''In my movie, Superman doesn't care about humanity, Batman can't get it up, and the bad guy wants world peace,'' Snyder says with a smirk. ''Will Watchmen be the end of superhero movies? Probably not. But it sure will kick them in the gut.''

''The average movie audience has seen so many superhero movies,'' he says. ''And some of this stuff is hard to take seriously. I mean, The Hulk? Come on.'' Snyder remembers screening some Watchmen footage for an unnamed studio executive. Afterward, Snyder says, the exec turned to him and said, ''This makes Superman look stupid.''

On Fanboy Expectations:
''They have a chance to support something that I think legitimizes the superhero-movie genre for everyone who says superhero movies are stupid, popcorn bulls---,'' he says. ''Hopefully, Watchmen can get in their faces and change their minds.''


They wrote an epic 6 page article on it. I was mostly interested in the front cover picture. Haha. And Snyder appears to want to diss all other superheroes in the process...

Cover is the shizznit

 

[Cinemaman]

^^^

Agreed, they could make a better design. And Ozzy looks just awful

 

[Carmine Falcone]

Shizznit is a positive word. I got tired of the word awesome.

 

[PyroChamber]

That cover kind of reminds me of this image...

Minus Captain Metropolis

[StorminNorman]

I love Snyder.

 

[Lauryn2000]

Saw the trailer during TDK and I must say.."Who are the Watchmen?"...I did like when the civilian asked if he/they would save them and he answered "NO"...too funny.Now,I must do some research on these fellas....I'm curious...

That's what I immediately thought! Awesome!!!

 

[Cinemaman]

So? I still think Ozzy is ugly on the pic.

 

[darkseid26]

Multiple scenes — the Comedian's murder, Rorschach's introduction, Dr. Manhattan's origin, and a hypnotic title sequence that shutter-flies through the history of Watchmen America, set to Bob Dylan's ''The Times They Are A-Changin''' — suggest a film that may capture more of Watchmen than anyone thought possible.

that title sequence sounds cool...

 

[Rust]

So? I still think Ozzy is ugly on the pic.

Yeah, I actually thought it was a parody of Watchmen since he was the first one I saw. Then I saw the others...

The eye-piece is not terrribly good looking. He looks too feminine. It looked alot better on him as an action-figure. I hope it's just that shot.
All in all I dont think ANY of them look very good on that cover. Maybe it just looks too raw...

 

[StillTheKing]

After the trailer came out I thought Ozzy's new design would work well and then they show his mask. There is something very off about it and I can't pinpoint what it is.

 

[[A]]

Gotta tell you.. Good thing they released the trailer first. Can you imagine if we had only get this hideous cover first..?! The horror, the horror.. That cover doesn't do the trailer justice

 

[Rust]

Not at all.

Just looks like some all to lit-up quick-shots with similar photoshopping done for the mag.

 

[PyroChamber]

I wonder if we'll get some promo shots of them seperately besides the ones we got before. Or better yet, maybe some movie posters for each character.

 

[Slusho]

that title sequence sounds cool...

I hope they keep the song in the scene
One of my favourite songs ever

When I first saw that image, I was convinced I was looking at action figures. All of them look wierd, especially put together like that.

 

[arman200]

The eye-piece is not terrribly good looking. He looks too feminine.

Which would justify the fact that Rorschach thinks he's a Homosexual?

 

[Sandman138]

Minus Captain Metropolis

Same, I can't believe people are ****ting on the EW cover. It totally gets the vibe of this picture down.

 

[protocida]

Mathew Goode looks like a cool guy, but Ozzy needed to be older and stronger.

But who knows. I Didn't like Heath Ledger choice as the Joker when it was announced and now i saddly regreat of that...

R.I.P Heath.

 

[.Rorschach.]

Snyder you are the man!I cannot wait for this.I thought waiting for the Dark Knight was bad..this is going to kill me.

 

[Sandman138]

That shot in the trailer of him in his aged make-up sold me.

 

[StillTheKing]

Has anyone seen this in stores yet? I thought it came out today but I went to some stores and they didn't have it yet

 

[Omega Wizard]

Ive had mine for like 3 weeks
