I'm not saying that this is how everything is gonna be at the end of the season. Far from it. What I'm saying here is that this could all happen at some point in the season, it could explain why not much of the future changed after Bart went back in time, and it would all be a reason for some other time-traveling heroes from the future (i.e. Booster Gold, Legion of Super-Heroes) to have to show up and help Bart and the Team save the future with different methods.
