Watchmen - An All New Set of Character Movie Posters

This latest set of Watchmen character one sheet movie posters blows away the previous set of character movie promo posters released last August. While the original character posters were photos of scenes taken directly from the Watchmen comic books, this set has more of a big budget movie feel to it. The marketing team has also done another fantastic job incorporating quotes from the movie into the posters. They have definitely built upon what The Spirit character movie posters started and taken it to a whole new level.



While I’m still not loving Ozymandias’ look in the feature film, the rest of the characters look spot on. Of the six posters each featuring a different main character, I think I like The Comedian’s the best, with Rorschach’s coming in a close second. What can I say…The Blot has to show some preferential treatment to the creator of the ink blot test, right?



I know I’ve said this before, but the more I see of this movie the more I like it. But, I am interested in seeing if the movie tries to show what it would be like if people with super powers lived among us or if this is a parallel universe totally different from the world we live in and more like the world author Alan Moore created in the comic books.

Watchmen - New Teaser Promo Movie Posters

This City Is Afraid Of Me
I’ve Seen Its True Face.

Everything about these new Watchmen teaser one-sheet promotional posters that pair a quote from the movie with a pivotal scene are really great. I thought The Spirit did a good job using quotes on their posters, but I think the Watchmen quotes have a lot more gravitas to them. I’ve included the first one below just so you can compare the two, but you can click here to see what I originally wrote about the one-sheet below.

Who Watches The Watchmen - New Movie Trailer

For this week and this week only, The Blot is going to try something different. I’m going to have a different topic each day with corresponding posts. No clue how it’s going to work but let’s try it out anyway. As you can probably guess, today is all about Watchmen.

If you saw Quantum of Solace this past weekend then you got to see the newest trailer for the upcoming DC Comics movie Watchmen directed by Zack Snyder. The trailer is absolute genius, and was so good I almost cried. True story. Now I’m kind of worried about what the effect the actual movie will have on me. Watchmen is an amazing story and is so much more than your typical heroes in spandex narrative. Thankfully, the movie appears to be living up to the high standards set by the comic book series way back in 1987. You can watch the newest Watchmen trailer below or go here to see a much larger version.
