My personal pet theory for all the Darkseid stuff is basically built around an army of superhumans powered by the metagene, controlled with Starro tech (I don't think it was ever stated that they used all the Starrotech, right?) or some other form of mind control, and sent via the War World's stasis pods to attack New Genesis. We would see the Earth-16 equivalent of the "Big Bang" from Milestone Comics, perhaps affecting one of Static's friends like Richie or Frieda or something, to give him a storyline. Using that army to bolster Apokalips's forces, Darkseid would try to commune with the Source and learn the last bit of the Anti-Life Equation.

Given that B'arrz needed help, I have the idea that Malefic is there spreading a telepathic plague, trying to gain the knowledge of the Life Equation and eradicate it so that it can't be used to counter the Anti-Life Equation. It would be a nice storyline for M'gann, who would be the lone survivor of her species (Plus J'onn on Earth), but having gained the subconscious knowledge of the Life Equation.

Then there's the Furies and Granny Goodness, and I think bringing Supergirl in under her control would be an interesting way to introduce her. Also a cool fight between Wonder Girl / Superboy and Super Girl would be an interesting premise for an episode.

There's so much potential to pull from.
