Alan Moore’s Watchmen is one of the most respected “graphic novels” out there and, you know what, it’s well deserved. Watchmen is entertaining, intelligent, dense with symbolism, chock-a-block with detail, meta up the ying-yang, funny, a little shocking, smart and really cool to look at. The movie will suck. If it needs to be done, it should be an HBO mini-series. The whole point of Watchmen (I feel) is the creation of this alternate universe — and this is accomplished with detail and loads of backstory. And that’s the first thing you have to kill if you make a 2 hr movie.
Anyway, Rorschach is really bad ass.
