  1. Not a chance Aronofsky’s going to soften this up … he’s not at all afraid to make harsh, adult themed films and he’s a serious comic book fan so I can’t see him making this if it’s not true to the books.

  2. Actually Catwoman wasnt a shock. We knew it would be bad.

    And the entertainment industry running scads of “Hero movies you LOVE” on the week of Catwoman’s release are more to cushion the blow. They may have stopped this from being a Schumaker blunder.

    But Watchmen? Guaranteed hit. Oh wait. So was League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. I just hope its TRUE to the book. Watchmen is intelligent gritty real pulp hero stuffs. If they nerf it or neon it to make it sell then it will bite Liefelds.

  3. I think this announcement is just a panacea to those of us suffering from “Toxic Catwoman Shock.”

    The voice of Silent Snake adapting Alan Moore’s Watchmen for the guy who got Betty Ross to go ass-to-ass? It’s a pop culture implosion!
