New "Watchmen" Posters Echo Originals
Return with us to those thrilling days of 1986...
The Watchmen posters that debuted at Comic-Con are now online, and dang-- they're just like the promo posters from the original miniseries.
Don't believe me? Compare and contrast:
Larger versions of these images, as well as the rest of the promo posters, are posted after the jump.

The more I see of the trailers, posters and pictures posted on the internet, and such, the more I have faith in Zack Sydner getting the graphic novel right.
Of course, there will be some creative liberties, and some tweaking to make the movie more accessible to comic and non-comic fans. It had to been a tough job to try to find a balance between the two and be faithful to the graphic novel.
Inna final analysis, we'd all have to wait and see the movie.

Very neat, but by trimming you miss the clock countdown. ;)

Very impressive, though strangely enough, the side by side comparison of the Comedian looks like it has the most changes.

I agree on the countdown - but the countdown was off anyway. Comedian and Nite Owl were in the same position. Odd.
Yes, the Comedian does look the most different - probably because the angle adjustment lets you see more of the character. Of course, they didn't even try to do that with Manhattan...
