Superman saves the day, Batman is alive on a different earth or time, and the monitors decide to stop interfering with the multiverse.

Thank DC for ignoring all the plot threads he left for other writers to continue. The story is in continuity.

I have been listening to several podcast to find out what to make of it. I think I found one that explains everything I will try and post it some how

Bruce Wayne's existence can be explained by two words: Omega Sanction. That was explored in Grant Morrison's Seven Soldiers.

Spoilers from GM on Newsarama:

Darkseid wasn’t shot in the heart. We all know Batman doesn’t kill people, hasn’t killed people for 70 years and isn’t about to start here. It’s a big enough deal for Batman to pick up a gun. He winged Turpin knowing that the Radion in the bullet would be enough to poison Darkseid’s divine essence. Radion only kills gods after all. It slays ideas. After that shot, Darkseid is dying, just as someone with radiation poisoning might slowly expire, as Superman explains in #7. The Black Racer drags him struggling away into oblivion over the course of that issue until nothing remains but the fading, ghost-echoes of his malice.

The inhabitants of Checkmate Castle were escaping through the ‘Black Gambit’ graviton tunnel, as set up in Final Crisis #6 and anchored in place by the Atoms in #7. As time broke down, Lord Eye’s programming began to fail. Checkmate technology wasn’t up to the task of holding open a tunnel between two entire universes passing one another in hyperspace (the ‘Bleed, as Warren Ellis named it, or ‘Bulk’, as physicists prefer to call the same idea). Lord Eye tries to shut the tunnel down to prevent further damage, but that puts the escapees in danger, so Hawkman and Hawkwoman hurl themselves back into the fray to stop the Eye and save everyone’s lives.

At which point, Shilo Norman’s Motherboxxx takes charge, reads the co-ordinates off Sonny Sumo and dials up a Boom Tube connection to Sonny’s home Earth, now in ruins following the events of Countdown and Final Crisis! Everyone in the tunnel gets transferred to Earth-51, where the Ultima Thule finds them later...as Renee Montoya tells us on page 17.

Sorry if it seemed unclear to some readers but the words and pictures on the page do contain all of the information above if you go back and look. Is it presented in a carefully-composed ‘chaotic’ way? Yes, because getting caught between two entire universes as they skim past one another at the end of the world, while Justifier troops pour in through the walls to get you would be pretty chaotic and I wanted to capture that. This page is pure Pop Art – big shouty, jagged balloons with ‘TIME! SPACE! SHREDDING!’ and declarations of love. It’s the 4-D Roy Lichtenstein page!

From what I've gathered, if you REALLY want to understand what happens in the final issue of final crisis you're going to have to read the entire main series all over again and read superman beyond 3D as grant morrison ties in the events in Superman Beyond 3D so damn closely with what's going on in the final issue.

Yeah I know morrison was saying "HAY GUYZ YOU DON'T HAVE TO READ ANY OF THE SPIN-OFFS TO UNDERSTAND WHUT GOEZ ON IN FINAL CRISIS LOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!1!!!1!" but he lied. So yeah I hope this helps you out.

I been told I need to read suprman beyond 3d to get the ending of FC7.. I thought you didn't need to read the spin off of any of the final Crisis..

But I did enjoy the whole Captin Cold thing they did..

No, not really..however Superman Beyond does explain who Mandraak the monitor vampire is. As well as answers what Superman wanted on his tombstone.
