The New Watchmen Poster
ScanCase | 12:25 PM on 10.23.2008 11 comments




I am a huge fan of Watchmen and am really excited about the movie coming out. I really do believe this movie could change how people look at their favorite superheroes and Alan Moore has said himself that yes some of these characters in mainstream comics are insane. Take Batman and put him in the real world and you have a madman running around a citing beating the crap out of people. Anyways all the footage I have seen looks great I really think Zack Snyder has hit it out of the park and thank god he got rid of that giant squid. And so far the marketing has been spot on with that amazing first trailer and even some of the early posters looked like they belonged in this universe.







However the new official teaser poster has been released and I am not a fan. See for yourself.



It looks very bland and considering the fact that its revealing on the most climatic scene in the book and I'm sure in the movie it all looks rather stale. Not to mention the tagline on the poster is god awful. I know it fits the ending theme of the book but on the poster but it's out of place and conveys the message poorly. I'm just disappointed.

Also I wish this was real. I want a good Flash movie so bad I would whore myself out to hobos.

I have never wanted a poster so badly.

"Revealing the most climactic scene"? We learn about The Comedian's death in the first book, and see it in the second. It's not that big of a reveal.

I just ment that its one of the most memorable scene's in the book.

....thats just what I was thinking....

also, I personally love the poster, even the new tagline. Did you see the new trailer they showed on the Spike TV Scream Awards???? Full of awesome sauce.

I agree that the tagline is pretty dumb...who watches the watchmen is clearly the only tagline this film needs

I'm so excited about this <3<3 I have to finish reading it though. I put it down for a while cuz it's just so...heavy. Very different from the traditional comic.

Do want? Really, this whole movie business is making me a little uneasy. Not that I'm going to ignore it, mind you. I'm just worried about how it'll all turn out. All I do know is that the book was great.

Most climatic? Its the beginning, for crying out loud! It's a great scene but how can that be better than the rest of book, its shock full of awesome!

Watchmen is shaping up to be the next great comic book movie, in the footsteps of the Dark Knight.

 about me

Just like everyone else here I'm a twenty something nerd who enjoys video games. It wasn't really until I was about fourteen that I really started getting into games and other mediums. As a kid my folks never bought me video games, let me watch movies, or enjoy tv and "most" music so I lived a terribly dull nonexistence. For years I had been skimming along by sneaking over to friends houses and the occasional visit to my uncles who had an original Famicom. Thankfully that all changed and I've been overdosing on everything I can get my hands on since.

Sadly I'm not rich so as much as I love video games I can only play so many so often. However movies and tv happen to be a little cheaper. I believe that all current mediums in our culture cross reference each other whether it be good or bad. Games influence movies, movies influence tv, tv acknowledges that video games exist every once and a while.

Honestly I really enjoy this community and just want to contribute what I can.
