Synopsis

Following the events of the limited series crossover Infinite Crisis, every DC comic series jumped ahead in-story by one year. The events of the missing year are depicted in real-time in the weekly comic book series 52. The "One Year Later" event started in March 2006, during the publishing of Infinite Crisis and before the first issue of 52. Most first issues bearing the "One Year Later" logo were the first parts of multi-issue storylines, and featured major changes to the status quo of each character, often intentionally left unexplained as these details will presumably be filled in by the remaining issues of Infinite Crisis and/or the 52 series.

Superman

The Superman storyline was co-written by Geoff Johns and Kurt Busiek, with art by Pete Woods (and one issue by Renato Guedes), and cover art by Terry and Rachel Dodson. The four-month, eight-part introductory story arc, entitled "Up, Up and Away" ran through both Action Comics #837-840 and Superman #650-653. The story primarily featured a powerless Clark Kent (having lost his powers in the climax to Infinite Crisis) using his skills as a journalist to defend Metropolis from both organised crime and Lex Luthor, newly bankrupt and disgraced due to his actions in the series 52. Gradually, however, Superman began to regain his powers, just in time to battle the embittered Luthor as he sought to inflict his revenge upon Metropolis with the help of stolen Kryptonian battle technology and redesigned versions of the Toyman and the Kryptonite Man.

Batman

The Batman storyline, "Face the Face", was written by James Robinson, with art by Leonard Kirk and Don Kramer. It ran through Batman #651-654 and Detective Comics #817-820. It concerned Batman and Robin's return to Gotham City after a year-long absence, and their investigation of a mysterious vigilante murdering low-rank supervillains (including the Ventriloquist and KGBeast), who appeared to be connected to Harvey Dent, who had reformed and had taken up battling crime on Batman's behalf during his absence. Whilst Dent was not responsible for the killings (the mastermind was actually Great White, who over the previous year had established himself as Gotham's reigning crime boss) the resulting stress, paranoia and resentment of being under suspicion saw the return of his 'Two-Face' persona and his self-scarring, thus returning to his life of crime. The finale also saw Bruce Wayne offer to adopt Tim Drake, the current Robin, as his son following the deaths of his parents and the events of the Crisis.

Wonder Woman

Unlike the Batman and Superman series, Wonder Woman was rebooted from issue one in June 2006 with a storyline called "Who is Wonder Woman?", written by Allan Heinberg and drawn by Terry and Rachel Dodson. In the story, Donna Troy is depicted as having taken over the Wonder Woman title in Diana's absence, while Diana is shown to have accepted a government position at the Department of Metahuman Affairs under the alias of Diana Prince at Batman's urging. She is directed by Sarge Steel and is ironically assigned to the rescue mission of the new Wonder Woman, who has been captured by several of Wonder Woman's super-nemeses demanding that the 'real' Wonder Woman be submitted to them. She is partnered on the case with a reluctant Tom Tresser. Within the story it has been revealed that prior to her admission into the department Diana was also photographed in the company of an eastern mystic code-named I Ching (implying that she spent most of the previous year travelling), and that the World Court has dropped the charges against her for the killing of Maxwell Lord. The story is ongoing.

Freedom of Power Treaty

Main article: Freedom of Power Treaty

There is a new Freedom of Power Treaty. The specifics and structure have not been detailed, but it appears to place limits on the activities of heroes outside their nation of origin. Having broken the treaty numerous times, Hal Jordan is considered a criminal by most of the world. Only the Rocket Reds, Green Lantern Hal Jordan, and the Outsiders have been confirmed to be affected by it (Green Lantern #10, 2006). The Outsiders are operating illegally and the organization is underground with all current members (excluding Nightwing) presumed dead. As well as this, the Chinese government has formed a superteam called the Great Ten in the intervening year, and is currently working on a supersoldier program.
