Description
Quis custodiet ipsos custodes.In honor of the movie, which I am eagerly anticipating. There's still a little time left to read the book if you haven't... I highly recommend it, you shan't be disappointed. Done in Photoshop in about 10 hours over a couple days.

NIce job! The movie was amazing, and they stayed very close to the graphic novel. My friends and I actually went in the the theatre with "Who Watches the Watchmen?" on the back of our shirts...No one knew what we meant...

Thanks. When I saw it, there were guys dressed as Dr. Manhattan and a theater employee dressed as Silk Spectre

really nice work Steve! 
i'm really looking forward to seeing this flick too. i'll tell ya this... it was back in the day after reading Watchmen that i stopped reading comics... it just made everything else out there look silly.

Nicely done. I like seeing the characters via Chavis vision. (Chavision??)
Looking forward to the movie .... but tired of all the promos. I like a sense of mystery prior to seeing a movie.

Yeah, I just ordered my IMAX tickets the other day. I'm stoked. I've actually never seen a movie on IMAX first. I've always seen it "regularly" in the theater then IMAX afterward.

It is sometimes a bit TOO intense. The screen is like twice the size of a normal one and the audio comes close to rupturing ear drums... but it's sooooo awesome!

I can't wait for the movie! I hope they stay true to the comic as much as possible. I didn't care about any other comic based movies changing things up a bit but Watchmen doesn't need to be changed any bit :3

I think (emphasis on think) it'll be okay because the director also directed "300" and that was almost spot on to the book. And I agree, there is nothing that needs to be changed.
SPOILER ALERT!
Although, I suspect they will leave out the bit about the comic book THE BLACK FREIGHTER because, while it was a nice metaphor for the book, I think it'll be too cumbersome for a 2 hour movie.

Yeah, I think they'll leave that out too.
I actually read on wikipedia that when they approached a different director and asked him to help with the movie, he refused twice because he said he could see the Watchmen more as a 3 part tv series just to fit everything in lol
They'll definitely be leaving things out and shortening scenes. I think the whole Mr. Manhattan narrative in the comic will be cut out completely lol Just because it was repeating and confusing as hell XD

I think a trilogy would be a great idea, but the American movie goer is not gonna sit through 3 movies of Watchmen. Even though it's considered the greatest graphic novel ever written, I think they might still have a tough time filling seats...
