Coming out of seeing Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, you may have had some questions. It’s a massive movie with a lot of story, so questions were inevitable, but in using the Man of Steel. While the pilot Superman symbol was heavy, the series costume had a different look. Its basic shape recalled the classic design but was the most whimsical of all Superman symbols. It used large, sweeping lines, focused on the swoop at the bottom to draw the eye, and had a very pronounced 'S.' While the pilot Superman symbol was heavy, the series costume had a different look.

Zack Snyder is known for using Vero as his go-to social media platform, and he recently used it to confirm his intent with one of Batman v. Superman‘s most crucial sequences.
A fan recently posted some observations on one of the movie’s major scenes involving Superman on Vero. In it, a montage of Superman’s heroic feats are shown, overlaid with broadcast news discussions on the political implications of a being like Superman becoming a part of their world. There’s obviously a bit of religious symbolism here, as Vero user The Kingslayer observes (via Reddit):
Vero User: Love this scene and the Zimmer score. Sums up what BvS is about really. Clark trying to do the right thing but everyone just refers to him as some ‘higher power’ as they say and the Day of the Dead partakers put their hands on him, almost as if he’s a God they could finally meet. Plus, the symbolism of Clark being dragged down by the people who died during his and Zod’s fight, symbolized by people dressed as skeleton, honoring the dead. Maybe that’s just my overthinking – still, super-duper scene.
Zack Snyder: No, no, that’s right.
Vero User: Sweet!

The scene also recalls a nightmarish vision that Superman saw in Man of Steel (also directed by Snyder) in which he sunk into a pit of skulls of Zod’s victims, a vision of what could happen if he chose to side with the invading Kryptonians instead of to the people of his adopted planet. This scene provides an interesting parallel in that instead of falling under the weight of people he failed to rescued, Superman is being honored by people whose lives were saved. While the film is pretty serious, there’s something kind of touching about that.
