Oooooh. I'm still worried about the chances of them compressing the plot down to two hours without it going all pear-shaped, but at least now we know it'll be pleasant on the eyes. And Rorschach's line sounded amazingly creepy, which is a good sign.
Plus, this is one comic book movie where I can be sure my money's not going to Frank Miller.
Mixed feelings here. Visually a lot of it looks pretty faithful to the book, but I'm not so sure about the tone of certain scenes. Rorschach's voice was kind of cheesy, you're going to hear a lot of comparisons between film-Nite Owl and film-Batman, and was that the Comedian punching a hole in a wall, FFS?
Who am I kidding. I'll watch it. :p But I am not sure I'm going to like it...
