My take on the costumes (If anyone really cares.  )
Rorschach and the Comedian look amazing!!!
Alan Moore included a lot of commentary in Watchmen about the comics industry in the 80's. I read that Zack Snyder's trying to adapt some of the commentary to apply to comic book based movies. (Hence some of the changes to the costumes.)
- Nite Owl II: If the commentary adaptation is true Nite Owl would have been better served with a Spiderman or Superman Returns type costume using the feather motif for the silkscreen. Come on he's a 40+ yrs old fat guy trying to relive his glory days. Barring that they should use the foam material from the 80s Batman/Flash suits rather than the latex from Batman Begins.
- Silk Spectre: Too much Emma Peel/the Bride not enough silk like material. Did they even have rubber bodysuits like that in the 80s?
- Ozymandias: I dig the belt but think the breastplate and tunic should have been in the final costume...
Oh and so long as Dr. Manhattan's theme music isn't "Everybody Wang Chung tonight" i'll be happy.
