Photo ops are also a signature ability Superman is supposed to be good at, and he's supposed to do this because he's charismatic, speaks clearly and means what he says. Snyder's Superman is not a talker, Whedon added numerous talking scenes he didn't originally have with Snyder - like when he fought the JL, the intro and the last act. WE relate to him by him telling us how he feels and his opinions, being a silent god only puts more distance between us and him. IIRC he's heavily influenced by Dr. Manhattan, the person who is defined by losing touch with his humanity and he expressed himself more in the Watchmen movie than Superman in B vs S.
