Here's some definitions of "suspense" that I just found online:

A state or feeling of excited or anxious uncertainty about what may happen. A quality in a work of fiction that arouses excited expectation or uncertainty about what may happen.

In both definitions, the character doesn't be in outright danger; there just has to be something that leaves you wanting to know what's gonna happen next, such as, in this case, the Light being revealed to be plotting with Darkseid.
