    Green Lantern can carry more books than Wonder Woman, so I'd pick that if anything.

    Aquaman, because of his successful movie, and everyone can happily agree on who the main character is, and is supposed to be. And the main character's position as the main character isn't in any kind of real dispute like Flash and Green Lantern are constantly dealing with. Arthur is also the original Aquaman, unlike Hal Jordan and Barry Allen for their respective mantles.

    I Never realised, aquaman wasn't a legacy until now. Crazy. I love garth, though.

    The Flash. I realize Arthur's movie was strong, but Flash has more overall and consistent presence across multiple forms of media, more successful runs in comics and better overall sales. I think more Flash stuff can sell whereas if he doesn't look like Mamoa, I wonder how many people will want to purchase Aquaman media. Time will tell.

    Makes me wonder what would be said if his movie never would have come out, like “What about his comics?”

    But The Flash could run back and forth more times resulting in more books carried. And Aquaman has a WHOLE army of sea creatures that could carry books. Just think the octopuses alone could probably carry every book in existence.

    I voted for Aquaman but in all honest Aquaman and the Flash as brands are both pretty equally close to Trinity status; even tho Aquaman is closer to it right now.
    THE SIGNAL (Duke Thomas) is DC's secret shonen protagonist so I made him a fandom wiki

    also, check out "The Signal Tape" a Duke Thomas fan project.

    currently following:
    • DC: Red Hood: The Hill
    • Marvel: TBD
    • Manga (Shonen/Seinen): One Piece, My Hero, Dandadan, Jujutsu Kaisen, Kaiju No. 8, Reincarnation of The Veteran Soldier, Oblivion Rouge, ORDEAL, The Breaker: Eternal Force

    If there were a second trinity, it could be made up of Flash, Green Lantern, and Aquaman.

    I could see a trinity possibility in Shazam, Aquaman and Harley. Shazam would represent Superman(the incredible power mated with optimism), Aquaman will be the Wonder Woman equivalent(otherworldly monarch outsider) and finally Harley will be a stand in for the Batman( Insane normal person hanging with the superhumans). Whether they actually sustain their recent popularity gain and actually come near the Trinity is of course doubtful but then look at the immortal Hulk.
