I can't believe nobody's made a topic about this!

Comic is awesome, movies will probably be awesome as well. Shame they're

Spoiler

not using the giant squid creature thing that was in the comic. Bit disappointing since they're aiming for it to be really close to the comic otherwise. They've said the ending will pretty well be the same outcome anyway, so we don't have to worry about Nite Owl saving the day or anything like that...

Looks rather dark which seems to be the trend for the curent crop of films which kinda turns me off. But to answer your first question the Watchmasters watch the watchmen.

[Pav:3d]

Its looks amazingly confusing.

Im really looking forward to whatever the hell it is

I would hope so, it was a dark comic.

[General Kirkov]

I realize it was a dark comic just like Sin City, but I'm just simply not a fan of the current trend.

@AllStarz the Supervisor supervises the Watchmasters who watch the Watchmen.

[General Kirkov]

Sorry for the minor necro, but the Attendant monitors the Supervisors who supervises the Watchmasters who watch the Watchmen which comes out in 3 months give or take.

Update: Watchmen delayed due to legal shenanigans D:

Then who monitors the attendant who attends over the supervisors who supervise the watchmasters who watch the watchmen?

[General Kirkov]

The Commissar instructs the Attendant who monitors the Supervisors who supervise the Watchmasters who watch the Watchmen which comes out in 3 months give or take.

[AllStarZ]

I'm just going to cut this short by saying that at some point, the Watchmen must watch themselves according to law and morality.

Back on topic, a new pic has been released of the Comedian:

[General Kirkov]

They actually have some multi faceted props at the local movie theater, 2 with 3 characters on each side.

And yes the final segment of the checks against corruption is that the Watchmen watch the commissar so that he doesn't abuse his power. So it would look like this;

The Watchmen watch the Commissar who instructs the Attendant who monitors the Supervisors who supervise the Watchmasters who watch the Watchmen. /Kirkovian cycle.

Japanese trailer shows more footage, particularly

Spoiler

The Comedian's part in assassinating JFK, which was hinted at in the book. I'd actually missed that part in the comic, pretty cool they're including details like that. Also has footage of when that Superhero was killed in his apartment.

[Whitey]

Gawd I'm such a beast in that movie.

No seriously, looks good, especially for a superhero movie.

[RaiDK]

[Major Fuckup]

It's a mask-ish thing. Made from a woman's dress with the Rorschach pattern on it originally IIRC.
