I know we covered these seven WATCHMEN during Comic-Con but those were shitty camera shots. Now Zack Snyder has made them officially official at the official WATCHMEN site and these you just have to see in hi-res. Here's a message from Zack: Comic-Con was great this year. Thanks to everyone who attended the Watchmen panel or stopped by the booth to say hello. It was great having the chance to show a little additional footage and hear what you all had to say. Here are hi-res versions of the limited edition Comic-Con posters. Click each poster to see it in super hi-res where you can examine for all kinds of hidden goodness (and debate whether Laurie or Dr. Manhattan has a better ass)!

Epic. These are the most HQ ones on the net right now. Also, I'm pretty sure Silk Spectre II's legs are illegal in some states...

Man, there are so many hidden things from the comic in these. Especially in the two Silk Specter ones.

I grabbed a digital version of the graphic novel to get up to speed with Watchmen. I've heard about it over the past twenty-odd years, but never read it; now's my chance before the awesome-looking movie :)

I'm starting to have more confidence in this flick... These border on sublime.



They managed to strike a perfect balance between your typical character onesheet and an artistic/avant garde kinda feel.



My only concern is that if this movie DOES turn out to be a masterpiece, it might not get the widespread recognition or appreciation it deserves. Sad as it may seem,...

My only concern is that if this movie DOES turn out to be a masterpiece, it might not get the widespread recognition or appreciation it deserves. Sad as it may seem, the simple fact is that the Watchmen don't appeal to as broad an audience as a character like Batman.



Then again, V for Vendetta did pretty well, so I guess we'll know come next June.

The details in the background are great little pieces of fan service. I'm still a little nervous, but I really am hyped for this flick!

The posters definitely capture the feel of the characters and I love the (mostly) accurate quotes from the book.



But does anyone else think these posters just look like terrible photoshop projects? I mean everything is so painfully fake except the characters. Well, except for all the non-blue characters anyways.



The backgrounds look like set pieces out of a Myst...

The backgrounds look like set pieces out of a Myst game or something. What's the deal?

Absolutely gorgeous
These posters are stunning. They perfectly capture the look and feel of the comic, and each and every character is dead-on. If the movie even comes close to the accuracy I'm getting from the promotion so far, it'll be one of the best super-hero movies yet.

Wow, these look awesome. I love the marketing behind this. I hate getting my hopes up for anything, but this movie is starting to make me giggle.
