					<description>I have to jump into the discourse between Brian Spence and BradyDale.  One of the great things about Watchmen is the open ending.  I personally sided with Rorschach, and interpreted the recovery of his journal as a glimmer of hope for justice, whereas my twin brother chose the side of Ozymandias, acknowledging the necessity of sacrificing half of New York.  We each looked at one another, thinking &quot;what the f***?!&quot; and tried to explain why the other was wrong, to no avail.  I hope the film preserves the comic's highly discussion-provoking ending, rather than feed us one side or the other.

As for the nipples: that's gross.  And I really hope Dan has those love handles.  Laurie can't steer all by herself!</description>

					<description>I think that Silk Spectre look so f-in HOT! What's wrong with all of you comic book geeks, don't you like to see a hot babe in skin tight latex?? Damn, Malin Ackerman is fine!

 &quot;Oh, boo hoo it's not exactly like the original!&quot;

Have you looked at the horrible outfit she is wearing in the book? It looks like an trucker in drag! I think all of the costumes are awesome. What's wrong with a little nipple? I guess you guy were born with out nipples?

I sooo tired of you online losers trying to shoot everything down. Why not wait until you see the movie before you judge it?</description>

					<description>Jesse,
Some fans want extremely-literal translations because they're extremely literal-minded, sure.  But others see warning lights when a work threatens to diverge so much from the original concept that it's clear that the creator is just using the franchise as an excuse to do his own thing, which *might* be good on occasion but is more often worse than a literal-minded adaptation (ALIEN3, the LXG film).</description>

					<description>&lt;i&gt;Ozymandias&lt;/i&gt;: &quot;'Don't go outside wearing rubber nipples and a purple codpiece?' Dan, I'm not a shy, vanilla Puritan. Do you seriously think I'd display my fetishistic costume if there remained the slightest chance of you ruining my exhibitionist streak? I went dancing thirty-five minutes ago.&quot;</description>

					<description>Rather than keep up the sarcasm (which is really fun and really tempting, but already covered here), I guess I'll just ask -- why do people want remakes and reinterpretations to be exactly the same as the original whatever-it-is? And if people want direct note-for-note mimics of something they've already seen, why did everyone hate Gus Van Sant's &quot;Psycho&quot; remake? That's as &quot;faithful&quot; an adaptation as one can get, right?

Isn't the whole point of a new version of an old story to refresh it or reinterpret it? Otherwise, isn't it cheaper just to go read the comic again?</description>

&quot;If Dr. Manhattan isn’t fully naked, I’m worried we may see the most terrifying opening day fan protest in movie history.&quot;

Somehow I suspect Fandom Assembled will manage to give the filmmakers a break on that one.</description>

					<description>Brian... that's not a spoiler. In fact, it's a huge misunderstanding. You're just unwilling to admit the genius of what Ozymandias was trying to accomplish.
Rorshach... that bastard is the villain.

					<description>I really like these, with the exception of Ozymandias.  That pic makes him look like a villain, and in the book, he had more of a bright, colorful, family friendly look to him.  

SPOILER That's why it's surprising when he turns out to be the villain in the end. /SPOILER

Silk Spectre actually looks good upon my second look at it.  You don't get to see it that well because of how she's posed, but that's what she looks like in the book.  The Nite Owl looks like it could have potential when we actually see it moving on screen.  I see that there's a hint of a paunch...

Rorschach and, wow, the Comedian look perfect.</description>

					<description>What is going on here!?  Why are they determined to ruin something so beautiful as the Watchmen!

In the comic The Comedian's hair swept back at more of an 85 degree angle, his shoulder pads had an America theme AND WHY ISN'T HE SMOKING A CIGAR!

The Nite Owl and Ozymandias are just offensive!  In the comic Nite Owl was a tough vigilante who looked silly, and I wish they made this one look silly too so I could point to the screen and say &quot;he looks silly, he can't be a vigilante! hahahahahaha.&quot;

And why would they make Ozymandias' body black and with nipples!?  Helloo Batman &amp;#38; Robin!  It's like they're trying deliberately to have his costume evoke the neo-Egyptian aesthetic that Oz was so fond of in the book.  I understand that the old statues he reveres had nipples BUT HE WEARS PURPLE IN THE COMIC!

I need to see a full body shot of Silk Spectre to really judge (hubba hubba).  But I don't see any Silk...or any Spectre for that matter.  I wish they would have kept her in a black one-piece bathing suit with yellow gauze wrapped around her.  I also don't see any 'S' earrings!  I don't know who that is, but it's not Silky!!

Rorschach looks good.  It looks like that trenchcoat might be leather though.  I hope the &quot;human bean juice&quot; shows up on it! (heh)

All in all these images are ruining my comic book!!  I'm throwing it away!</description>

					<description>And yet people are complaining it doesn't look like the comic. It's not the comic. It's the movie - 2 separate media with their own sets of expectations and requirements. I only have to point to the X-Men costuming brouhaha ( no spandex, leather) to remind everyone of this.

And note I originally said, &quot;anymore...&quot;</description>

					<description>&quot;This isn’t the WATCHMEN COMIC BOOK anymore…

This is the WATCHMEN MOVIE.

Get . Over. It. &quot;

that's funny, it at least looks like it's trying pretty hard to look somewhat like a comic that came out a couple of decades ago that also happens to be titled WATCHMEN.</description>

					<description>UPDATE: Why does Osymandias HAVE an &quot;exo-skeleton&quot;?
Why don't super-heroes in comic-based movies wear COSTUMES?!??</description>

					<description>lame

didn't the director make all these announcements about his reverance for the comic?



but then again, if that were true, he wouldn't be making this movie, now would he?</description>

					<description>cool look can't wait for  the film the comedian is just oozing the bastard the charact ir as for nipples on Ozymandias and Nite owl because the original costuems from the book won't translate to film  without sucking though one thing missing from Ozymandias which hopefully is due to her proably winding up being CGI is Bubastis she should be at Ozymandies side.</description>

					<description>I dunno... if you look closely at Nite-Owl, he's definitely not ripped... I even see the traces of paunch.  

I think they've done a wonderful job.  If we're gonna bitch about these, we should bitch about the slight changes in font for the Indian Restauraunt sign... I mean seriously... they couldn't match the font?  How easy would that have been...</description>

					<description>Well, I'm happy with all of them.  They get across an idea of the character quickly and (as far as I can tell) accurately.  I especially like nite-owl!  First, he looks like a Batman analog that the movie-going audience will recognize as such (that's important), and even better I like the fact that the semi-body-armor will hide the fact that he's put on weight... Until he takes it off.  So he can still strike terror into the hearts of crooks, even though he's doughy. I kind of like that idea.</description>

					<description>But (he said, preparing to be ignored) this look for Nite-Owl fits the concept of the character. He's a Silver-Age hero in the BlueBeetle/Batman mold. If he were to look like Adam West no one would take the images seriously, so they borrow from a look for Nite-Owl and Ozymandias that the movie-going audience would be more familiar with. As a movie, it'd probably be better to connect to other movie looks than to connect to one initially designed only for comics. I'd rather wait and see. So far 4 images are not a lot to judge a whole movie on (unlike, say, &quot;Wanted&quot; which looks like it really took a detour off the path of the original story).

Plus this could be an image from when they're in their &quot;fighting trim&quot;, not older and paunchier 'cause that'd look really odd for a promo picture designed to sell a super-hero movie.</description>

					<description>WHAT'S WITH THE NIPPLES? Yo, the Sabretooth photo you posted earlier had unnatural nipple accentuation going on, too. What is with the nipples?
Joel Schumacher, may a thousand curses rain down upon your house!!!</description>

					<description>It's stills like this that make me so glad that I've long since outgrown that &quot;Oh my god, look what they've done with the printed version of ______ (fill in blank)&quot;

You know, I'll just wait until I see the actual movie and make my judgement then.</description>
