It certainly doesn't make up for Morrison's shit use of Diana in Final Crisis, but I do like the idea that Darkseid, as powerful as he is, is so petty that he doesn't simply attempt to have Diana killed as he's getting things going during FC. In fact, he's that petty about his own humiliation that he has to humiliate Diana by pretty much forcing her to be the opposite of what she usually is. It's what she did to him, only on a much grander scale, really. He gets a teensy bit nicer, she gets turned into a leader of his new Furies.
