The integration of Apokolips feels completely at odds with what we know this season will be about—that after the events of the second season, the world knows about metahumans and there’s basically an arms race to acquire as many as possible. But then again, the second season also dropped hints about Darkseid’s imminent arrival before Young Justice was seemingly canceled for good. So while this teaser is light on the metahuman arms race, it does at least re-confirm that Darkseid is going to play a major role on the show going forward.
