That's a sophmoric question, and Orion is not sophmoric.  Orion is the type to say, "This ends today with your death or mine."In fact, I would have switched the final sequence, so that Superman pulls Orion off Darkseid before the blow up.  And later on, Orion would have complained that Superman didn't understand.  However, the problem with this is that Superman is one of the stars of JLA, Orion is only a guest, so they didn't want to put too much focus on Orion in the story.  Unlike a New Gods story, where Orion is the main character.  I had a similar comment for the Demon guest story of JLA, where the Martian Manhunter is shown images by Morgan Le Fey.  While Mrorgan Le Fey's characterization was ok, I was not impressed by how they handled the demon.  While the Demon Entrigan was seriously impacted by Morgan, and is obsessed with getting her, I would have expected his verbal lines to be "set in rhyme" just like in some of the comic books.  Also, I would have expected to have seen Jason Blood a bit more.</blockquote>
