he's not alone. It'd be quite the twist if Superman was revealed to be Ultraman, whether having replaced Superman at some point or having assumed control of his body. You can't overlook what happened when he touched Pandora's box. She herself said Superman is supposed to be pure of heart, yet the events that unfolded suggested he had been or was corrupted in some manner.

The best mole is someone who doesn't know they are a mole, especially if this is an Ultraman that believes he is Superman.

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat. Wow. Very interesting.

I dunno that he was sensing anyone specifically or just the dimensional breach in general.

Again going back to Xanadu she said some were here already, not all. So

Spoiler

Superwoman and the rest of the Syndicate may still be on Earth-3. Also I fully expect Power Ring to have been chosen by Volthoom's ring after his death in GL 20.

I believe they said at the panel at SDCC that Ivan Reis has drawn a version of last years FCBD splash page for JL 23, I bet the difference is that

it's the Leagues fighting the Crime Syndicate and not each other.

I'd also like to comment on how awesome of a Green Arrow Jeff Lemire rights, I love his treatment of Ollie.

Really interesting Trinity War ideas coming in here.

Spoiler

So if Superman has been swapped out with Ultraman, where is Superman then? Locked up on Earth 3? Are the Heroes gone in Forever Evil because they're searching for Superman on Earth 3? It would help explain that cover we saw from one of the Forever Evil covers, that kind of showed what looked like Batman's cape and leg, which would obviously be Owlman's.

Some really interesting thoughts going on, and I want to second the one that likes the break up of the teams. I've always loved The Question, so digging the Superman(Ultraman?)/Question team.

I haven't read a lot of the Forever Evil news, but I had a question that maybe I missed. Has DC said how it's going to be? In the sense, will it be events that take place and then corrected and we move on, or is it going to be like Rotworld. Where in these books it's a future that happens and then the Heroes go back and stop from ever happening?

Superman/Batman 2 was sooo good this week! Hell I'm halfway through my pull this week and everything is really good. I'm loving Trinity War so far.

 

[Tawney Bomb]

Oh man, you guys are the absolute worst. All this I'm reading about Trinity War makes me want to go running back arms (and wallet) wide open to DC and start reading all of this...

DC Comics has a video interview up on their website that details how continuity will work in regards to Trinity War and Forever Evil. Current story arcs, tie-ins aside, are all taking place *BEFORE* Trinity War. Forever Evil will run through March, suggesting that even upcoming titles such as Superman/Wonder Woman and Harley Quinn will also take place *BEFORE* Trinity War. I'd guess that's why we're not seeing new books like Shazam yet, as they won't come until the conclusion of Forever Evil and the new status quo is established. I'm hoping for major shake-ups to the Justice League line-ups.

Spoiler

Not unlike what we have seen so far.

I love that Trinity War is largely living up to the two year wait. The fact that there are so many interesting theories and so much mystery and intrigue involved is something that has hit home for me. As much as the solicitations for Villain month want us to believe, I

suspect the heroes have not been killed but taken out of play.

I can't wait to find out it's purpose and hopefully, it's origins.

, for example, but I hadn't even considered all this.

How dope would it be if, after all is said and done, these are the new lineups for the different Leagues? Wonder Woman in charge of JLD, Batman with the regular JL, and Superman with an A.R.G.U.S-less JLA? They'd all be one big Justice League, but divided into sections with the Trinity as their leaders. Just fanboy wishing.

I like the theory that the Superman is really Ultraman. I didn't know about Ultraman's relationship to Kryptonite, so I couldn't have put that together. The question then is is he playing dumb or did the SSoSV do something to him so he can't remember who he is? And what's going on on Earth 3 that they needed to bring him over to begin with?

I'm kind of amazed at how much I'm enjoying this event.

Ock bot(s). Or Mephisto.

Totally spitballing here, but Johns has said in recent interviews that Trinity War is going to tie up all the loose ends of the first two years of the N52. So what if

Thomas Wayne from the Court of Owls story is Owlman from Earth-3, or the new Reverse Flash is actually Johnny Quick? I still firmly believe Power Ring was set up with Volthoom's death in the Wrath of the First Lantern arc that ended Johns' GL run.

Given the hints that Volthoom was from Earth 3, namely his space suit, it seems reasonable to assume that his ring would have chosen a new bearer, Power Ring, upon return to his universe as happened in Green Lantern #20.

All the green and black text boxes in the first two issues, its does not seem to reference whats going on.

I am also confused about the relationships between the characters.
