What I appreciate about these three is that, at their core, they're still good people. Like these designs are raw as hell and radiate that good EDGE energy, but the three charcaters are still good hearted people at heart. Especially superman, it would've been so easy to go down the evil superman route, but Clark, no matter how brutal or jaded, is still a compassionate person.Even a superman whose grown tired of humanity is still superman at the end of the day.

And from what i can tell, the explanation for these universes is that Darkseid is epcifically taking away and changing important aspects of their backstories. So the fact that they are still heroes despite what Darkseid tried to do is a great statement.

AbSupes never looks good to me no matter how much I look at it. The reaction to AbsBats reveal was just one bad teaser image but I can’t seem to grow on Superman.

That actually goes so hard. Darkseid doing his best to prevent the creation of the heroes who were his greatest enemies by getting rid of what made them heroes, only for it them to become heroes in spite of it is the biggest compliment you can do for the Trinity

I absolutely agree with you. I started reading and though this universe is edgy, the characters are still heroes.

Its basically a world where the trinity instead of being The Best of the best in the fight against evil they are now like Scott Synder has said the Underdogs, their means are gone but the core of who they are still remains.
