My theory, due to the excess of Apokaliptan tech we've seen scattered across the series, is that Apokalips is pulling strings with the Reach, the Rannian (did I spell that right?) Science Council (cause a jump to another planet is just too dang big to only be related to one or two episodes), the Light, and the court on Rimbor.

Darkseid's plan? an alliance between Apokalips, the Reach and the Light (plus some other random intergalactic baddies who we have yet to meet) to provide an army of metahumans armed with reach tech for an allout cataclysmic genocidal attack on New Genesis (and maybe Oa as well) from an unexpected place (Earth) to finally eliminate his ancient enemies and clear the way for his pursuit of the anti-life equation

I gotta say though, your theory about Savage's plan does sound extremely legit. My theory is trying to figure out the identity of the puppetmaster and his/her/its motives
