I haven’t read comics in a long time, but what gives? From the [CNN Batwoman article](http://edition.cnn.com/2006/SHOWBIZ/books/06/01/batwoman.uncloseted.ap/index.html) > [@](#): > > Wayne, of course, is Batman’s true identity – but he has disappeared, along with Superman and Wonder Woman, leaving Gotham a more dangerous place. ---

As of the end of Infinite Crisis, Superman’s depowered\*, Wonder Woman is travelling, attempting to find herself, and Batman, Robin, and Nightwing are retracing the steps Batman took in training himself to rebuild the trust between them, train themselves to work more closely as a team, and to help Batman get away from the edge he’s been teetering on for the last decade or so (real time, not nearly that long in-continuity). - He’s gotten his powers back as if the most recent issues of Superman and Action, which take place a year after Infinite Crisis. ---
