By having corrupted Donna say those things they made them just the rantings of a corrupted puppet. I honestly think the old guys running the comics are pissed off that the show exists and so made it a point to systematically destroy and devalue those characters one by one.

The problem is that its a terrible, terrible pitch. What really bothers me about this whole Dark Multiverse nonsense, is that writers are so creatively bankrupt the whole Dark Multiverse line/concept is 'let's make past stories darker and edgier for no reason.'
The worse part about Donna's situation is that based on solicits Wonder Woman is dedicating all her time and energy to saving Supergirl. Kara deserves to be saved, but Diana's top priority should be getting Donna back and let Clark deal with his cousin.
Maybe Diana intends to have Kara help her free Donna? Though the entire League should be on this job. Batman needs to get Commissioner Gordon back.

Dick is Ric, Roy is dead, Wally's traveling the multiverse, Garth, Raven and Beast Boy aren't being used, Starfire and Cyborg are pawns of Darkseid and Cassie just got back from a multiversal road trip. They'd care if they weren't caught up in their own issues and derailed by the editorial.
Now that I think on it, Donna and Cassie were never that close which is sad.
Well, Raven and Garfield are being used - it's just that Burning Rage has to be set in the past (since they and Starfire have their Rebirth costumes, I would imagine it's replacing New 52's first Teen Titans volume in continuity. That TT run can no longer be canon as the Superboy and Kid Flash in it have been retconned out of existence). There was a Titans series set in the present involving them both, but it's cancelled. The team, however, still exists. So they should be trying to get their missing teammate back! But then, they never attempted to undo "Ric"'s amnesia, either...

So it’s a classic set up roundhouse get free saves the day they forgive him
Yeah, but he's not saving Djinn and that's the one that truly matters. Not everyone has to hate and not trust him Djinn the only one you need that plot line for. Also, I think it will make the dynamics for the team more interesting. Everyone can forgive Roundhouse if they want to but Djinn not going to and that's more interesting in the long run.
