I agree with Dar on this one.
I strongly dislike Rorschach referring to the group as "Watchmen".
I do not think that anywhere in the TP are they EVER referred to as "The Watchmen". If they are ever "officially" called anything, it is:
(1) Minutemen, and even that name is restricted to what the original group called themselves (i.e. in the Hooded Justice / Mothman / Dollar Bill / Stiletto days), or
(2) Crimebusters, which was the failed group that tried to come together before the Keene Act forced them to disband.
As an aside note, the nuclear explosion seen in NY in the trailer really is starting to bug me. I hope that this is a scene indicating what might happen if the US and Russia start a nuclear war, and NOT a scene from the true climax (i.e. no squid). Fans of the TP will know what I mean.
