    Alan Moore's Worst Nightmare: Watchmen Video Game

    If Alan Moore had been even thinking about opening up to Zack Snyder's movie adaptation of his classic graphic novel Watchmen, this new video game ought to be the final nail in Moore's anti-social coffin. The game, entitled Watchmen: The End Is Nigh, has released a batch of stills that show Rorschach and Nite Owl cleaning up the streets with their fists. The end really is nigh, if they're expecting me to understand Moore's deeply troubled characters' psyches by mashing my fists about a game controller. It's like making a video game out of Moby Dick. Is nothing sacred? More »

    Who Names The Watchmen?

    Wondering why the new trailer for Watchmen seems to include characters calling the superheroes "the Watchmen"? The original comic stayed away from the word, except for the ominous graffiti that gave the series its title, so is this more squidtastic evidence of the movie moving away from the source material, or just admen demanding that the title of the movie appear somewhere in the trailer?

    What Were Alan And Dave Thinking When They Created Watchmen?

    A new book gives an amazing insight into the creative process behind Watchmen, the classic graphic novel by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons. And the more you see the different sketches and ideas that Moore and Gibbons tossed around, the more you see just how radically they were helping to reinvent the superhero.

    Deep Thoughts From 6 New Watchmen Posters

    Warner Bros. sent us six new Watchmen character posters, and it's like a visual seminar in brooding. Each costumed avenger has their own "I'm thinking about the world" sad-face moment: Silk Spectre gives her over-the-shoulder sexy brooding-but-ass-kicking stare, the Comedian gives good troubled-but-funny, Ozmandias' pretty kitty makes a cameo, and Rorschach wields some high tech weaponry. Check out high-res versions below. More »

Unconvinced? Check out this trailer for a very special episode of Super Friends and tell us that you don't see the similarity. More »
