Actually... even if everything else would have been what it was.. if (during him crying in Lois's arms after killing Zod) he hears someone calling for help, composes himself wearily and then we see from the angle of the child (or whoever) as the debris covering them is lifted away, and light floods into the shot with his hand, saying "it's ok, I've got you. it's safe now." The person hugs Superman, who looks pensively at Lois - she smiles, and in turn he smiles and hugs the person back. (something like that, anyway).
A scene like that would have gone a LOOOONG way to showing him becoming Superman, while also giving the audience an actual beat to breathe after the last 20+minutes (before switching to quips about drones and whatnot).
