I was finally able to read this over the weekend.
I have to say, it really does show where the DC Universe is headed: Each story got about 2-4 pages and the Bat-stuff got about 20.
Last Read: Zatanna and the Ripper vol. 1
Monthly Pull List: Alan Scott: The Green Lantern, Batman, Batman/Superman: World's Finest, Beware the Planet of the Apes, Birds of Prey, Daredevil, Green Arrow, Jay Garrick: The Flash, Justice Ducks, Justice Society of America, Negaduck, Nightwing, Phantom Road, Shazam!, Suicide Squad: Dream Team, Superman '78: The Metal Curtain, Thundercats, Titans
Okay so The Mouth of Sauron did prevent Wally from fixing the timeline
How
So is this right before when Wally got caught? Then they Flash Forward to Death Metal #1.
I guess he can do it since he's backed by Perpetua. I already read Death Metal but already forget since there's so much lore dump
Wait... no... the Justice League got Manhattan power from Wally, so they met first, and then because Giggles powered Perpetrator from Dark Multiverse with Continual Crisis, they lost. That's when Wally got caught... right?

It seems like the new management is desperate to turn a profit from the publishing unit (probably due to AT&T's debt load) and hit upon a solution by flooding the market with batbooks.

I swear to Oa, this should be, like, the first question asked of any writer taking over the GL franchise: Do you know the got-damned difference between a galaxy and the universe?
And if the new guy doesn't know, maybe someone should tell him. Not me, because I'll start swearing. Maybe Neil DeGrasse Tyson - he's got a pleasant demeanor.

You're not wrong but the Superman-family/Jon stuff was 8 pages IIRC and WW was heavily featured, both in the WW-family tease and throughout the issue. Batman did get more pages than any other character with the possible exception of WW but upcoming stuff for each member of the Trinity got significantly more screen time than any other character. We did get a heavy dose of Batman but it was all drawn by Jimenez and there can never be too much of his art.
I'd have liked to have seen a more significant/longer JL presence since the JL is at the center of the DCU. The only thing that happened in that section was to establish Black Adam's silly new name.

Absolutely! The Green Lantern Corps should be used to dealing with galaxy-wide events. Like when the black hole jets in the middle of a galaxy start up and they have to evacuate thousands of star systems before they get irradiated. That would be the Lantern equivalent of a "calling all cars, I need backup" situation. Serious and difficult to deal with, but not unprecedented.
Wait. That's not really his new name, is it? I thought it was some kind of a joke. That's the kind of thing Uncle Dudley would say. Shazadam!
The designation of Earth within the Multiverse means Universe right? Earth Alpha and Earth Omega are each a Universe, consisting of their own cosmos and planets? So the prison planet in Earth Omega is just one of many planets inside Earth Omega?
How does that work with Elseworld? Since it consists of alternate takes of the same character seems that Elseworld should be a Multiverse consisting of different alternate Universe instead of a Universe consisting of different planets
Anyone else know what's gonna to happen with the Justice Society of America ? Will Atom-Smasher, Jesse Quick, Hourman , Sandman , Cyclone or Wildcats return in an upcoming books. Or it look the future isn't bright given that the JSA run isn't going to launch soon or worse they were history !!
I would assume so, yes.
Do we definitely know what this Elseworld is, though? I think all we know for sure is that Elseworld and Omega are somehow the twin "centers" of the multiverse, and the Quintessence tried to imprison Darkseid within Omega. The name suggests a connection with the Elseworlds stories, but right now we don't have enough information to draw any conclusions.How does that work with Elseworld?

I wish I knew. Hopefully the JSA will return in its own book. They were part of Infinite Frontier #0, so hopefully this means DC has some kind of definite plans for them. Note that the story went out of its way to establish the JSA and Infinity Incorporated as part of the continuity. It could have just showed us Alan and his children, but they started with that monologue by Obsidian describing the history of the characters and showing us those photographs.
