I do suspect we are going to see Darkseid, but not until Season 3 (assuming it is coming). It would make more sense to introduce him at that point so The Reach can have the spotlight on them as the antagonist who is "front and center."

Assuming that is in the works, then it makes sense that things would get darker during the course of this season, although there will be just enough left to give some hope. Perhaps it's Virgil and company who end up coming through in a major way -- I can see them being those who come forward with their stories about what happened to them. (Or perhaps the other teens who were abducted... could we see Stephanie Brown return?) And that might set things up for Season 3, if there is one, in a time when heroes are truly needed and thus sets up who winds up on The Team five years later.
