COMICS: Awesome TRINITY WAR Teaser; "The Good Guys Lose And The Villains Win"

Let's be honest, the trailer released by Marvel for Infinity was pretty awful! Well, DC is hyping up "Trinity War" and the following video - which is narrated by writer Geoff Johns - should do an awful lot more to get you hyped for the highly anticipated event series.

	xNightwingx - 7/9/2013, 1:09 PM Login to report abuse Can't wait until tomorrow. Justice League #22
	knocturnalzen10 - 7/9/2013, 1:10 PM Login to report abuse it's about to become a good old fashion cockfight !.................rubbernecking
	Dmon - 7/9/2013, 1:10 PM Login to report abuse I agree with Gusto Baz should die.
	knocturnalzen10 - 7/9/2013, 1:11 PM Login to report abuse because of drinking problem i forget gusto actually reads comics lol........................
	DrDoom - 7/9/2013, 1:13 PM Login to report abuse Shoddy journalism ftw
	TimDrake - 7/9/2013, 1:14 PM Login to report abuse I already pre ordered all of it
	Dmon - 7/9/2013, 1:14 PM Login to report abuse I think it will be Element Girl though who is a new member to the JL.
	beto - 7/9/2013, 1:17 PM Login to report abuse Maybe the one that dies is Shazaam
	Dmon - 7/9/2013, 1:17 PM Login to report abuse I mean Element Woman not girl.
	JerBear - 7/9/2013, 1:18 PM Login to report abuse So like a 3 way Civil War?
	AlternateNo4 - 7/9/2013, 1:22 PM Login to report abuse i wish it would be baz too... but based on the way he's been written in gl it doesn't seem like anyone's going to be able to do it. he's ridiculously overpowered. well, unless they go with "newbie making dumb mistake." i could live with that.
	AlternateNo4 - 7/9/2013, 1:25 PM Login to report abuse too bad they'd never kill hawkman. he's a classic character but he's the king of douches.
	Fastestmanalive - 7/9/2013, 1:31 PM Login to report abuse Cant wait already, and yea I third that lame Baz should bite the big one.
	beto - 7/9/2013, 1:34 PM Login to report abuse I changed my mind, I think I have a better person to die and ignite things. 1) Shazaam discovers messy Trinity of Sin things. Pandora, Panthom Stranger and the Question take the spotlight. 2) ARGUS and JLA go after the Pandora Box which causes some kind of confrontation with JLD because this last league has more relation with the Trinity of sin guys. 3) JLD are behind but for some weird reason they get some weird Lex Luthor's help (Constantine shaking hands) 4) Pandora goes after Superman trying to open the box but she is intercepted by someone for the Trinity of sin 5) JL finds out that the Atom is a mole, tempers heat up and they imprison her. 6) JLA confronts JL because of Atom. Not Superman since he is facing Constantine about his relationship with Luthor BOOM! Steve Trevor dies and no-one knows who killed him. 8) Secret Society involvement, proof of Constantine having something to do with it appear. 9) WW goes after Constantine but Superman things that he is being set up. Arguments between WW and Sups. 10) Constantine uses his deal with the Phantom Stranger in some weird way. How about it? We just put in the mix Batman and Shazaam dealing with the Trinity of sin mystery and you have a hell of a mess between the Leagues.
	beto - 7/9/2013, 1:35 PM Login to report abuse Whatever happens I think that we will have a dead that begins everything and it will also end with another dead, a bigger one (Maybe Flash).
	nibs - 7/9/2013, 1:38 PM Login to report abuse @maestro did you think that through at all? I don't think he would give it all away in a trailer. jesus. looks alright, I haven't been reading much lately. can anyone tell me what the JL did to go against the gov't and cause the start of the JLA?
	Dmon - 7/9/2013, 1:40 PM Login to report abuse @nibs They refused to be controlled by the government that is why.
	tvor03 - 7/9/2013, 1:41 PM Login to report abuse I'm guessing it's Catwoman since she's a member of the JLA and apparently the evil cabal of villains. I think the evil guys will fake her death as part of their plan to get the different leagues to destroy each other.
	SnapperCarr - 7/9/2013, 1:43 PM Login to report abuse Please be Cyborg. But it'll probably be that female Atom.
	beto - 7/9/2013, 1:43 PM Login to report abuse @tvor03 You cannot keep faking someone's death over and over again.
	Havenless - 7/9/2013, 1:52 PM Login to report abuse Sounds epic, but my god... this guy is one terrible narrator. "Because like..."
	Havenless - 7/9/2013, 1:54 PM Login to report abuse Maybe the hero that dies is Captain America, and that starts Lex Luthor's Dark Reign.
	Battabing - 7/9/2013, 1:55 PM Login to report abuse That was pretty f.ucking clever. Granted, I don't see why one needed to bag on Marvel's trailer.
	Brail1975 - 7/9/2013, 1:57 PM Login to report abuse Sounds interesting but this was done before by Marvel. It was called Civil War and Age of (Place name here.)
	Brail1975 - 7/9/2013, 2:07 PM Login to report abuse This is my problem with the New 52. They are taking classic stories and retelling them with their own spin to them. What happens when they run out classic stories to rip off? I guess they will reboot again.
	nibs - 7/9/2013, 2:10 PM Login to report abuse @ineedrev instead of like the real world when it is good guys vs bad guys right?
	Havenless - 7/9/2013, 2:17 PM Login to report abuse This will setup next summer's big event 'Martian Invasion.' Sources indicate the chose to go that route because it will smoothly transition into 'House of S', 'Darkseid Rising', and finally, 'Age of Brainiac.'
	beto - 7/9/2013, 2:17 PM Login to report abuse I don't see this as Civil War, it may have one similarity but that's it. Civil War was everyone agasinst everyone based on their stance, mostly Cap vs IronMan. Here we would have fractures on the leagues probably but it is more like Leagues vs Leagues and has some points that Civil War didn't have that can be exploited: 1) JLA dealing with the JL. Remember they formed the team targeting for special adversaries on the JL, wonder how that'll go. 2) JLD, this one is most interesting part it gives JL and JLA a whole new level and very interested about Constatine's part in all of this. 3)The Trinity of Sin, really interested about Pandora's story and finding out if the one to open the box would be the one with the good heart or the one with the dark heart. Also The Question has a lot of things to be answered and the whole Phantom Stranger-Cosntantine thing may develop in so many ways. The only concern that I have is that it appears like the event will be quite short. These are like 2 months only right?
	Shadowelfz - 7/9/2013, 2:29 PM Login to report abuse More heroes vs. heroes. Didnt Marvel beat that horse to death already, DC? Do you really need to jump on that bandwagon? Sigh.
	BANEofExistence - 7/9/2013, 2:55 PM Login to report abuse Well im going to say shazam dies considering he is Mia from both promo art pieces...
	marvel72 - 7/9/2013, 2:56 PM Login to report abuse looking forward to infinity more,thanos & hickman = win,win ,win
	MaGiC8BALL - 7/9/2013, 2:57 PM Login to report abuse What's with heroes constantly fighting each other here lately? I miss the good ole days when good guys fought bad guys.
	Fastestmanalive - 7/9/2013, 3:00 PM Login to report abuse Marvel events suck, Avx, sucked, Age of Ultron, snore fest, and Infinity will be the same.
	chrismyers - 7/9/2013, 3:09 PM Login to report abuse There is so many brave and amazing stories they could tell with such an amazing set of characters, such a shame that they rehash the same crap over and over again....I really believe they write comics with there prioritys the wrong way round, make sure not to alienate new readers, then try and keep the current ones, then try and bring back the old ones. I'd love it if they had the bottle to just kill the lot of them or memory wipe everyone and have them try to work through that mess, would make things interesting if they tried something different!
	Splenda - 7/9/2013, 3:10 PM Login to report abuse Hal isn't even a member of the JL anymore
	beto - 7/9/2013, 3:15 PM Login to report abuse Isn't Thanos a Darkseid wannabe? Oh sorry didn't mean to put more flame on this war but everyone was saying that things were copying things. I just wanted to be popular.
	BlackJack10 - 7/9/2013, 3:27 PM Login to report abuse Umm, where's the teaser? All I see is the teaser and yellow box thing. In the middle is blank. Damn iPad.
	BlackJack10 - 7/9/2013, 3:45 PM Login to report abuse Never mind, saw it, and please make baz gone, I never liked him. But then again, it can't. He has his life planned out for him in Johns final GL issue. Just, no Batman or Superman, please, we see it all the time. How about someone from JLA instead of JL or JL Dark. JL is too important and is killed all the time, and JL Dark, well, it would not make a huge dent on the DCU. JLA is in the middle.
	0bstreperous - 7/9/2013, 4:05 PM Login to report abuse I'd willingly spend all my money on a need to have comic This is not it.... Neither is that existential crap hickman is spewing
	TobiramaSenju - 7/9/2013, 4:26 PM Login to report abuse Justice League Dark should have Etrigan and Spectre as heavy hitters
	ALmight - 7/9/2013, 5:01 PM Login to report abuse Let me guess, they are hinting at Superman crossing the line right? Yeah, that did wonders for the movie. Plus, this already reminds me of Marvel's Civil War.
	MatchesMalone1989 - 7/9/2013, 5:12 PM Login to report abuse Similar to Civil War on the fact that the government is involved. Where it won't be similar to Civil War is that I know at the end of this. THe J.L will not bend the knee to governments of the world still. Where a at the end of Civli War Cap Bended the knee. Plus the fact that Pandora is still the main reason this is all happening puts a supernatural plot in this story which Civil War never had. Some similarities yes. But at the end of the day not really. Nice try to guys trying to make it seem similar.....
	MatchesMalone1989 - 7/9/2013, 5:24 PM Login to report abuse And the funny thing is is that Johns clearly says the the Heros vs Heros part is how it starts off. It's not the whole event. Damn we have some real DIE HARD Dc haters on this site. Stan Lee help them.
	TheFox - 7/9/2013, 5:25 PM Login to report abuse "The good guys lose and the villains win." Wasn't that the selling point for Final Crisis? Not that I think this is going to be THAT terrible, but c'mon, guys-- the explicit promise that the heroes will lose isn't exactly enticing. I don't know about you, but I read superhero comics to see the superhero WIN. Unless you have a really good story to tell through the loss, allowing the villain to get away with awful stuff is just cynical, not compelling. This is why the whole Superior Spider-Man fiasco is complete and utter bullsh*t. It's the DCU, guys-- you're allowed to have fun adventure stories without resorting to gritty, cynical payoffs to make it relevant. Z
	MatchesMalone1989 - 7/9/2013, 5:31 PM Login to report abuse Dc has always had Gritty stories. Its what makes them good. To me it actually makes me feel like these guys are actually in danger.
	Spidey11 - 7/9/2013, 5:32 PM Login to report abuse whoa, gonna have to check this out!
