Man of Steel storyboard artist Jay Oliva defends Zack Snyder’s film after posting a new frame for Superman’s 79th anniversary.
For many, Man of Steel is not their favorite Superman film by far, while for others it served its purpose to usher in Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice and a whole new wave of DC favorites.
In 2013, the premiere of the first new Superman film in almost 10 years was met with a lot criticism.
Whereas Batman was usually understood to be the darker, more serious DC superhero, Man of Steel introduced a troubled Clark Kent surrounded by Snyder’s gloomy, unique visual style.
