Copy and pasting most of this.
;D
Round One:
Superman vs Giganta -> Giganta (Sure, why not, I like the call, Jeff ;D )
Captain Atom vs Powergirl -> Captain Atom
Guy Gardner vs Firestorm -> Guy (I would pick Firestorm 9 outta 10 times but don't see two Element Lads making it through the same round ;D)
Jay Garrick vs Cheetah -> Jay Garrick
Aquaman vs King Shark -> King Shark
Conner Hawke vs Hawkman -> Hawkman
Lex Luthor vs Black Lightning -> Lex Luthor
The Demon vs Supergirl -> Supergirl

Giganta vs Captain Atom -> Captain Atom
Guy Gardner vs Jay Garrick -> Guy Gardner
King Shark vs Hawkman -> Hawkman
Lex Luthor vs Supergirl -> Lex Luthor
Wonder Woman vs Lobo -> Wonder Woman
Swamp Thing vs Cyborg-> Swamp Thing
Joker vs Red Hood -> Joker
Zatanna vs Metamorpho-> Zatanna (Wishing I picked Barda now ;D)
Round Three:
Captain Atom vs Guy Gardner -> Captain Atom (still want to see a Cap Atom/Firestorm battle here though)
Hawkman vs Lex Luthor -> Lex Luthor
Wonder Woman vs Swamp Thing -> Wonder Woman
Joker vs Zatanna -> Zatanna
Round Four:
Captain Atom vs Lex Luthor -> Lex Luthor
Wonder Woman vs Zatanna -> Wonder Woman
Final:
Lex Luthor vs Wonder Woman (This battle makes no damn sense, but here we are, I should have worked backwards ;D ) -> Wonder Woman
But it almost has to be Barda yeah? ;D
Wonder Woman vs Barda would be a good matchup!
My theory is that it's all pointless. We know it's going to come down to Supes vs Darkseid in the end. Bats, Supes, and WW will all walk away with no lasting effects and the Absolute-verse is going to exist indefinitely. To me, the real question is what happens to the Omega Legion and Booster Gold.

Not reading this, but going off whom you stated made it through round one...
I missed four.
Superman vs Giganta -> Giganta
Captain Atom vs Powergirl -> Captain Atom
Guy Gardner vs Firestorm -> Guy
Jay Garrick vs Cheetah -> Jay Garrick
Aquaman vs King Shark -> King Shark
Conner Hawke vs Hawkman -> Hawkman
Lex Luthor vs Black Lightning -> Lex Luthor
The Demon vs Supergirl -> Supergirl
Wonder Woman vs Starro -> Wonder Woman

Swamp Thing vs Vixen -> Swamp Thing
Cyborg vs Batwoman -> Cyborg
Joker vs Star Sapphire -> Joker

Zatanna vs Barda -> Zatanna
Harley Quinn vs Metamorpho -> Metamorpho
Do we know what's NEXT? Once this wraps up, what's the new arc for the DCU?
I still read the Titans religiously and some of the KO fallout is actually decent. The current issue (#29?) shows a more mature, grown up Amethyst and I love the return of Gemworld. Young Justice did it and her such a disservice.

EDITED! :D
How did everyone do in round 2?
Jim's:
Round TWO:
Superman vs Captain Atom -> SUPERMAN
Guy Gardner vs Jay Garrick -> GUY GARDNER BUSTED!!
Aquaman vs Hawkman -> Aquaman
Lex Luthor vs The Demon -> Lex Luthor
Wonder Woman vs Lobo -> Wonder Woman
Swamp Thing vs Cyborg -> Swamp Thing
Red Hood vs Joker -> Red Hood
Zatanna vs Harley Quinn -> Zatanna
I tried to do some wild swings....but it didn't work out. Lex didn't lose to the Demon, setting up Lex & Aquaman, and Guy Gardner is going at Superman.
Round Two:
Giganta vs Captain Atom -> Captain Atom vs Superman
Guy Gardner vs Cheetah -> Guy Gardner vs Jay Garrick
King Shark vs Hawkman -> Hawkman Aquaman
Lex Luthor vs The Demon -> Lex Luthor
Wonder Woman vs Lobo -> Wonder Woman
Swamp Thing vs Batwoman-> Swamp Thing vs Cyborg
Joker vs Red Hood -> Red Hood
Barda vs Metamorpho -> Zatanna vs Harley Quinn
I've only got two of my picks still in it. Lex Luthor and Wonder Woman.
I thought Red Hood won?!!
I guess not....What a poor issue! There was a KO over Joker! What gives!!? BOOO

What? Red Hood did win. I'm confused.
I need to go back and look at that issue again.
Oh ok. I guess Jason died from all the stab wounds and the last page has something restart Jokers heart. I guess Joker won. I'll need to fix my list above.
CORRECTION!
Round Two:
Giganta vs Captain Atom -> Captain Atom vs Superman
Guy Gardner vs Cheetah -> Guy Gardner vs Jay Garrick
King Shark vs Hawkman -> Hawkman Aquaman
Lex Luthor vs The Demon -> Lex Luthor
Wonder Woman vs Lobo -> Wonder Woman
Swamp Thing vs Batwoman-> Swamp Thing vs Cyborg
Joker vs Red Hood -> Joker
Barda vs Metamorpho -> Zatanna vs Harley Quinn
I guess I still have three picks left.
Jeff's:
Round Three:
Captain Atom vs Cheetah -> Cheetah Superman vs Guy Gardner
Hawkman vs Lex Luthor -> Lex Luthor vs Aquaman
Wonder Woman vs Swamp Thing -> Wonder Woman vs Cyborg
Joker vs Barda -> Joker vs Zatanna
I still have three in it!
The entire thing lacks validation after Swamp Thing lost to freakin' Cyborg.
>:(
And just kidding of course, I know how these things work
;)
