the bearded character V poses as in V For Vendetta: The Movie is based on Alan Moore.
i have only found a few changes, and ive been looking...
in addition to the previously mentioned oval going missing i have found that...
right before babs opens the door her neck and face have been altered a bit ( credit to l. panaflex)
the writing "just put a penny in the slot " is different on the "laughing clown" machine.
the penguin has been inserted into the bar scene. (alan moore was always there...)
also in the bar scene there are very small changes to some of the linework. dots for eyes are added to the bespeckled bartender and the man chomping on the cigar gains a moustache (or bigger lips?). a few more lines in a patrons hair here or another laughline there that could almost be due to better printing technology.
batman's reaction shot to the gun features a completely redrawn cowl and the eyes are different. this might qualify as a new figure as more than 50% of the line work is new or different.
and the joker is now smiling instead of frowning when he says "reminds me of a joke..." this last change really bugs me. that particular expression always really stood out to me and the change seems just one little step too far.
i think thats about it. something else that is changed are the full page blown up panels of the rain that previosly bookended the actuall comic.
i will always prefer the original for a number of reasons (nostalgia not being the least...) but overall i think the tweaks are great in and of themselves and brain bolland has more than earned the right to revisit his own work. and besides, if not for the new edition we wouldnt be talking about the book again...
something else i noticed while pouring over the pages this last week...
page one of his first flashback where he is telling his wife about his audition...panels four and five...who does that look like?
i see a young heath ledger.
