Marvelous SUPERMAN RETURNS Storyboards By Ed Natividad

As we get closer to the release of Man of Steel, here's the second post about the last Superman movie: Superman Returns.

Tuesday I showed concept art from a deleted scene in Superman Returns (2006). Today I'm bringing you the storyboard for the rooftop scene where a criminal shoots a gatling gun at Superman before a bullet bounces off his eye.

Ed Natividad is a professional storyboard artist and concept illustrator who's worked on films like Oblivion (2013) The Amazing Spider-Man (2012) and Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones(2002).

All images are from The Art of Superman Returns by Daniel Wallace.

Check out the rest of the pictures after the jump and click to enlarge.

Following a mysterious absence of several years, the Man of Steel comes back to Earth in the epic action-adventure Superman Returns, a soaring new chapter in the saga of one of the world's most beloved superheroes. While an old enemy plots to render him powerless once and for all, Superman faces the heartbreaking realization that the woman he loves, Lois Lane, has moved on with her life. Or has she?
