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.
omfg i need

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…
Where can i get these?Local comic book shop?
