So after watching the episode, I was like, "How does working with Apokolips/Darkseid fit with the goal of accelerating human evolution?" Then after watching some of the older cartoons and the Justice League: Doom movie, I came up with a theory. This whole time, Vandal Savage (and, with the promise of power from Savage, Klarion, Lex Luthor, and possibly queen bee) created and used the Light to further his and Darkseid's goal: to take over and enslave the human race. They didn't seem to care that much about abandoning Brain, Ra's, and Manta. In the comics, tv shows, and movies, Savage always wanted to enslave the human race "for its own good." The show has deviated from other material somewhat, but I don't think they'd go that far off the track. They wanted to use the metagene to create enforcers/warriors, not because they were sincerely interested in advancing humanity. I think that they convinced Darkseid that they had similar goals or told him that if he helped them conquer earth, they would use their power/resources to help him take over new genesis or whatever he wants to do. I'm also betting that each side plans to betray the other. Now I just wish that we could get a movie or another season to see if my theory is even close to correct.

Oh, and after seeing the end of this episode, I'm betting that the CN execs watched this episode, then said, "Let's troll the hell out of all the fans and just cancel the show after this episode just for the fun of it. It's popular, but who cares. It'll be hilarious."
