The Trinity: Warworld (2022 Film)

The Trinity: Warworld is an upcoming 2022 American superhero film based on the DC Comics characters Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman. It is a follow-up to Wonder Woman: The Spear of Destiny (2021) and the fourth installment in the DC Multimedia Universe (DCMU). The film was directed by Zack Snyder, written by WallyGoat7, and features a cast that includes Robert Pattinson, David Corenswet, Alexandra Daddario, Bruce Willis, John David Washington, Erin Moriarty and Nick Robinson. The Trinity: Warworld is the first live-action film to feature the villain Mongul, as well as the first live-action cinematic portrayal of John Stewart, with the Green Lanterns returning to film after the box office failure of Green Lantern (2011). In the film, blood thirsty space tyrant Mongul summons Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman to fight to the death. The trio must find a way to free the prisoners of Warworld while escaping back home. Development began in late 2019, slated to release on August 19th, 2022.

Act I
The Warworld, miles of vast desert, not much to be seen. Nothing seems to be alive, then suddenly a rush past the dirt, it’s Wonder Woman in a cloak and cape being chased by security drones. She deflects laser beams with her shield, ricocheting and killing one, she throws her shield at the 2nd, and uses her sword to slice the third one into bits. She looks up, looking for more pursuers, and continues her journey. Suddenly, she hears a loud teleportation and thud from the arena, she senses she must go back and save the new recruits. She gets up, and flies towards the sound.

Title Card- Trinity: Warworld

On Earth, a freak construction accident has taken place. Beams fall out of a building in construction, about to hit somebody’s car. Luckily, Superman saves the beam and lifts it in mid air, with Supergirl. The duo laser the beam back in place and wave to the construction workers. He and his cousin fly to the top of a nearby building where they can survey the city.

Supergirl

So, you and Lois?

Superman

What about us?

Supergirl

Well I mean it’s been a year, Clark. You haven’t even gotten around to ask her out yet?

Superman

Listen, Kara, I can’t just-

Supergirl

Are you scared?

Superman

What? No of course not it’s just-

Supergirl

You can stop trains with a pinky but you’re scared to ask Lois Lane on a date?

Superman

* chuckles* Well when you put it like that. Fine, I’ll ask tonight.

Supergirl.

Good, because she’d definitely say yes.

Superman

Yeah I hope so. So how’s life as Kara Jones?

Supergirl

It’s going great actually! I just got my first book published. How does Kara Jones, New York Times bestseller sound?

She motions her hands outwards as if she were pitching a sale.

Superman

That’s great Kara! You know, Pa always used to say-

Suddenly, Superman is taken away by a blue flash of light. Not a trace is left, not even a scorch mark on the ground.

Supergirl

Clark?

Kara flies up to check out the situation, and sees nothing.

Supergirl

CLARK!!

Meanwhile in Gotham, Batman, Robin and Batgirl are chasing the escaped Killer Moth and his gang. The trio make quick work of the gang, and Batman gets a hold of a terrified Killer Moth.

Batman

Where are they? Where did you move the drugs to?

Robin

Yeah, I’d tell him before he gets really mad big guy.

Killer Moth

Please! Please, I have a family!

Batman punches Killer Moth in the face once.

Batman

You should’ve thought of that before you-

Suddenly, the same flash of blue light takes Batman away from the scene of the crime. Robin, Batgirl and Killer Moth look upwards.

Batgirl

Uh, does he do that alot?

Suddenly, Superman and Batman arrive on the opposite sides of an arena at the same time. Superman is sprayed with Kryptonite gas by one drone, and Batman is electrocuted and handcuffed in alien technology. The cheering crowd jeers, and a shadowy figure rises from his throne.

Mystery Figure

The man of Steel and the Dark Knight! The strongest and the smartest of Earth’s champions! The last of his kind versus the peak of his race, you two will fight until you bleed, until you die! Welcome, to Warworld!

The crowd cheers louder, a deafening sound.

Mystery Figure

I am your gracious host and your merciful ruler, but you may call me Mongul. Guards, restrain the two.

The guards take a Kryptonite powered neckbrace and surround it around Superman’s collar, and they take Batman’s utility belt from him.

Mongul

And now, we have a fair match-

Suddenly, a wall breaks in. Wonder Woman has arrived to save the duo from the warlord. She deflects beams with her shield, and cracks open the cuffs that are holding Batman.

Mongul

Kill her!

More guards chase Wonder Woman, but (along with Batman), she defeats them on her way to Superman. She cracks open the Kryptonite collar and throws it, and the trio make their daring escape.

Wonder Woman

We need to go! Now!

Batman

Not without my gear.

Batman chases a drone with his utility belt, scaling the stands and destroying the bot with his hands. He takes the belt, and grapples off from the 20 feet high stands.

Batman

Now we leave. Protect us from the drones, I’ll hold Superman.

The trio fight their way out through the hole, and once in the clear Wonder Woman grabs the both of them and flies off. A drone approaches Mongul.

Drone

They escaped, my lord.

Mongul

Find them, and drag their corpses back into my arena.

Meanwhile, the trio have found a cave to hide in. Drones fly by the cave, undetected.

Batman

Where is this?

Wonder Woman

We are on the Warworld. A dead planet cyberformed by the Mongul, turning it into his personal battlefield. How is he?

Superman

I’ve been better. I don’t believe I’ve introduced myself, I’m-

WW and Batman

Superman.

Superman

So you’ve heard of me.

Batman

Who hasn’t. Metropolis’ own human wrecking ball.

Superman

Uh huh.

Superman uses his see through vision through Batman’s cowl.

Superman

And what is Bruce Wayne doing dressing up as a Bat in the night? Striking fear in the hearts of criminals and civilians alike?

Batman

You peeked. What I do saves lives, keeps needless violence from happening in the first place.

Superman

You’re a vigilante.

Batman

And what does that make you?

Wonder Woman

Enough. This endless bickering, we should be finding a way off this planet.

Batman

Hm. Where in space are we?

Wonder Woman

I can’t tell, I can only fly so high for so long.

Superman

I won’t be able to do much until I’m better either. My powers derive from a yellow sun, and this planet’s sun isn’t nearly as close as it is on Earth.

Batman

Well how did we end up here?

Wonder Woman

Zeta beam technology. It was developed on the planet Rann, and somehow found its way here.

Superman

You’re the Wonder Woman, aren’t you? Are you from space too?

Wonder Woman

Not quite. Where I’m from, vast knowledge of the outer universe is taught to children, wisdom from Athena herself.

Superman

Like the gods? They exist?

Wonder Woman

There is more than your world, you just have to look.

Batman

Anything that can get us off this rock?

Wonder Woman

For the time being, no. I’m afraid not.

Meanwhile in Gotham, Robin and Batgirl look for clues as to how Batman disappeared in the batcave.

Batgirl

Robin, look at this.

Robin

A generous villain offering Batman’s whereabouts for the low price of $2.99?

Batgirl

Next best thing, look at this security footage from downtown DC.

On the footage, Wonder Woman and her protege are taking down the Human Tank.

Robin

Who is that?

Batgirl

Her partner, Dick focus.

Her protege takes down the tank, Wonder Woman seems to be congratulating her and suddenly the camera flashes and she’s gone.

Batgirl

You saw that?

Robin

She disappeared. Just like Batman.

Batgirl

You think it has anything to do with him?

Robin

Well it’s our only lead.

Batgirl

Then that’s where we’re headed next. You don’t know how to fly a jet, do you?

Robin

Batman would kill me if I tried. Butttt.. Batman’s not here. Let’s go.

The duo rush into the Batwing, and fly over to Washington DC.

Act II
The trio travel the planet to find a way off the rock, avoiding drones when they can. Superman is still weakened, and WW slows her pace for the two.

Batman

Is there anything else to know about this Mongul, Diana?

Wonder Woman

Aside from vague stories about his warworld? No, I don’t.

Superman

I might be of some assistance. I’ve been told stories about an intergalactic tyrant, a war monger who travels through space for the sole purpose of domination. He believes in survival of the fittest, down to the tee. He once tried to invade my home planet, Krypton, but was overwhelmed by our sheer firepower, and it ended his days of conquest.

Batman

Which explains why we were pit against each other. He wants to test the waters before invading the Earth, get the best intel.

Wonder Woman

But what of the crowds? They were ready for a battle, long before we arrived.

Batman

Yes. I suspect that Mongul derives a certain type of galactic popularity from gladiatorial events, once he retired from conquering planets-

Superman

He moved on to pitting other aliens against each other to the death.

Wonder Woman

Which would only increase his support, lessening the likelihood of a civilian revolt.

Batman

Which changes the mission. We can’t just find a way out anymore.

Superman

You’re right. We need to find the other prisoners and free them, all of them.

On Earth, Wonder Woman’s protege, Donna Troy the Wonder Girl, fights Cinderblock. Her suit is all red with stars across the front, similar to the suit worn in Teen Titans No. 23. She defeats the monster relatively easily, and leaves him on the pavement unconscious. Watching from the shadows are Robin and Batgirl.

Robin

Not bad, not bad at all. Super strength?

Batgirl

Meh, superpowers are overrated.

Wonder Girl

You’re… with the Batman?

Robin

Robin and Batgirl. We have some information that we think can help you.

Wonder Girl

Yeah and what could that be?

Robin

You’ve been short a mentor lately. Coffee?

In the coffee shop, three costumed individuals drink coffee while getting looks from the crowd around them.

Wonder Girl

Yeah, that’s exactly what happened to Wonder Woman

Batgirl

Did she leave behind a trace? Scorch mark, burnt grass, anything?

Wonder Girl

No, not a single thing. One second she was there, blue flash, and she was gone. It can’t help but remind me what she taught me of Zeta beam technology. Instant transportation from point A to point B.

Robin

Except the security footage of her going missing was from two days ago.

Wonder Girl

Yes. I’ve been looking for her since, hours searching through dead leads.

Mystery voice

Seems we all have a common problem.

Supergirl walks up to the teens in full costume, awaiting answers for her missing partner.

Supergirl

Superman went missing not too long ago, about 12 hours.

Batgirl

Exactly when Br- I mean Batman disappeared.

Robin

So whoever it is that kidnapped Batman..

Wonder Girl

Has also managed to kidnap both the most powerful man and woman on the planet. Who exactly are we dealing with?

Supergirl

Something alien. And thank Rao, I have some alien friends.

On Warworld, the trio hide from incoming drones as they pass by. Suddenly, they hear a large ship in the distance, and it’s being used to transport more captives to the arena. They know what they have to do, and destroy the drones holding the prisoners captive. With the little strength he has, Superman rips open the back of the ship.

Superman

You’re safe now.

Three aliens walk out of the ship, one Astonian (grayish humanoid race, think Saint Walker), one Korugarian (red humanoid race, think Sinestro), and a Tamaranean (humanoid race that resembles black humans, have an orange hue surrounding them).

The Astonian

Thank you, thank you very much kind stranger

Wonder Woman

Please, tell us your names.

The Astonian

My name is Quanta.

The Korugarian

I am Katma Tui.

The Tamaranean remains silent as they all look at him. He heads for the nearest female, which is Katma Tui, and kisses her. Katma Tui throws him on the ground.

Katma Tui

What is the meaning of this?

The Tamaranean

I apologize! My people, we learn language through the act of kissing. My name is Ryand’r.

Katma Tui

Approach me unwarranted ever again, and I will have your head for it.

Wonder Woman

I like her already.

Batman

Enough. Those drones probably called for back-up, we need to be on our way now.

In another cave, the team camps with the newly freed captives. Superman is no longer affected by the Kryptonite poisoning.

Superman

I took a large dose of Kryptonite, but I think I’m back to myself now.

Batman

Does that include breathing in space?

Superman

No, but my lungs take in more oxygen than human lungs. I can get into space and come back just fine.

Batman

Then that’s our plan. Get into space and see what it is we’re dealing with, and how far away from home we are.

Superman flies into space.

Batman

Superman’s alien physiology gives him Superhuman abilities. What is it you three can do?

Ryand’r

I can fly as well, but I can not breathe in space. But, I can project energy from my hands like this.

Ryand’r points his fist at a wall and blasts a hole through it.

Ryand’r

I am sorry!

Batman

Hm. And what is it you two can do?

Katma Tui

I am one of the fiercest warriors my planet has to offer.

Quanta

I do not, no I will not fight. I come from a peaceful family, it is not our way. It is not in my blood.

Batman

Well, it’s going to have to be if you want a chance off this rock.

Wonder Woman

Batman, please! We should be strategizing to get home, not assembling a task force.

Batman

We came from the same arena, Wonder Woman. We know what they’re capable of, and the most surefire way off this planet is through that. A task force is exactly what we need.

Wonder Woman

What was it? What made you so cold? So heartless?

Batman

The things I’ve seen, you wouldn’t want to know.

Wonder Woman

I’ve walked the Earth far longer than you know. Try me.

Batman takes a deep sigh, sits in silence for some time, and unmasks himself.

Batman

Where I come from, it’s a cesspool of constant violence, constant turmoil. It’s what took the lives of my parents. Shot dead, in front of a 10 year old boy. I wasn’t born with powers, but I was born into wealth. Ever since, I’ve used everything that I have to stop the same thing from happening to another 10 year old boy. To stop it from happening to anybody.

Wonder Woman smiles. Bruce is sitting on the lasso of truth.

Wonder Woman

The lasso of Hestia, you accidentally sat on it.

Batman takes the lasso and tosses it back to Wonder Woman.

Quanta

I thought your truth was beautiful. That is truly a fantastic contraption, Wonder Woman.

Wonder Woman

Please, around comrades call me Diana. All of you.

Batman

You shouldn’t be so quick to give up your identity, we all barely just met.

Wonder Woman

If we are to get off of this planet, we don’t need a task force. We need to be more trusting.

Superman returns from space and enters the cave.

Batman

What did you find?

Superman

Well, I can confirm this planet is cyber formed. Turned into a massive satellite moon of destruction. What I can’t confirm, is where in the galaxy we are. I’ve looked around, and I couldn’t find anything that remotely looks like anything I’ve seen.

Batman

So what are you saying?

Superman

I’m saying, I have no idea how to get home.
