What if the Season 2 invasion is a byproduct of The Light being backed by Darkseid in a plot to further cruelty and crime on planet Earth? The Light and their tendency to stay on the bleeding edge of technology may be due to Apokoliptan* backing, the invasion a means to crushing any opposition to the new world order. Intergang has already made an appearance during that episode with The Forever People, and there are no random occurrences on the show.

I think The Light used the mind controlled Leaguers to cause an intergalactic incident which will lead to the invasion.

my theory is the lights made the justice league (the six that went missing) attack apokolips (or some other foreign area), provoking whomever to invade and the justice league will be blamed.

There is human evolution....and then Human extinction

True, but Intergang and Apokolips have had an agreeable relationship for years. Theoretically, The Light and Darkseid could have agreed to arranged for the latter to invade the Earth in order to topple all terrestrial governments.

This makes sense. Using the six missing Leaguers to "provoke Apokolips" would discredit the Justice League, providing ample opportunity for The Light, Lex, Queen Bee, and Ocean Master likely their public faces, to "save the world" and steer the world populace towards nihilism and crime. Of course, The Light and Darkseid will be in cahoots.

@VampireSelektor: oh definitely, Darkseid is has to be working with the Lights, they already have some sort of alliance with Intergang when Desaad was supplying weapons to them...im sure Intergang is somehow tied to the lights...

Its clear Vandal sent the Justice Lords to attack various alien worlds to provoke an invasion. He left the League alive because the planet will still need there help to survive the invasion.

@Skaddix: But whom were attacked? The Reach? The Tameranians? The Zamorons?

Um...do Azarathians count as Aliens?

Not sure one of the previews has pictures of the league beating up aliens but i am not good at recognizing the species. Although there is a crossover event called INVASION! that is the probably the basis.

A little evidence for the Darkseid theory. Skip to 0:07

@krspaceT: Hmm? I wanted to point you to the news pundit at 0:09. G. Gordon Godfrey, aka Glorious Godfrey, a New God of Apokolips.

I wonder if Kid Flash experiences problems with his powers like he did in the comics.

I think the Light manipulated the League into instigating violence on several planets...as their is supposed to be nine different alien species showing up. Apparently, from the trailers, the public will lose trust in them. In order for the Light to take over the world, they need to discredit the League, if they just wipe them out, they will look like martyrs, The Light needs to look like the heroes I honestly do not expect to see Darkseid for another season

I didn't read this carefully. This is actually more tasteful than just debuting Darkseid in the second season.

i dont know about that, i think they would resolve the Apokolips ties now because remember, the show was at risk for cancellation, they originally could only do 10 episodes for season 2 but they actually got the green light to produce more, of course i dont want to see it get cancelled, but i would believe they would tie it up in case it does...?
