Firstly, if the film makers' main concern is how it looks rather than its content, I'm worried. Secondly, there seems to be far too much rubber fetish wear and the last comic book adaptation to have such an obsession was Batman and Robin. Fundamentally, the entire pre-marketing strategy seems to be aimed at convincing the moron fanboys who never got Watchmen in the first place (the type of person who saw a natural progression from Watchmen to Rob Liefeld's oeuvre *shiver*). They'll probably keep them happy by including lots of "realistic" violence and kewl special effects. But at the moment I'm assuming it will be sub-V for Vendetta and possibly even sub-From Hell. Well, maybe not <em>that</em> bad... To be honest, those photos don’t fill me with confidence. Firstly, if the film makers’ main concern is how it looks rather than its content, I’m worried.

Yes, they're going to kill it.
