The Dominators arrive and The Flash is pretty spooked.  He runs over to Star City to recruit Oliver and company, then hurriedly engages the services of the Legends of Tomorrow.  He and Cisco also pop over to Earth 38 to enlist Supergirl.  Team assembled, he explains that aliens are both real and pretty vicious.  The team commences training with their very own alien until Cisco finds Barry’s message from the future.  Barry confesses that he created a new timeline and wreaked a whole lot of havoc on everyone’s lives, which causes some team unrest.  The team has a lead on where to find the abducted president but opts to leave Barry behind.  Oliver sides with Barry and stays behind as well.  The team is quickly defeated by some alien mind-control mojo.  They immediately begin to terrorize the city.  Oliver and Barry try to control the situation but it’s a lot against a little until Wally goes rogue and shows up to incapacitate a few metas.  Wally goes down pretty fast but it’s enough time for Oliver to distract everyone while Barry tricks Supergirl into destroying the object that is controlling their minds. In the aftermath of the battle all of the non-meta heroes are abducted.  Wally wants to keep hero-ing but Iris, Joe, and Barry are dead against it.  However, HR agrees to help the young speedster level up.

DC on SCREEN #249 - Gotham 3x08 – Mad City: Blood Rush | Recap and Review

Jim Gordon is back at the GCPD, just in time for Captain Barnes, still suffering the side effects of Alice’s toxic blood, to start tear-assing his way through Gotham’s criminal underworld, ripping heads off.  He kills a mob clean-up guy, tracks down the guy who hired him, and tortures him into revealing the name of the guy behind the grisly murder: Dr. Symon, a plastic surgeon who kills people, takes their faces, and gives them to criminals looking to start over. Barnes catches him red-handed, so to speak, but he’s connected, so of course it doesn’t stick.. In fact, Symon is a guest at Lee and Mario’s engagement party!  An affair that neither Jim or Bullock are invited to, but must crash regardless.  Turns out there’s still evidence linking Symon to the crimes even though Lucius says that the beheading was done by someone else—and with their bare hands!  Barnes confronts Dr. Symon is the restroom at the party, and winds up throwing him through a wall.  Symon drops a few stories and lands on a car. With his last breaths he tells Gordon that Barnes did it.
Elsewhere, Ed and Isabella seem to be doing well in their relationship until she puts on her glasses and reminds Ed of Ms. Kringle.  He sends Oswald to break up with her for him as he believes he will accidentally kill her as he did Ms. Kringle.  Oswald lets her down with measured-yet-jubilant hatred, but Kringle refuses to accept it.  She dresses like Kringle to prove that Ed won’t kill her. It works! So Penguin puts a hit on her.
