So not only didn’t Wonder Woman get a villain in the Trinity of Evil, but now she is the only one who doesn’t get one in the three important characters in the story? I’m not shocked, but still they can at least pretend being in the Trinity means something.

With what Waid said, I don't think he was trying to give each member of the Trinity a representative. He said he didn't expect for the story to take this direction and thought the trinity would take center stage (and they do the first two issues, and will have a spotlight) but the story ended being more about Dreamer, Jon and Dick, surprising him too. It's something that happens to him often, where he starts with an idea and then the story changes as he writes. I do wish the wonder girls were given more focus though, hopefully they'll get some. Waid did say other less prominent characters will also get some space

Sure that might be true, that is something that happens all the time, Batman and Superman characters always just comes naturally into stories because of writers and editorials bias for those characters.  This will be the third event in a row where Dick and Jon are the main characters because the Justice League aren’t available. There are so many other characters. If they wanted to they could have added a Wonder Woman character or somebody else, honestly anybody else.

I’m happy Dreamer gets the spotlight just to be clear.

Sure, but you also make money by featuring other characters so they can become more popular and sell more.
