The Watchmen Movie…Whatever
Tuesday, March 18th, 2008 by Rich
I’ve recently lent my Watchmen graphic novel to Andy as we’ve been trading reading material of late.
He sent me a link to a blog about the upcoming Watchmen movie. The blog got me wondering why every superhero movie has to have costumes with armor that shows ripped abs and overly developed muscles. The epitome (or is it nadir?) of this was the nipple-enhanced Bat Suit in the crappiest of the early crappy Batman movies.
I mean, look at Nite Owl here. I’m not sure what his story will be in the movie, but in the comics he’s a retired super with a pot belly. I don’t see any pot belly in this photo, do you?
Anyway, the blog mentions that the movie will be released on 03.09.09. As I said to Andy, I’ll believe it when I walk out of the theater complaining about how they got all the characters wrong and how it should have been a mini-series on TV.
