The costume is not only for hiding his identity, but also for invoking fear in his enemy. And I can totally see, that a batman, who pre apocalypse is a gun slinging maniac, would be even more fearsome post apocalypse. Definitely more fearsome, than an elderly playboy, who just decides to lead the resistant, after Superman overtook the planet.

That was supposed to be Flash, couldn't tell. Anyway, it is simple I think: In this new Superman reboots, there is always the conflict in him between being a hero and helping other people, because his foster parents told him so. Or going full Dr. Manhattan. And General Zod showed him, that he could rule this puny earthlings, if he would chose to do so, and maybe that would safe them from themselves? That's at least one way you could see it.
So in the end, he is so far above and beyond humans, that he actually shouldn't give a shit, but Lois is the one thing that ties him to humanity and when she dies … well he won't build a glass castle on mars and pout, but wreck shit, I guess.

But I have other, simpler problems with this movie and I thought about it today after seeing the RC episode again. First of: it's a film about Batman and Superman fighting, so I really have no high expectations and honestly no one should imo.
However there were a few times where I thought, look movie, I'm not a clever man, but that isn't how things work. And I don't even mean clever film technique stuff, like Leon pointed out, I mean physics and logic. Just a few: how big is this damn harbor, that they can have a brawl of the gods there? The crate, batman throws over head, with his grappling hook at two thugs – nope. Lex just walking into an super advanced alien ship and is immediately captain, because he stole fingerprints?! And being at spiting distance to nuclear missile, when it detonates … he is Superman, I get it, but that is just not how things work.
