I don't think Darkseid is involved with the Reach invasion, but he could certainly be monitoring the situation waiting for the right opportunity.

Still, you would think Darkseid would require a full season or at least of half season worth of episodes to build up the story and all. This isn't JLU or STAS where a Darkseid involvement would be resolved with 2 episodes.
