You've seen the video of how to make a Rorschach mask. (If you haven't, it's under the cut.) How does the paint change color? More »

The Rorschach test is a hallowed tradition in psychology, and nobody is supposed to have access to those smudges that patients project their psyches onto. But a Saskatchewan surgeon has flouted tradition, by posting all ten inkblot images to Wikipedia. More »

We've shown you Ponderosa's... individual take on The Dark Knight before, but now the slash artist has turned her attention to Watchmen, and revealed that never-before-known connection between Sally and Ozymandias. Yes, really. Possibly NSFW. More »

That would be Dr. Manhattan. Yes, he spends a lot of the film naked; being transformed from an everyday nuclear scientist into what is essentially a glowing blue god with powers and perspective beyond those of normal human beings tends to make you less bothered about things like "clothing," apparently.

]]> http://io9.com/index.php?op=postcommentfeed&postId=5162353&view=rss&microfeed=true This is kind of a trick question. In the original comic, there isn't actually a group of people who call themselves the Watchmen. The superheroes all belonged to teams called the Minutemen, named for Paul Revere's militia during the American Revolutionary War, or the Crimebusters. The comic takes its title from the phrase "Who Watches The Watchmen?" (which appears at various points during the book, including as graffiti in the background of scenes), a translation of the Latin "Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?," from Plato. More »

The next Watchmen video diary is out, and it showcases all of the dohickeys and whatnots that fill up every single inch of Zack Snyder's movie. The best part of this film will be noticing all the little details and easter eggs and shouting about them. In this diary from Movie Web, you get a closer look at Rorschach's gun, the most beloved of all props. What, no love for Silk Spectre's Tijuana Bible? More »

Someone stole Rorschach’s plums and he isn’t happy. “Blotchmen,” a short comic created by artist Kevin Cannon, skewers Watchmen’s psychotic masked man by putting him exactly where he doesn’t belong: in a children’s book. Rorschach tracks his missing fruit through Harold the Purple Crayon and Where the Wild Things Are, leaving death and mayhem in his wake. More »

Zack Snyder reports that the "20 years in the making" Watchmen film is now in the can, although there's still the entire arduous process of post-production ahead. Given that master-of-space-and-time Dr. Manhattan is bright blue and nude half the time in the graphic novel, post-production is not an enviable task. We just hope they make antihero Rorshach's blots move around via some CGI techno-jiggery, because we need to see roving oil slicks to make us swallow this thing. Snyder posted the above image as a gift, and while it doesn't look identical to the comic panels, it's close enough to the storyboards. Just keep your fingers crossed for this comic book flick.

While Director Zack Snyder is working away feverishly to complete his live-action adaptation of Alan Moore's seminal Watchmen graphic novel, we decided to take a look at the three versions of the film's script floating around on the etherwebs. This project has had several stalled-out development attempts since 1986, and reading through some of these it's easy to see why. Check out the breakdown of the top three below. More »
