Fan Casting Highfather in The New Gods

As the great leader of New Genesis, Izaya always aspired to be a fair leader for the good New Gods, being their connection to the will of Source, the celestial force that governs their lives. But that was never easy, amid the eternal confrontation with Darkseid, his dark brother, and Apokolips. In an attempt that seems to have worked to stop the war, Highfather gave his son to Darkseid as a guarantee that he would keep his word and not interfere with Apokolips anymore, and in return, adopted one of Darkseid's sons. That worked until the day his brother decided to break the deal, killing his wife, Avia, in the process.
