    The idea is not new or even Post Crisis bound. The notion of this triumvirate comes from the viability of their licenses and their historical significance and historical performance.

    Yeah, they're the three characters whose solo books continued uninterrupted from the golden age to the silver age and beyond. Nobody else (superheroes, anyway) survived without being cancelled, restricted to anthologies, relaunched or rebooted. Marvel's trinity can be disputed (if you go by Avengers it's Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, but go by popularity and it's Spider-Man, Hulk and Wolverine, and the golden age one is Submariner, Human Torch and Captain America) but DC's is indisputably Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman.

    "I thought she was with you."

    That's right - the woman came on her own without a man! Feminism a la Snyder!

    Well if the reason Batman didn't get canceled was because Robin doubled the sales. Than Robin should be included in the "Trinity" talk. He just as qualified.

    I'm a little surprised they've kept the JL off the table for this long...but maybe it's been for the best.

    The difference is, Robin didn't have his own book. In fact the third Robin got one before the first one, who didn't have a book of his own until the first Nightwing mini in the 90s.

    I once came up with a Justice League roster for fun.

    It was

    > Superman (Kal-El)

    > Wonder Woman (Diana Prince)

    > Kid Quick

    > Green Lantern Jessica Cruz

    > J'onn J'onzz

    > Accomplished Perfect Physician

    > Zatanna Zatara

    > Aquaman

    > Jenny Mei Sparks

    ... So I guess that line-up.
