He's closer to being like Marvel's Apocalypse - always plotting, never really accomplishing anything. Joker is DC's best villain as Thanos is Marvel's best, because neither wants what the traditional villain wants - they both have darker desires.I think DC rebooting to have Earth-1 & 2 is part of staging a multiverse collapse, to herald the arrival of the Anti-Monitor. He's a bigger and more different universal threat than Darkseid.
The CW shows are actually going to introduce the Antimonitor in this falls crossover Crisis event. In all honesty the CW crossovers have been really good.
