A insinuação de que essas criaturas são paradásons não está apenas no clipe de Knightmare Batman, onde aparecem, mas em todas as outras informações dadas ao longo do filme.
This dream sequence hints at the eventual existence of Darkseid, but does not confirm it until the parademons are seen as a supporting military force. However, the giant Omega symbol on the ground is a trademark symbol of Darkseid, so much so, his signature power is called the Omega-beam. Modern depictions of the character have included the symbol on his armor.
The appearance of parademons varies widely, even their creator (Jack Kirby) was not consistent with their appearance. Overall, they are monstrous humanoids capable of flight, either using technology or in some versions via mutation. The flying part was the most important aspect since they were Darkseid's first shock-troop to open any battle. Armed with ranged weapons, terrifying speed and a degree of superhuman strength, they were the first enforcement Darkseid would drop to pacify an enemy force. Their swarming patterns, the picking up and carrying away of troops as well as their fast attack style is reminiscent of their appearances in the DC Universe. There are very few other known characters with this signature appearance. With the Omega symbol and their sudden appearance, it was a strong indicator of their existence.

Quando os paradélicos não estavam atuando como tropas de choque, eles também seriam empregados como carcereiros ou cães rastreando cidadãos de Apokalips que quebraram regras, cometeram crimes ou tentaram escapar da vigilância planetária de Apokalips. Eles seriam fornecidos como tropas de apoio para agentes de terra que apóiem essas tropas com poder aéreo intransigente.
Paradons só vai obedecer a líderes strongs e raramente tem problemas morais, desde que seus líderes estejam visivelmente chutando o traseiro. Se seus líderes perderem ou se encontrarem sofrendo baixas, eles são conhecidos por abandonar essa liderança e escapar através do Boom Tube.

Eles seriam frequentemente liderados por um líder cujo poder seria igual a qualquer membro da Liga da Justiça. Seres como Kalibak ou Steppenwolf, cuja capacidade de luta é igual ou superior à de Superman ou Mulher-Maravilha, tornariam essa força de invasão quase imbatível.
Batman v. Superman has made enough of an effort to hint at the existence of Darkseid, both through the dialogue (The dinner bell has been rung, he is coming...) as well as through their visuals (released in the movie during the dream sequence as well as in later unreleased footage) showing a being likely to be Steppenwolf or some other clearly alien being in possession of what would appear to be Mother or Father Boxes.
