Darkseid ’s ultimate destination is to findthe anti - life equation , which can be used to rob all sentient beings of their gratuitous will . This would allow Darkseid to essentially decree over all of existence . As far as evil plots go , that ’s about as grand as you’re able to get . think humans are the key to the equation , Darkseid has repeatedly invaded Earthand come into conflict with the likes of Superman and the Justice League - even succeeding a few times .

Darkseid has come along in plenty of DC medium over the year , let in the DC animated movie and boob tube universes , and even the ongoingHarley Quinnanimated series . Reportedly , a bouncy - action version of Darkseid play by Ray Porterwill appear inZack Snyder ’s Justice Leagueon HBO Max . Darkseid is also likely to show up in theNew Godsfilm by Ava Duvernay .
