Watchmen: The Animated Movie

[Silver Nemesis]

Here's the trailer for Chapter 1 of the new animated adaptation of Watchmen. The script has been penned by Babylon 5 creator and veteran comic writer J. Michael Straczynski, and the director is Brandon Vietti, who previously directed Batman: Under the Red hood (2010). The voice cast includes genre veterans Troy Baker, Katee Sackhoff, Adrienne Barbeau, Jeffrey Combs, Corey Burton, Kelly Hu and Dwight Schultz.

Chapter 1 is being released digitally on August 13th and on DVD/Blu-ray on August 27th. Chapter 2 is scheduled for release later this year.

Seems interesting. I'll give it a look when it hits streaming.

[The Dark Knight]

I'll eventually check this out. Overall I like Snyder's movie and this has the potential to be a nice companion piece - even more faithful to the material and in animated form. For a while I've been interested in diving even more into content like Sandman and V For Vendetta. I love the themes and how morally grey things can be presented. But Watchmen would still be at the top of the tree for me. My appreciation only grows.

[The Joker]

Might be alright.

I remember the Watchmen animated motion comic dvd/blu ray that was released back when the Snyder film was released, and to which was pretty damn faithful to the original source material. I guess the attraction with this, is at least, a more fluid animation style...
