Clark is regularly seen more happy than usual in Batman's presence, offering the stoic man an absurd amount of help for no reason, even if he is pushed away by the Bat. He's always keeping tabs on the man's heartbeat to make sure he's safe and healthy because he can't bear to even think that his best friend could be sick or dying somewhere.

Hal is snarky and throws more comments around, yet everyone can see the way his gaze appreciates Batman's wide chest. He'll blame it on thinking his logo changed if anyone asks. And, sure, he'll throw little flirty jabs at Batman, but everyone else does, too, so it's okay, right? ...right...?

Diana is... normal. Nobody really notices the way her gaze lingers on Bruce's body for a moment more than everyone else's after a long mission, checking to see if anybody is severely injured. Maybe it's just because he's human, so she wants to make sure her teammate is safe.

Barry grows increasingly red (nearly the same shade as his suit) whenever Bruce is near him. He doesn't understand why—he has a wife, after all—but maybe it's just the tall, dark, and handsome cliché getting to him. Maybe the Bat is just an awakening of a part of him he didn't know he had.

Oliver torments Bruce as a civilian and in uniform. He's one of the few who can interact with the Bat in any situation, and he uses it to his advantage. He openly flirts at galas (Bruce is forced to return the sentiment to keep up his Brucie persona) and during missions, and nobody outside of the JL can put together the dots that these two particular men are weirdly romantic with one another.

— or why the DC Trinity works because it doesn’t always work.

We love to frame the DC Trinity—Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman—as the ultimate team. The three pillars. A perfect equilibrium of mind, body, and soul. And sure, that’s poetic.

Pero seamos honestos: La Trinidad no funciona porque exista un equilibrio. Funciona porque existe un conflicto. ⚔️

They represent radically different ways of engaging with the world:

🦇 Bruce Wayne sees everything through the lens of control, justice, and prevention. He prepares for the worst, trusts no one fully, and believes that people, left to their own devices, won’t choose good unless watched. ☀️ Clark Kent believes people are inherently good. He offers trust before suspicion, kindness before force. He doesn’t prepare for everyone to fail—he prepares to help them succeed. 👑 Diana Prince sees the world as flawed not only in behavior, but in structure. She doesn't just fight individuals, she fights systems—patriarchy, war, deception. Her truth is active, not passive. She’s the sword and the olive branch.

💥 This creates friction. Not sometimes. Always.

📚 Where do we see this?

📖 Trinity (2002, Matt Wagner) — A brilliant look at their first canonical team-up. Diana is frustrated by Bruce’s paranoia. Bruce thinks Clark is too trusting. Clark tries to bridge them—he mostly fails. They’re powerful because they challenge one another.

📖 Justice League: Origin (New 52, Geoff Johns) — The tension is dialed up. Bruce and Diana are warriors. Clark is an alien god. No one knows who to trust. They learn, slowly, not to agree—but to cooperate.

📖 Wonder Woman: Hiketeia — Diana and Bruce are violently opposed in moral values. Diana protects a girl seeking ritual sanctuary. Bruce wants to take her in. Diana warns him, then fights him. It’s raw, personal, and rooted in differing understandings of justice.

📖 Kingdom Come — An older Bruce, disillusioned. Clark returns after exile. Diana urges war. Bruce chooses strategy. Clark wants diplomacy. The entire comic is an essay in how three people who love each other can fundamentally disagree—and still stand united.

📖 Trinity (2008, Busiek) — This series explores how they anchor reality itself. But even as they literally hold the multiverse together, they don’t stop arguing. Diana questions Bruce’s methods. Bruce challenges Clark’s restraint. Clark calls both out when they lose perspective.

This tension isn’t a problem. It’s a feature. It makes the Trinity dynamic, meaningful, and real. Because life isn’t about neat alignments—it’s about clashing beliefs learning to live side by side.

They don’t cancel each other out. They hold each other up. Even when it’s messy. Especially when it’s messy.

⚖️ The Trinity isn’t balance—it’s resistance, growth, disagreement, and love. A war of ideas wrapped in myth and capes. And that’s why they’re iconic.

The trinity is, in the end, a true friendship.

I mean, imagine Helena Wayne being raised by wonder woman, Harvey, Catwoman, Talia, Vicki Vale, Harley who wifed Ivy, Clark, Zatanna, Silver St Cloud...
