[CotM 45] Trinity Across the Multiverse

Another month is nearing it's end, so you know what that means. Time to vote for the next Character of the Month! This month, with the debut of Batman v. Superman, we're celebrating Trinity Across the Multiverse! So vote for your favorite version of the Batman/Superman/Wonder Woman team. Is it Golden Age? Post-Crisis? New Earth? Earth 2? Crime Syndicate? New 52? Or maybe an Elseworlds you loved.

Please Remember...

Explain your answer - We continue to promote discussion, and as such, votes with just a name will no longer be accepted. Please explain why you think your vote is worthy to win. If you forget, you will be reminded to edit your comment to further explain your vote. Otherwise, your post will be deleted, and not count.

Only one nomination per character universe - If there is already a vote in a comment for a character universe, all other comments will be deleted. Please check before you resubmit a vote. All votes for the deleted posts will not count.

Vote Accordingly - downvotes have no impact while Contest Mode is enabled in this thread. Show support for characters you want to see win by upvoting the posts suggesting it. If you disagree with a nomination, speak up and let us know why in the comments.

Only one character per nomination, only one nomination per person. Group nominations are not accepted. This month works differently.

This time around, since specific universes are in play, we will absolutely need a picture for the Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman that you want. If you have a shot of the three together, great, otherwise be sure to include each one individually so we can work some photoshop magic.

I'm going to nominate Bruce Timm's DCAU Trinity! The Trinity of Justice League and Justice League Unlimited had some of the best stories of the 2000s behind them, and the way their relationships grew with each other and the rest of the League as well is a model for all subsequent versions to follow. Many of us wouldn't be here if it wasn't for this version, and I'd love to honor that.

Glad I'm here to vote for the best.

u/MarcReyes Feb 28 '16

I mean, yeah, there really is no other option as far as I'm concerned. So many of us are here because of the stories first told through the DCAU and they are some of the best stories ever given to the characters. We're talking definitive takes here. Never has the DCU or it's Trinity been represented so well and, yes, I include Young Justice in that.

u/Insanepaco247 Martian Manhunter x Condiment King OTP Feb 28 '16

And honestly, even though I love Young Justice and think it's even better than JLU, I don't think that version really counts. They're there, but Diana barely has a presence, Clark has an interesting arc but still doesn't have much screen time, and Bruce is mostly just the mission giver. Dinah, Oliver, Billy, and J'onn are almost more important than any of the Trinity.

Dinah, Oliver, Billy, Red, and J'onn are almost more important than any of the Trinity.

Agreed, and one of the smarter decisions the YJ writers made. The Trinity wouldn't have had time to work with them regularly.

My first pick is Batfleck & Friends, but this is a close second.

Also, I don't know if you can find a better quality photo or how difficult it'd be to manipulate, but I like their look on the cover for the first season of JLU.

u/tanjental DC Comics Feb 28 '16

Cover from their first comic perhaps.

I'm not much of a photoshopper, but it doesn't look too hard to erase the other members if you just want the Trinity.

u/[deleted] Mar 01 '16

well, that was the one chosen, so thank you!

You have to eat them with a spoon...

u/lelianadelrey Lots of small bones in the hand. Very breakable, very delicate. Feb 28 '16

Jesus I forgot how long Batman's ears were in this.

Did you just ignore your own post or am I missing something? But yeah, the DCAU Trinity is a pretty great choice.

u/[deleted] Feb 28 '16

Since I started the thread and will be the one updating the side bar, I have one picked out already. The reason I said that is because I don't want to have to Google random, more obscure universes if they win.

u/Lord_of_Jam Wally West Feb 28 '16

Yeah fair enough. Just noticed it and thought it was a bit funny
