every villain super, not super even real is not a villain starting out, there is some motivation some goal. Thanos[1] in love with death, the joker has a motivation for what he does, so does Bane. Galactus must eat words and feed on life energies..hunger drives him, Mongul has an agenda. So does Lex Luthor, Stalin, Hitler and Ghengis KHan....Darkseid for all his might. Once they took him out of Kirby's world of "New Gods" he simply has no motivation that I can see. Why spend all these resources on a relative primitive planet that is equally unimportant (No space empire, just one measly planet)He invades Earth what for? An invasion needs a reason. resources? he spend more trying to do that than he can ever hope to get out? Slaves? He breeds his demons even faster than Chinese on Viagra, Revenge against Superman...No invasion needed... But Darkseid is bad,he is evil! Yeah I get that, but why? Even Lucifer and Satan the most Evil characters of all,have motivations. Darkseid has no empire either, one bad ass planet bt one planet it is. If you read his actual origin, Darkseid has no real place in the DC Universe. The New Gods, Orion, Mr. Miracle , Big Bartha Oberon and the rest were created in a separate Universe created by a true immortal Jack "the King" Kirby.(New Gods could equally ended up in the Marvel universe) They were Shoe horned into the DC universe. Just as the Impulse characters year later. Why are the Green Lanterns not all over his gray behind? Why didn't Brainac not try to take Akropolis? Because Darkseid is simply an Afterthought ..made into a Superman foe because Superman needed yet another super strong enemy. Batman on the other hand is probably the most motivated, most driven super hero there is. All he has to do is ask Darkseid :"What's your motivation?" Darkseid will suddenly realize that there are Super villains out there who actually try to conquer the universe, invade places because they need something or want to change some cosmic condition.He then turns in his Badge and goes home.

[1] Yes I know these are Marvel characters
