His portrayal in Annhilation Wave is part of the problem with his character, he has no cool, defining purpose. His meaningless posturing with Annhilus and T & A just demonstrated that even the creators didn't know exactly how to fit him into what was happening. He budges himself into Annhilus' plot without really having a defined reason for being there.
DS has a defining purpose, he believes he is, (by right) the master of all life forms in the multiverse, this belief puts him at odds with many people which means the authors can weave the intrigues of his conflicts with more authority than Thanos' authors.
In this way DS doesn't come off like a poser, he believes his vision to be the absolute truth that even those who oppose him are actually serving him, that even unto death, they die for Darkseid.
