Can someone help me out? I'm trying to understand the difference between The Omega Beams The Omega Effect The Omega Sanction When I look stuff up, it all sounds the same to me. So if they are all the same, why not just be "The Omega Beams", and that's it. Why include more to confuse people?

Because they're not really "beams" per se. The Omega Sanction is the "correct" term. Or Omega Effect. While, yes, Beam is said, Sanction and Effect are preferred. But they're all different names for the same thing.

I'm not understanding. There's no difference between Sanction and Beams? Why name them different then?

** Effect

They're just different names for the same thing. I don't know why they named them the way that they did. Omega Sanction, Omega Effect, and Omega Beam are the same thing, but Sanction and Effect are the "correct" terms for what he does.

But Effect has been used for life and death. Sanction just for teleportation. Do they look different?

JediXMan is correct. There's no difference between the terms.

The Omega Effect is the umbrella term and the source of Darkseid's power. Its the thing that allows him to bend space time and such with his Omega Beams.  
 
The Omega Beams are the red beams of energy that come from his eyes that he can use to teleport, disassemble, attack or outright destroy his target.  
 
The Omega Sanction is an entirely different function of the Omega Effect, wherein Darkseid transports his target to another point in space/time, and infuses them with Omega Energy, for a variety of effects. The most common of which is that they experience "the life that is death", constantly dying in different areas of space/time. In the case of Bruce Wayne, Darkseid used the Omega Sanction to prime him with Omega Energy, allowing him to traverse time, building on the original amount of OE, so he would have accumulated enough, at the end of time, to power the Hunter-Killer machine.
