Rorschach is spot on, the Comedian seems right, Nite Owl looks updated but still cool and Ozymandias will take some getting used to, but they're not too bad.

I'd need to see a better pic of Silk Spectre, where her hair isn't covering most of the costume, and she's not in such a silly pose.

Jeffrey Dean Morgan as The Comedian

Patrick Wilson as Nite Owl

Matthew Goode as Ozymandias

Jackie Earle Haley as Rorschach

Malin Akerman as Silk Spectre

Look at the background of the Nite Owl image. That's his vehicle behind him... a vehicle that looks remarkably similar to the Blue Beetle's flying beetle ship.

I'm definitely looking forward to this. BTW, those that are concerned about the movie leaving out lots of cool, important material can look forward to the DVD release! While the "Tales of the Black Freighter" pirate story scenes will NOT be included in the theatrical release (due to time constraints) they WILL still be filmed, as an animated film, to be included on the DVD release! This was recently confirmed by the fine folks over at Mania.Com (formerly known as Cinescape.Com)

As usual, further updates as they come across my desk with a full review on day of release with pictures :p

Looks cool. Except for Ozymandias' suit looks like it was stolen from Tim Burton's Batman set.

Still way to worried about this movie. Multiple ways to F*ck it up. I mean, Look at From Hell and League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Both of them were killed by the movie.

I'm very, very excited for this. All the pics look spot-on with the exception of Ozymandias, and I can handle the changes there.

I've been reading Empire's previews and so far I'm looking forward to it.

If you haven't read Watchmen, get up from the computer, go to the local comic/book store, buy it and read it. It's not the sort of thing I normally read (you guys know I'm more of a Superman guy), but I think it is a classic. Stan Lee listed it as one of the best books he has ever read.

Methos says:

"Look at the background of the Nite Owl image. That's his vehicle behind him... a vehicle that looks remarkably similar to the Blue Beetle's flying beetle ship. M "

Nite Owl is based on Blue Beetle (all the characters are based on Charleton characters as DC had recently aquired the rights and Alan Moore is a fan) and the vehicle is similar in the comics if I remember rightly.

I'm really excited about the movie, though I fear they will have problems with a lot of details and complexity of the story. Just like in the "V for Vendetta" - Movie. B.d.w. there are some nice behind-the-scene video journals on the official Movie site.

It's hard to imagine they will do a great job with the limited time that one movie would have, to encapsulate all of the good parts of the story.  But I must say the trailer looked promising.

I made a thread for the trailer a couple of days ago, but this seems like much more of a "official" thread, so:

the trailer looks amazing...just based from what i saw during it i can't see how they could mess this up...plus it's done by the guy who did 300 so it should stay pretty close to the book

i just watched the trailer and i am almost teary eyed. It looks f@#king awesome. I no longer have anymore doubts that they wont pull off the look and feel of this movie. Now all that waits is if they can pull the story off.

I mean Manhattans scene...WOW
