Called the Trinity

>Called the Trinity
>Wonder Woman, while having great runs, is the only one without a single story that people can legitimately argue as being of the greatest comic stories of all time

Why is this allowed?

Writers didn't know what to do with her.
Executives thought a female Superhero movie would do well?
Catwoman and Supergirl failed (because they were pieces of shit)

this is about to change after the movie success

The Trinity is just the 3 DC heroes whose ongoings survived the golden age. It doesn't mean anything else. Stop being fucking casual.

Wonder Woman is hardly the only one character to have that "problem".

What's the Flash's single greatest story? What's Spider-Man's? What's the X-Men's? All those characters are known for their long, consistent runs too, yet no one ever thinks it's a problem for them.

The fact is comics are a serial medium. Notice that despite the fact that Batman and Superman have also had numerous long, famous runs, the "definitive" stories for them are OGNs. Casuals who cite "definitive" stories only read self-contained OGNs. In reality all the actual best comics for every character including Batman and Superman are part of long serialized runs.

TDKR and All-Star Superman are not definitive and never have been, they're just easy to recommend to casuals because they're short and self-contained.

> Flash
The Flash of two worlds.

> Spiderman
One more day.

> X-men
Days of future past.

I actually have no clue except maybe the latter.

Fuck out of here with all three of those.

God Loves, Man Kills is pretty signature story for the x-men.

Because most companies, WB/DC especially, paradoxically love to dedicate the most resources to the IPs that are guaranteed to fly off the shelves, almost always at the expense of other properties. Hence why Batman is in everything, while Wondy had to wait until she FINALLY got a movie for the suits to even vaguely give a shit about her.

And if you think said movie means more OGNs and such for Diana, don't hold your breath. Sure, the film made money, lots of money in fact, but it didn't make ALL the money, which is all corporations are interested in anymore. Didn't make a billion? Failure.

Wasn't aquaman a golden age hero?

>One More Day
Literally the worst taste and probably trolling.

I'd say it's probably Kraven's Last Hunt

Green Arrow was too.

She killed max Lord land is kinda gay for Dawn Troy and I guess she was a star Sapphire.

both of them have better villains

It really depends on what the Trinity actually is. Is it the 3 most important? The three most popular?

If it was about importance to DC it should be Robin, Superman and Batman but that would look like 2 gay men and their adopted son.

An argument can be made for Flash but his importance came after the trinity was already a thing.

If it was popularity it would be three slightly different pictures of Batman.

So if it was a Bat trinitiy it would be
1.Adam West Batman
2.Killing Joke Batman
3.Dark Knight Batman

that's what happens when you take a troll argument for serious.
Also, Hawkman, the Atom, Black Canary the entire JSA, thousands of later refurbished concepts, from Green Lantern to Deathstroke, of course all of their classic villains, and who knows the shittons of other heroes

yea you know, because Superman is like totally not popular.
The Trinity is just a sum up of the three incarnations of the classic superhero of comic book. Superman is the meta with alien powers, space adventures and mad scientifics and stuff, Wonder Woman is the fantasy tale goddess with classical greco-roman mythos powers and enemies, and Batman is the detective with crime-solving, crime and goons stories.
And basically, every modern hero is just a direct evolution or a mix of those three mythos.
Is pretty darn simple and iconic. a trinity.

gangsters and goons*
my bad

Arthur and Ollie are Golden Age characters but they never had their own on-going. Both were backup characters for the longest time. For that matter, you could say Zatarra should be in the trinity instead of Bruce since he pre-dates Batman's first appearance.

You don't just get top-tier stories whenever you want them, son. They have to come from a great creator being legitimately inspired by the character to beyond the call of duty with him.

>If it was popularity it would be three slightly different pictures of Batman.

You realize this is just a current thing? But of course you can't see past the dick in your hand when you're in the basement so you can't. Even Billy Batson Captain Marvel has sold more lifetime solo issues than Bruce Wayne had up until the Adam West. And for all that a large collection of Batfags hate on it, it was that showed that made Robin a player in the DCU and allowed Bruce to survive to be resurrected in comics by the like of Adams, DannyO and Frank.

>to beyond

"to go beyond"

the only two good Wonder Woman stories are Messner-Loebs and O'Neils

One thing about the trinity nobody notes enough is the balance between them. Busiek wrote a whole damned comic about it, but I'm talking more creatively.

Superman: Science fiction
Wonder Woman: Fantasy
Batman: Crime fiction

By their powers combined, they're the embodiment of the gestalt that is a comic book universe. They're the three elements of a big huge over the top awesome wacky thriving comic world.
