While the "Look at me!" moment is actually really cool, imagine how much cooler still a story like this could have been if Darkseid was being written according to Kirby's original characterization. You know, back when he wasn't just this big, EBIL lout who's easily outwitted and outmatched by the hero. That guy was clever, subtle, even wise and noble in a certain, twisted way, all the while still being completely evil.
Diana and Kirby's Darkseid seem to both be characters with godly INT, WIS and CHA - just at different points of the alignment spectrum - and a good writer could really do something with that.
