A subject of much speculation since 300 director Zack Snyder first began production on Watchmen has been the look of the "costumed heroes" of the long-awaited comic adaptation.. Snyder repeatedly pledged he would remain loyal to Alan Moore's source material, down to the most minute details. But anyone who's read the graphic novel knows that the heroes' outfits aren't the most cinematic and could end up looking ridiculous on the big screen (think Adam West's campy Batman versus Christian Bale's badass Batman).
Well, we finally have some answers courtesy of Watchmen's official site. Snyder released images of his characters (sans CGI-dependent Dr. Manhattan) and they look quite impressive. Most encouraging is Nite Owl, who had by far the lamest-looking outfit in the comic. (Click the thumbnail on the upper left to view all five of the images.)
