Let's kick this entry off with a statement any comic book movie fan knows all too well. Justice League plain and simply missed the mark. This was supposed to be DC's Avengers moment, but too many issues to go through here led to its ultimately disappointing failure.

Four years later, the lobbying of Zack Snyder's fans paid off as the Snyder Cut was released in all of its four-hour-long glory. Inherently an improvement on the theatrical version, though still severeley flawed, the movie was received far better by audiences.

In short, Snyder gave the fans what they wanted. In one particular scene, this revolved around Superman's appearance after his resurrection. The black suit was rumoured and subsequently omitted from Joss Whedon's Justice League, but in the Snyder Cut, it was there for fans to rejoice at.

In the comics, Superman wore the black suit to maximise regenerating his powers after coming back to life, and it signified something of a new beginning for the character. In the movie, none of this was truly ever explored, and no explanation for the change in clothes was given. Instead, Clark Kent donned the black suit seemingly just to give those fans loyal to the director a kick.
