Quote by Lord Aldemar:
Nobody here knows what Watchmen actually is. It makes me sad, and you people call yourselves the older generation. The graphic novel has been out at least twenty years. Batman is not in it. It is another superhero.
The voice over in the trailer, is that of the anti-hero Rorashach. He is the one with the ink patterns on his mask.
Old trailer is old. First one they released way back in July when Dark Knight was first in theatres. Not meaning to bag on anyone.
Well since I do call myself old.....
Not all of us were fans of comics/graphic novels (aka fancy comics). All my friends were big comic book guys, but not me, I always was the video game geek. So knowing or not knowing about this has to do not with age, but what people are into.
I know all about Superman and Batman - they both showed up in comics in the 1930s. I also know about a crapload in the Marvel universe, but mainly because my buddies I grew up with all worshiped one or more of the characters. One of my friends literally saw Spider-man four times, all on the first day it came out. He was in the movie theater for like 10 hours...
The movie looks ok, but since I don't watch "R" rated movies, I guess I'm out of luck
If they make a Rainbow Brite movie, I'm all over that one!
