Storyline

1
The Justice League began having nightmares that the Earth was exploding around them and they were helpless to save anyone.
Black Manta captured Aquaman and delivered him to Lex Luthor.

2
Using computers inside Wayne Industries, the Riddler and his men hacked Batman's systems. Batman later captured him and he was returned to Arkham. The Riddler left some clues - an eyeball and an ear.
Flash found where Captain Cold and Poison Ivy had teamed up to create a small paradise in what once was a desert.
The villains were having the same dreams as the heroes.
Brainiac prepared Aquaman for surgery.

3
Martian Manhunter was mentally attacked by Grodd while searching for Aquaman.
Across the globe, "super-villains" continued making strides for the betterment of humanity. Even the press was picking up on it.
Luthor broke Edward Nigma free of Arkham; the Joker vowed "I can leave here whenever I want. You know that! I only stay here for as long as I think its funny!"
Brainiac prepared to do surgery on Aquaman.
Red Tornado was attacked while on monitor duty in the JLA's satellite.
The League's civilian identities were compromised.

4
As Luthor broadcast his propaganda to the public, Bizarro, Metallo, Solomon Grundy, and Parasite attacked Clark Kent; Sinestro captured Hal Jordan; Scarecrow and Clayface attacked Dinah Lance and Oliver Queen; Cheetah attacked Diana Prince; Toyman attacked Carter and Shayera Hall; Ray Palmer was hit by a sniper's bullet; Flash lost the ability to control his power.

See also: Justice volume 2 and Justice volume 3. Though this was not advertised as "in continuity," I see no reason that it can't be - the inclusion of the Captain Marvel family can be explained by this taking place after Earth-S was first visited in continuity.
