>>44646604>Are darkseids elites developed as characters at all?Not really. They're Darkseid's evil servants, with Kalibak being his lieutenant and commander of the invasion forces, Steppenwolf being his greatest warrior and commander of the Parademon troops, Desaad being his scientist and advisor, Granny Goodness being a torturer and the Furies being the top assassins.
>Is darkseid developed for that matter?He's got a clear goal, he's intelligent as fuck, pretty much unstoppable, and very evil. Straightforward Darkseid.
>Is he permanently defeated, or just loses the climax fight?Loses the fight, and it's implied he just wanted to test the heroes.
>How much military bullshit is in there? Transformers level involvement, or they just exist?There's quite a bit of military involvement. The JL is working close to them, but they're supporting characters. No one takes center stage.
>Are boom tubes, other planets, or space shown/used? (including JLhq)Boom tubes are there (and ver important to the plot). Some other planets (Earth, Mars, Apokolips and mentions of New Genesis), and no JL headquarters.
>>44646663Not in this movie, they don't disclose secret identities yet. Aside from one particularly good moment at the end.
>>44647064It's serious, and I guess some of you would call it dark, but it has an uplifting theme and overall tone.
