'Watchmen' ads begin with the costumes

Costumes for the upcoming Watchmen movie have hit the Internet, the first salvo in the marketing campaign (aside from the teaser poster). And holy crap, does Rorschach look awesome. The other characters have been altered a bit (Nite Owl looks like Batman if his cowl were wilting), but the Comedian (shown here) and Rorschach were kept pretty close to the original artwork. And the changes made aren’t a Dolph Lundgren job by any stretch. For the unfamilar, Watchmen is yet another Alan Moore graphic novel filled with moral ambiguity and general awesomeness (he also wrote From Hell and V for Vendetta), so the movie is bound to be good. In fact, the only thing more entertaining than the movie will be Moore’s reasons for hating it.
