*Storyboard details of [[Zack Snyder]]'s original cut of ''[[Justice League (film)|Justice League]]'' shows that Darkseid was supposed to be introduced in the film.

*The familial relation of Darkseid and Steppenwolf varied while ''[[Justice League (film)|Justice League]]'' was still in production. Versions of the script had Darkseid and Steppenwolf as brothers, the children of Heggra, but the final version has Darkseid as Steppenwolf's uncle.
 
**In the comics, Darkseid is Steppenwolf's nephew, not his uncle.
