Although we know we immediately place the DC Trinity with Superman, Wonder Woman and Batman, this concept is relatively recent.
If you are a regular reader of the DC Universe you will immediately identify the DC Trinity with Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman. Actually this is a relatively new concept. For the vast majority of DC’s history, these three banner-bearing heroes would never cross paths in a group without the rest of the Justice League of America as a buffer.

Sure, Wonder Woman would team up with Superman or Batman on very rare occasions individually, but neither hero was ever as close as “World’s Best” to each other until very recently.
The first documented adventure with the iconic trio didn’t occur until 1985’s Superman Annual #11, the now-classic tale “For the Man Who Has Everything,” where Batman, Robin, and Wonder Woman help free Superman from the clutches of Black Mercy. from Mongol.
Even after that point, it was still rare to see the trio together. The first reference to them as DC’s “Trinity” was in Wonder Woman #140-141, for a story arc titled “Trinity ’98.” There, Wonder Woman, Batman and Superman meet again in a psychological battle against… her invisible plane.
The concept that arrived in the 21st century
It really wasn’t until 2003 that the “Trinity” moniker fully caught on, with the release of a limited series of the same name that tells a throwback origin story of how the three first met.
It was after that point, in the lead up to Infinite Crisis, that Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman fully established themselves as the three pillars that held up the DC Universe, primarily as defined by their conspicuous absence from 2006’s 52.
Upon their return, the now universally recognized DC Trinity was brought together as the essential core of a newly reformed Justice League.
Since then, the DC Trinity have held together in their respected position as the most essential figures in DC iconography.
Even on the big screen, this meeting of the DC Trinity has already taken place in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.
