The Silk Spectre looks incredible. I can’t get over how long her legs look.

I can’t believe this movie actually getting made. The novel is perfect. Without a doubt one of the best stories ever told. And how brilliantly told it is. I would have preferred Paul Greengrass at thehelm but we could do worse than Zach Snyder. DOUG NAGY GET YOURSELF A COPY OF THIS AND READ IT STRAIGHT AWAY!!! Im actually jealous of you. You get to experience the life-changing novel that is the Watchmen for the first time!

I love these pictures. I’ve waited so long for this movie!

What I like about the pics is that in a way you’re instantly reminded of other superhero films. And in a way, that was how you felt when you started reading Watchmen. Though you didn’t know the characters, the whole world felt familiar. You just understood it was a ‘superhero’ world. As the story unfolds, you find the intricacy and history of this ‘world’ and how much it really doesn’t have much in common with the comic universes we know and love.

So if your first impression is “this doesn’t look like Watchmen, it looks like a Batman film”, that’s good. That’s how people should be going to the film and expecting. They’ll get something very different.

I for one like Ozimandias. I like all of them so far. Not identical to the comic, but they have all their personality. I can’t wait!

i hope some of these are flashback versions of the characters

nite owl looks a little to fit but the overall look is great…and ozymandias looks way to young….

doug you should read this book as soon as possible.

its a great story….so great in fact that heroes pretty much ripped off the climax of it wholesale. thats because heroes doesn’t have an original thought in its pretty but ultimately empty head.

I am very excited about this film.

FUCKING awesome. Except for, yes, Ozymandias, for all the reasons above, but hopefully he’ll redeem himself with ass-kickery in the movie.

Overall. Love them all. Very excited about this film and glad Zach Snyder is at the helm.

I agree with many of the comments…nipples on costumes. LAME. But I’m overlooking that, this film WILL be incredible.

I’ve never read Watchmen, so these pics don’t mean much to me, but Ozymandias looks really young. I hope they haven’t made the same mistake Singer did with Singerman Returns: casting way too young for the sake of cranking out multiple sequels.

Brian, WATCHMEN is never out of print so it doesn’t need to get released again. It’s always available in some store somewhere. If it had gone out of print, the ownership of these characters would automatically revert exclusively to Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons, and I’m sure the company that holds Watchmen now would not allow that to happen. Just another one of those things that pissed off Moore about this whole thing.
