Watchmen Costumes Revealed!

Rorschach Movie costume!Snyder posted production stills of the costumes of the main 5 characters on the excellent Watchmen Blog. You can check them out here.

As for my opinion on them… I’d say I’m pretty okay with everyone except Nite Owl. I get that he was supposed to be a take off on Batman, but that doesn’t mean that you need to disregard Gibbon’s original cowl design to go with something that’s entirely too bruce-wayney.

I’m also going to withhold judgment on Silk Spectre II since the picture he posted doesn’t really give you an idea of the costune other than, “OMG SKIN TIGHT LATEX,” which might actually be enough, given the circumstances. Regardless they hit the mark exactly with the others.

If the rumors about the change to the ending are true I will be sorely disappointed, but who knows. I can see how the end of the book may not be as accessible to the general public, but I maintain that when you screw with something that is already successful when you take it to the screen you’re doing a disservice to not only the source but the people watching it. I know I feel personally insulted when “Hollywood” decides that I can’t handle something.

  1. Well, you don’t really have to worry about Alan Moore feeling disserviced because he’s completely removed himself from all films coming from his works…

    Dave Gibbons on the other hand…
