LoveWaffle, on a normal show, I would be inclined to agree on the overthinking. But this is a Greg Weisman show. You can NOT overthink a Greg Weisman show!

You seem to be assuming that just because there's a crapsack future, Darkseid and company will just run roughshod over our heroes. He won't. Because we are speculating that there may be other time travellers. The Legion of Super Heroes, for one. The Linear Men, for another. And of course, Booster Gold although you'll have to rework his origin a bit. Maybe he's a slave of Apokolips who somehow managed to steal away a time travel device with his buddy Skeets. Since Neutron lived in a reality where these future travellers haven't yet travelled to the past. Perhaps after all the time travelling is complete, he'll be living in a good future of puppies and rainbows and stuff.

There are still loose plot threads from Season 1. We don't know what exactly Desaad's master was planning in Disordered. Mannheim was robbing banks, but what possible use does the lord of Apokolips have for human gold? So it's perfectly natural to still have loose plot threads from Season 2. The biggest one naturally is what kind of "business as usual" Darkseid is transacting with Vandal Savage. The cryptic nature of Kid Flash's demise (the scarab used the word "cease".  It isn't shy about using the words "kill" or "die", and Greg is extremely specific with semantics). So the ending in BLOODLINES could easily be another such thread.

Oh, and about your point on Savage's Apokoliptian buddies, what did Mr. Desaad do when things start to go south for Mannheim?
