Fine, You Can Have One Final Watchmen Poster

Watchmen Banner!!!

It’s been a long hard road. We’ve waited almost four hundred and seventeen years for Watchmen to be made and released, and finally in March it’s coming to a theater near us. And you (if you’re lucky).

We’ve watched every single scrap of news – mostly because I’m a geek for the comic book – and it’s lead us here to this moment where we check out the final commercial poster for the film’s release:

Watchmen Poster

It’s lopsided. That’s right. After years of waiting, all the cool art and videos, the lawsuits and angst, we’ve ended the road here with this totally unbalanced poster. I’m guessing it was too difficult to throw Dr. Manhattan into the center of the frame.

I know there’s no one that comes to this site that hasn’t heard of Watchmen, but imagine if you will that you haven’t heard of it – Are you sold on it by the poster? Does this poster entice you to check out the film?

Didn’t think so.

    Thanks for pointing out the lopsidedness now that's all I can see when I look at the poster. Months of lopsidedness await!
  • I looks like it's a picture of individual actors then they've just pasted everyone together. Another poster magic courtesy of Adobe Photoshop (available in PC and MAC). LOL!
  • Seriously. I can't fault them since one of their characters is pure CGI, but I'm so sick of the comping trend in posters. Can't you get all the actors together for a poster photo shoot? Hollywood: You aren't as good at Photoshop as you believe.
  • I agree. The first time I saw it I thought, "Wow, way to cut and paste."
  • I actually like this one. Nothings going to stop me from seeing this. It's about time! I'm right there with you cole on the Watchmen fanboy stuff. I'm a huge watchmen geek.
  • Looks like it'll become the DVD cover for at least one of the fourteen editions it'll be released on.
