Before we dive into Trinity, we open with breaking ground on the big screen. Tom King talks about the upcoming Supergirl and how his Eisner-winning comic Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow became the creative DNA for the film. Tom walks through what made that story different—why he leaned into myth, loneliness, and moral clarity—and how seeing it evolve into a major motion picture feels both surreal and deeply validating. From there, this is Part One of a two-part conversation that shifts into one of the most emotionally ambitious DC stories of the year: Trinity, which wrapped this past December. Tom breaks down the core idea behind the series—using time travel not as a gimmick, but as a way to finally let Wonder Woman's daughter Lizzie truly know her father. Through fractured timelines and lived-in moments, Lizzie comes to understand Steve Trevor not as a legend or a memory, but as a man. It's intimate, character-driven storytelling that reframes the Trinity legacy in a way that lingers. We also widen the lens and talk Wonder Woman herself—what she represents now, what she's always represented, and why writing her demands a different emotional precision than almost any other character in comics. And yes—we go there. Tom is candid about his lingering regret in the Bat-corner of the DC Universe: Alfred Pennyworth is still gone. He reflects on the weight of that choice, the consequences of permanent loss in superhero stories, and how it continues to echo through his work on Batman. This is a thoughtful, no-BS conversation about legacy, responsibility, and why stories matter long after the last page.
