Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel still has the fandom questioning the civilians’ safety in the wake of Superman and Zod’s catastrophic fight, but the film’s storyboard artist asserts the intent was to always keep the scenes’ kill zones free of pedestrians.Man of Steel brought Snyder’s DCEU a rebooted Superman who was grounded and less optimistic but was mostly well-liked by DC fans. The same cannot be said about Snyder’s creative direction, which is a stark contrast to the hopeful tone of Richard Donner’s Superman. Unlike Man of Steel, the 1978 film starring Christopher Reeves did not portray or even suggest human casualties in its battle scenes. However, The Direct reports that although the controversial final fight in Man of Steel was pure mayhem, one of the film’s artists asserts that no civilians were harmed.Jay Oliva, who worked on Man of Steel as a storyboard artist, joined a heated fan debate on X (formerly Twitter) to clarify one scene that seemingly showed civilians caught between Superman and Zod’s rampage. That scene had Superman dodging a tank truck thrown by Zod, and then the truck crashes into a parking garage and explodes upon impact. The speculation was that pedestrians likely perished from the crash, but Oliva asserted that the creative direction was to keep that area clear of bystanders.RELATED: Top Gun’s Tony Scott Almost Directed Man of Steel, Reveals David S.
