One Month And One Day To Go
And here's a fun little video to tide us all over. I quite liked how Rorschach's mask, just past the 2:00 mark, temporarily has the ink blots replaced by a big, black question mark... a nod, I'm sure, to his original form. By now most people know that each of the main Watchmen characters was originally a Charlton character (Rorschach was The Question, Dr Manhattan was Captain Atom, The Comedian was The Peacemaker, and so on) before Alan Moore was asked to re-conceive them. After all, the publisher wanted to avoid doing too much damage to the characters that DC had just spent money to acquire the rights to. Never mind the fact that nothing close to Watchmen, in terms of quality or significance, has been done with any of them in the twenty years since then!

Nice background video...perhaps now they don't have to explain all that to the movie audience.
