Fox and Warner go all in on ‘Watchmen’, will let judge decide instead of jury
Here’s your latest test for geekdom: On January 20th, are you going to be more excited by Barack Obama’s inauguration, or by the court hearing to see if Fox can block Warner Brothers from releasing Watchmen?
The two studios have agreed to let Judge Gary Feess decide whether Fox is entitled to an injunction blocking release of the film, instead of going to a jury trial which would delay the release. The hearing is currently schedule to begin on January 20th, unless the judge grants Warners’ request to move the hearing to an earlier date.
In addition to the agreement that the judge can decide the case, the two have agreed that neither will oppose requests to expedite an appeal.
My take? So it’s delayed. You kids today– you don’t even know what a delay is. I remember the months of delays just waiting for Watchmen #11 to come out, in the middle of a huge cliffhanger. Don’t even get me started on Batman: The Dark Knight Returns #3 or Camelot 3000 #12. (Oh, and while you’re at it, get off my lawn.) That said, I’m certainly looking closely at the outcome.
How long was Watchmen # 11 delayed?I don't remember it being that long?You also forgot Ronin was delayed considerably as well.

Oh, we haven't even scratched the surface of late books. Ultimate Hulk vs. Wolverine? Daredevil: The Target? Daredevil: Father? Planetary #27?
How about the mother-of-all-late books: Faust: Love of the Damned?
Chump change. Ask a D&D player how long they waited for The Temple of Elemental Evil.
Fiddlesticks. Chinese Democracy, my good man.

No fair– we aren't going to be seeing any new ones. But your point is taken.

Sonic Disruptors.
Sonic Disruptors was cancelled after # 7 due to low sales.Have you ever heard of a 12 issue maxi-series being cancelled?
But was Sonic Disruptors ever finished? If it was, I'm still waiting. If it wasn't, I'm still waiting.
