Why is this Man Smiling?

Trinity came out last week. I read it. Sadly, I have a feeling I will purchase all 52 issues over the next year.

The one thing that Trinity is likely to succeed on is that it's focusing on DC's big three: Supes, Bats, and Wonder Woman (who recently found a dead body near DC...look it up, it's true).

Of course, I fear both the success and failure of this series. If it succeeds, they'll say "Let's pick three more superheroes" (ignoring the return of the Brave and the Bold which features a russian roulette of superheroes). If it fails, they'll say "well now that Final Crisis is over and since we're waiting for Ultimate Crisis: The Final Shocker, we'll try it again with these three."

But, I will say the first issue was ok. It's all about who is this dude they're dreaming?

Just like, who is this rando god that's walking around JSA? And why does he smile all the time? He healed Damage, which makes me ask the question: how do they kill off Bart Allen whose own series lasted longer than Damage's did when he was a kid (and had a stupid looking bowl haircut) and who was on a better selling team title (The Titans, sucked, but Young Justice, rocked)?

And are the new gods these gangster dudes or are there gonna be real new gods like they displayed in the Final Crisis sketch book?

And what is Final Crisis? Why is final? Does anyone understand the monitors yet? Can Uatu the Watcher come in and pimp slap them around a few times?

And why oh why is Spider Woman trying to convince Tony Stark he's a skrull? He clearly is not, his movie made way too much for him to be a skrull.
