Well after three issues the series has been a BIG disappointment to me, the story hasn't made me care about anyone.
But here are the recaps

Once the fight is over, Jimmy comes out of hiding to talk to the Red Hood. He tells him that he is working on a story about the death of the Joker’s Daughter.

-When Monitors meet and disagree.
The Blue tunic Monitor and the Purple tunic Monitor have words with each other with the other Monitors present. Blue is still upset with Purple over killing Duela but Purple sees nothing wrong with it as she shouldn’t have been alive in the first place. Purple argues that they have seen what happens when individuals stray from one universe to the next and must we have another Crisis to move them into action. Purple points to a computer screen and asks them to look at the loose ends left over from the last Crisis. One the screen is Karate Kid, Nightwing, Supergirl, the “new” Legion, Red Hood, Ion, and Donna Troy.
-Karate Kid locked up.
Karate Kid is locked up in the JLoA Satellite. Roy is at KK’s cell and is asking him what is going on in the future where they have to come back to the 21st century. KK tells Roy that he is some hero, keeping him locked up for no reason. Roy tells KK that he might free him if he would only answer the question. KK tells Roy that he is the sixth person to interrogate him so why would he tell him anything when the other five were actually in the history books.
KK: “Red Arrow”? Red? Is originally not in vogue in this time period?
Roy: Oh, because Karate Kid is completely unheard of. Hey, do me a favor, would you?
Wax off.
Karate Kid laughs.
-Pied Piper helps steal 100 Million Dollars. IS he back to being a Rogue?
Trying to prove their worth to Mirror Master, Trickster and the Pied Piper steal 100 Million dollars from a guy that made money from selling bad stocks to old people. Using his flute the Pier instructs the man to wire the funds to an account and then to jump off the boat they are on out in the Atlantic. Once the money hits Mirror Masters account he is happy with the transaction but is quickly deprived of the funds by Pied Piper who says that it is payback for MM killing his parents. MM tells PP that it is fair enough but if he crosses him again that he is dead. The Trickster approaches Pied Piper who is now outside and say that he figured out what is going on, that Pied Piper used his flute to make the man they just robbed swim five miles back to shore without even tiring. Trickster tells Pied Piper to transfer the money into his account or he will rat him out to the other Rogues. Piper had initially sent the funds to a Children’s Homeless Fund.
-Mary Marvel goes to Gotham and finds herself in trouble. And wait until you see who her rescuer is.
Mary is chased by three street thugs into an old church. The first thug comes through the door and tells Mary that the place has no phone, power or water since the ragheads moved out. Two hands are then seen grabbing the thug and pulling him up; “Ragheads? I detest that term”. And with a “SKLUTCH” the thug is dead.
MM: (thoughts) The mugger flies apart in more pieces than I can count. If I could afford to eat today, I’d be losing my lunch. Tripped over something or someone.
Mary looks around while picking herself up off the floor to see a number of dead bodies.
MM: …Who…? Who are they…?
Mary looks up top see a man in the rafters.
BA: Drug Addicts, squatters, real estate agents…people stupid enough to intrude upon my solitude…people like you.
Black Adam flies down upon Mary.
MM: Adam? WAIT! It’s Me. Mary Marvel.
BA: Well, then. This day is not a total lose.
