Some images of the Watchmen costumes are out. I’m liking the Comedian’s look, especially. Some people have complained about the rubberyness of the suits, but I think it might be kind of brilliant. Look closely at Ozymandias… Yes, those are nipples. And after “Batman and Robin,” no one in Hollywood is going to put nipples on a suit, unless it’s a very deliberate choice. That, along with the rest of the outfits, gives the impression that this isn’t going to exactly be the Watchmen we knew. Because that, of course, was a commentary on comic book superheroes. But THIS is not a comic book. So maybe the commentary has shifted? I’m interested to see if that’s the case, and how well it’s handled. If I’m wrong, and the nipples are just nipples…
Well. God help us all.
