Not sure if you're asking about the movie or the comics. The movie did it as a call back to the comics when he came back from the dead
In the comics
Harshaw
is right it is supposed to make him absorb sunlight faster when he's been weakened. I believe in the comics his "death" was actually just him in a low power mode like a laptop when the battery gets too low

Yeah, Black suit in comics was essentially to augment his solar energy uptake and also provide some protection and whatnot. When he first showed up in it, for instance, he hadn't healed/charged enough to fly. At one point Supergirl (who at the time wasn't kryptonian, but rather a protomatter clone attempt with different abilities) turned invisible and carried him to keep others from realizing he was underpowered at that moment.
In some ways this was part of an attempt to "level squish" him to use Wow parlance and lower his power level as not too long before then he was still at "Can push planets around" levels of strength. Then "fully healed" was still a long shot from his previous power levels...
(Yeah, I was reading the actual comics back then...)

Yeah that epilogue made the ending of the LOTR trilogy look succinct in comparison. Cut that last 30 minutes (!!) down to 8 or 10 and the movie gets another half point from me. Still, totally insane how much better this cut is than the Whedon version. I would never had guessed the gap would be this big. Virtually every single character except Aquaman and maybe Batman are infinitely better in this than the Whedon version.

maybe they will continue Snyder's canon. otherwise why would they have included that epilogue? also we have a Cyborg movie? is that same actor coming back? isnt he suing WB cuz they were "mean to him"?

What-ifs like Injustice and Red Son are popular because of shock value and originality, not because people specifically want to see Superman as a villain. Please dear god never let Snyder near the Superman IP ever again.
That being said, I would say this was an ok pair of movies but even with the increased runtime there was still too much stuffed into a single movie. Warner Bros completely fucked themselves by trying to jump straight to the collab movie without having done the setups first.

Think you missed the point about the anti life equation, Darkseids hand on his shoulder, Batmans cowl in his hands.
I don't know how the equation is meant to work, but the whole point is, Lois died and Superman fell to the dark side as a result, fueled by a desire for revenge against Batman. Hence the scene in BvS
Cyborg’s Vision ‘Zack Snyder’s Justice League’ Showed What Could've Been
It was setting up major plotlines for the next two 'Justice League' sequels.

Anti life equation basically takes away everyones free will and gives whoever knows it full control.

Yeah, but how that is adapted for the intended sequel is something we probably won't know.
I guess I'm curious how losing Lois made Superman susceptible to it, and why he wasn't to begin with
And then why there's a rebellion against Darkseid that doesn't succumb to it. So clearly it's not like getting the final infinity stone where the possessor can click his fingers and bring everyone on a planet under his spell

I assumed her death somehow led to him getting the equation.
If its that Superman was only susceptible because he was sad or that he's able to break it with the power of love then that would be pretty dumb

A single tragic death turning Superman evil is the premise of the Justice Lords, although Injustice had him both murdering Lois, his unborn baby, and nuking Metropolis on accident to go evil.

What did yall think of all the music changes? Like when Aquaman rescues the boater, it was originally White Stripes' Icky Thump, and now it's some slow song. He really went with these kind of slow weird songs. I don't recognize any of them, but curious if these are well known, or if they were maybe cheaper songs he could put in?

Another q: Green Lantern, in this movie it shows him as a alien pig or something. Is that cannon or just someone who had the powers earlier?
Zeus v. Superman?
Wonder Woman narrating "And Zeus and his son Ares" (who ended up being my brother, and evil and I had to kill)

Snyder has a hard-on for old dudes with dramatic voices. Usually that means Tom Waits, but in this case it's Nick Cave;
And of course, the album for this track is "The Boatman's Call", which matches the content of the scene. And nobody in the world but Zack Snyder, Nick Cave, and my scholarly uncle would know this without looking it up. But that's how obscure music snobbery works.
