A New Watchmen Poster For You to Fall For

Posted by Dr. Cole Abaius (cole.abaius@filmschoolrejects.com) on October 22, 2008

Faithful reader David hipped us to this brand new Watchmen Poster courtesy of tiny internet search engine Yahoo.

A few things stand out – 1) They’re still selling the movie hard for that March release date despite the lawsuit that seems to hang nebulously midair just like The Comedian in this poster and B) They’re printing taglines as writing on the wall. Anyone care to call them out for copying The Spirit? Didn’t think so.

Am I surprised this poster looks incredible? Nope. It’s a really cool mix of realism and comic style.

Everything Zack Snyder and company have done to tease the audience-base for this thing has done nothing but raise the fever pitch, and if they can keep it up through March, they’ll have a giant blockbuster on their hands.

What do you think? Does this poster look awesome or awful? Does it seem like they are selling the movie based solely on the audience getting to see a dude get thrown through a window? Wait, isn’t ‘writing on the wall’ biblical? Clever, Watchmen. Very clever.

  • Is the Comedian dude wearing a bathrobe?

    And where's the squid?! What about the squid?!
  • If it wasn't so dark, you'd be able to see that the Squid is in his bathrobe.
  • NOOO the squid threw him out!

    Really though this poster is the best I've seen since The Dark Knight was pimping out one a week.

    F#@$ I never should have read these comments... I was just getting into the third chapter
    of the book...

    :(
  • pun sense tingling.
  • If you look in one of the shards of glass...you can see a reflection of Captain America
  • Trace
    Brian's not kidding. You have to turn you monitor upside-down and turn the gamma all the way up to see it.
  • Sam
    No, Brian, it's clearly a reflection of Terrence Howard wearing the War Machine armor with no helmet.
  • I'm pretty sure I can see Lee Harvey Oswald with a gun in that window at the top left.
  • My God, this movie better be fantastic or I swear you'll see a fan boy meltdown like the world has never witnessed before.

    Excellent poster though.
