Why do the three boxes appear when the parademon explodes?
When Batman is fighting the parademon in the beginning of Justice League, he catches the demon with a net on the wall. The demon explodes after some screaming and twitching, leaving goo picturing the three mother boxes symbol refenced afterwards in the movie.
Why did this happen? We could say it is just trying to increase the mystery about the boxes in the beginning, because in hindsight there is no reason why an exploding henchman would leave these as a mark.
The other depictions I can remember do make sense as they were historic "aritfacts" of some kind.
Am I missing something or is this just bad writing?

Because the parademons have the motherboxes imprinted in them so when they detonate they leave the imprint on what they die on.

Answer 2
Because Batman is mortal and really has no connection to the mother boxes except if he were to contact Wonder Woman... They needed to give him something. It's also possible that the boxes originally aided in creating a parademon, which is why the symbol is imprinted on the object that it dies on. That symbol causes him to think that something bigger and much more dangerous is afoot, sending him to Aquaman and later to assemble the Justice League.
Answer 3
Unfortunately it was only there to give Batman the greatest detective in the world...a clue about something he doesn't understand yet...the only other clues he has are from other off screen 'sightings' and Luthor's notes.
On top of this, in the opening scene the criminal spells out for us, the monster is a solider/scout from space and they're coming because Superman is dead....This activates his next plan of building the justice league.
It was world class bad writing.
