DC Comics has released new info on major story developments that’ll have ramifications in 2024 as they’ve dubbed a “Triniti of Evil” is coming. Along with the info, there’s plenty of cover art. So what’s the Trinity of Evil? It appears to be Amanda Waller, Queen Brainiac (more on her here), and Batman of Zur En Arrh, but it’s still unconfirmed.
What isn’t unclear is a newly minted Dawn of DC timeline, which you can view below.
DC also promised the Dawn of DC will continue through 2024, and next up for the lineup is Titans: Beast World. That event will have Beast Boy losing control of his powers, unleashing them on the DC universe with villains and heroes fighting to retain their humanity. Waller will leverage this to rid the world of metahumans.
Waller’s scheming begins in Action Comics #1060 and Titans: Beast World Tour Metropolis #1, both on sale December 12. She plans to recruit Super Heroes and Super-Villains for a new Task Force X, with Nia Nal, aka Dreamer, playing a vital role. What that role is, and who else will be enlisted is still shrouded in mystery, but fans will find out what Amanda Waller has planned for Dreamer and the rest of this new team when the new series Suicide Squad: Dream Team launches in March.

Then, in Superman and Action Comics, Superman (and the entire Superman family) will face Lobo, Brainiac, and the Green Lanterns. The six-issue crossover story “House of Brainiac” will see the release of Czarnians (Lobo and Crush’s species) who will attack the Earth.
Then, in December’s Batman #140 (“Mindbomb”), The Dark Knight will not only face his most brutal battle yet with The Joker, but Zur En Arrh will finally reveal his master plan in his relentless pursuit of eradicating all crime! DC then teased throughout the spring that the “Dark Prisons” storyline will run through Batman #145 – #148. Batman will have to face a terrifying figure from his past in order to survive Zur’s onslaught. And if he survives, DC promises a new enemy is waiting in the wings: Amanda Waller and the U.S. military.
Check out the covers of Batman #140 and #141 below.
