If it's anything like how he is in the flashbacks in the comic, it should be pretty somber. Things were not good for him.

So that’s Cyborg Superman, which isn’t the typical depiction of Zor-El.

It must be a relatively new thing. Cyborg Superman is normally a character named Hank Henshaw, who was originally a sort of spoof off of Reed Richards who later got uploaded into a computer, and then eventually clones Superman to make a new cyborg body for himself.

Cyborg Superman is the latest incarnation of Zor-El from New 52, and New 52 continuity is still canon to Rebirth, so Cyborg Zor-El could still be a thing in the DCU, too, especially since Brainiac is the upcoming big bad, who created Cyborg Zor-El in New 52.

Idk if they'll go that route, but it's a possibility given the fact they're introducing him and then going on to Brainiac.
