But it does that already. Maybe I AM Alan Moore?

You might be. If you were writing Trinity War, would you have Superman anally rape Robin?

Don't laugh. Once Moore teaches his beard lice to do his bidding, the world is doomed.

That would be my second choice.

I seem to remember it being referred to as just "Twilight" when I first heard about it, but that was ages ago.

Anyway, Moore's story was the first thing that came to mind when I first read what Bleeding Cool wrote about it. Let's face it, DC/Johns has made it a cottage industry mining Moore's stuff in the past few years.

Correct.
And this is because Johns is a fan, not a creator.

I find it funny that any Moore fan would complain about other creators being inspired by work he did for the company years ago, since Moore can't do anything that isn't a riff off other people's work.

Grant Morrison, however, invented Watchmen.

Then again, Trinity War could imply Pandora and company...
“has probably something to do with the Trinity of Evil which gets introduced in DC’s FCBD comic. Pandora is one of the Trinity.”

“It appears to be the 3 original sinners, of which Pandora has already been disclosed. Let me just say that the identities of the other 2 will surprise and amaze you.”

“I read the FCBD issue from DC last night. Trinity War probably has to do with the three sinners of the DC New. One is Pandora, the other is the [REDACTED], and weirdly the last one is the [REDACTED]. That’s right. [REDACTED] is somehow magic based now. Also, they are punished by the seven gods who gave Shazam his power.”

“In it, there is a group referred to as the “Trinity of Sin.” This group includes Pandora,[REDACTED], and [REDACTED] (I have no idea why). The Rock of Eternity, a council of powerful wizards (thanks, Geoff Johns), sentences them to [REDACTED]. This may have something do with DC’s Trinity War, but I’m not sure. Maybe Pandora, [REDACTED], and [REDACTED] versus Wonder Woman, Superman, and Batman? Who knows?”

ooo, I can't wait to see how Redacted is designed.

I bet he has a high collar.
