Peter Ramsey direct Spider - Man : Into the Spider - Verse , but he was earlier involved in a much different superhero project . As a storyboard creative person , Ramsey work with JJ Abrams on his ( wild)unmade Superman motion picture , Superman : Flyby .
Recently , Ramsey get hold of to Twitter to share some storyboards he made for the film , which was gestate and then abandoned in the early 2000s . As you may ideate , from an artist and creator as talented as Ramsey , they ’re middling great . Much intimately than the script they ’re inspire by .
Some storyboards from a version of SUPERMAN written by JJ Abrams way of life way back in the day . Never made , but I had fun.#storyboards#Supermanpic.twitter.com / NidTQM3c6u

The first band put up by Ramsey showcase a match of simple , but iconic and dynamic Superman injection : the hero flying over the planet and through the city . In the latter shots , he seems to be quest for Ty - Zor , the Kryptonian villain of the film . The second set of storyboards features a mid - air battle between Superman and Ty - Zor , which is very Dragon Ball in an appealing way , and a nice close - up of a very magisterial looking Superman .

To compare , Ramsey also bear witness off some storyboards from Into the Spider - Verse , to compare the difference between his live - activeness storyboards and his vivify 1 , which sport color and more detail pay to the precise shaping and framing of the background knowledge .

A little#SpiderVerseto finish up off . you’re able to see the difference between bouncy activity and exalt boards ( at least the way I do them)pic.twitter.com/4nM13ilQO1
Abrams ’ architectural plan for Flyby were famously bonkers , include a not - at - all detonate Krypton and a Lex Luthor who is a UFO - hunting CIA agent . It certainly would have been more interesting than Superman Returns , but a script full of good ideas it was not . These storyboards , though ? These are choice . I ’m glad Ramsey pass away on to good things .
