Is Earth 3 Really Part of TRINITY WAR? Spoiler Heavy

I love that there's a whole 'secret' aspect to DC Comics' TRINITY WAR that's more akin to the manga series KATEKYO HITMAN REBORN in terms of the usage of symbols (more on that later). Here are some of the rumors swirling regarding TRINITY WAR which is happening in Justice League, Justice League of America and Justice League Dark.

KATEKYO HITMAN REBORN similarities

In a more recent story arc, the arcobalenos reveal that things in their world are interconnected. The 7 arcobalenos have a connection to the 7 Vongola rings and 7 boxes or Tri-Ni-Set (you really need to check the manga and the anime series, cause it's cool).

In TRINITY WAR we get the same thing. Here's a bullet point rundown:

• DCU Trinity (Superman, Wonder Woman , Batman)
• Trinity of Sin (Pandora, Phantom Stranger, The Question)
• Trinity of Justice (Justice League, Justice League of America, Justice League Dark)
• New trinity teams (Team Superman, Team Wonder Woman, Team Batman)

And they're all interconnected. With some of them being put together by the various characters and the various leagues. Plus on the horizon, there's also a new trinity...

THE TRINITY OF EVIL featuring Ultraman, Superwoman and Owlman (yes, the Earth 3 version of the Trinity) set to be revealed either at the end of TRINITY WAR or the start of FOREVER EVIL.

THE OUTSIDER and his Involvement

The OUTSIDER could really be Alfred Pennyworth. And it's not the FLASHPOINT Outsider but rather a name he calls himself despite coming from Earth 3?

According to rumors, this is the reason why the Kryptonite ring was easily stolen inside the very core of the Batcave. Batman is unsure who could do this especially since that room is DNA locked. Assuming "Evil Alfred" got inside the Manor undetected, he could've easily entered Bruce Wayne's secret bunker and steal the K-ring.

Going back to the Crime Syndicate of America or CSA, there's some interesting points raised regarding these guys. For one, there's heavy cycles of rumors suggesting that the CSA's unholy trinity will be appearing in September's FOREVER EVIL.

Earth 3 and the Crime Syndicate of America

Then there's some new information suggesting the following:

*Aside from Madame Xanadu saying that Superman didn't kill Doctor Light, she also says the "Trinity" are already here. And according to the more popular rumor, the Trinity she's referring to are Ultraman, Superwoman, and Owl Man from the Crime Syndicate.

*Pandora assumed Superman would not be corrupted by the Box because he's the strongest of heart, and yet we see that is--that could very well be a clue that the guy we assumed was Superman is not really Superman at all. Moreover, Pandora comments about how she says Superman is more human than she thought; correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Ultraman actually a human named Clark Kent who was genetically altered with Superman's powers?

*It would also explain why Superman violently lashed out against Doctor Light when the latter accidentally blasted Wonder Woman. On Earth-3, Ultraman and Superwoman are husband and wife, so seeing his lady love appearing to be attacked caused "Superman's" real personality to briefly emerge.

*When the Martian Manhunter uses his psychic powers to probe Superman's mind for answers, he instead see a Superman figurine with a message that says "Another trophy for the collection." Since the Watchtower was destroyed, it's very likely this could be referring to the trophy room of the Crime Syndicate.

*Superman is now experiencing coughing fits and looks physically ill. This could be because he's not being exposed to Kryptonite, which is how Ultraman becomes stronger.

*Superman saying how he can "feel" that something has been done to him, which we're supposed to believe is the result of whatever Dr. Psycho did to him. Well of course it is--because Dr. Psycho is likely the guy who used his telepathic powers to make Ultraman believe he's Superman, probably with Ultraman's consent. This also explains why he almost loses control again in this issue and has to tell himself how he's still in control--because his real persona emerges whenever he gets attacked.

*We have Firestorm pointing out how Superman illness is getting worse, suggesting it can't be the result of Dr. Psycho, which, of course, everyone, including the Question, ignores. Again, as long-time DC fans know, Ultraman gets his strength from Kryptonite. Which leads to...

*Firestorm being able to create Kryptonite. This is definitely going to be the Chekov's Gun down the road, I think, in which Superman will probably turn on his new teammates once they face Dr. Psycho and Firestorm creates Kryptonite in order to stop him--only to find out that it heals Superman and makes him stronger, thus revealing his true identity as Ultraman.
