Seemed too soon to jump to that, he's supposed to be their biggest bad guy.

Seemed too soon to jump to that, he's supposed to be their biggest bad guy. Yet they basically made a Darkseid movie, only with a third rate relative in his place. How many Justice League movies about Apokolips invasions are people gonna want to see? Less than one, apparently. They basically blew their wad on Steppenwolf. |

In a perfect world, should the DCEU correct itself and they do another Justice League movie, I'd leave Earth. Like take the core members off-world to say, New Genesis. The Highfather and Orion heard of their victory against Steppenwolf. They need their help because Darkseid staved off returning to Earth in favor of reigniting the New Gods war. What they don't realize is that Highfather is sending them on a suicide mission to buy more time. But Scott Free/Mister Miracle helps them escape in return for helping him find a means of ending the conflict. Think of it as a superhero version of the old WW2 movies like a mashup of Where Eagles Dare meets Guns of Navarone. It's certainly different from the Avengers-until Infinity War anyway |

In hindsight, I think they should’ve just gone with Starro or something. Sure, it would’ve involved them fighting a giant CG monster, but it at least would be less likely to feel derivative of The Avengers, and they wouldn’t have had to worry about setting up another grand villain down the line.

i personally think that because they were introducing the new gods and whatnot they should have given people more of their world(s), I mean.... I would have flat out shown the world of Apokolips in a vision or if steppenwolf was actually brought back to darkseid at the end to be killed (as the deleted scene says happened).
now obviously we were kind of getting that to an extent in JL with the red sky stuff, but it was too cluttered......visual noise at its worst, all thrown in during a choppy action sequence; i mean the doomsday fight, was oddly edited (with Lois), and the electric bursts were dumb, but for the most part the battle was easy to follow.
my personal guess after skimming the article, is that the were going to hint at darkseid as a future villain, maybe not JL2.

It's certainly different from the Avengers-until Infinity War anyway I was actually thinking of Thor Ragnarok. At least in the sense of having a whole movie set almost entirely on different planets. That could work, though I still feel like Steppenwolf kind of killed Apokolips for awhile. It seems WB/Whedon knew that so they set up Injustice League and cut out this Darkseid cameo (which wouldn't have been a big deal, since Avengers 1 also had a cameo from Thanos). |

Though possibly derivative of the fourth act of BvS. Though I have always wanted to see a superhero or gang of superheroes cut loose on a giant monster. |

I think they'll revisit it in the future should things pan out. Wasn't George Miller attached to a New Gods movie? |
