That's a good point. They can't just copy Thanos. I think their best bet would be to make him a little more purely evil and menacing. Thanos was, of course, menacing and evil 90% of the time, but he had a soft side. In other words, Darkseid should only show off his dark side (eh?).
Then it's just up to good writers and a good story to make him feel a lot less two dimensional. Villains like this have worked before (Joker, Bane, Hans Gruber, Sauron, Chigurh), but it's not easy to pull off.
The one thing I liked about Steppenwolf was how militant and straight-forward he was in combat. He was just hopping around and crushing Amazonians with his axe and fists, no questions asked. I hope that's how Darkseid is, but with more depth in motive and plan (obviously).
