Sorta. Snyder put up a long R-rated trailer for 300 on youtube & inside the amazing mini-epic he snuck a pick of a test for Rorcharch for the upcoming adaptation of The Watchmen I've yet to finish reading the series, but I have to say, this is gonna be CENSORSHIP! hard to get Watchmen right. I haven't seen 300 yet so I can' assess whether or not Snyder's a good choice either. In my opinion, for a basic test Rorcharch looks good. It looks like a high quality fan made costume. However, when this is in production in general he needs to go CG with the mask & all it's changing inkblot thingies etc. But still have it look like a mask someone's wearing. Any thoughts on the topic in general?

Thanks for posting this picture! Karma! The Watchmen is my favorite comic of all time (to beat out a Batman one, now that's impressive ;D ), and I have high hopes for this film. As long as it's true to the comic (it takes place during the Cold War), and doesn't veer to far from the original source material ("Catwoman", anyone? ), then I'll be fine with it.

After much delay due to the writing thing not appearing....
He's setting it in 85, R rated & Dr. Manhatten will appear dispite much debate on how he's going to cover up his lack of clothes.

it wouldn't be that difficult to cover his lack of clothes, a few light tricks and theres always a shadow in that area that makes it just too dark to see anything, or just there could just be a whole bunch of shots waste up?

That could work as well; if the director were to use nude shots, just film him from the rear... That way, the ratings board wouldn't have to make the film NC-17...

Anyone see that thing on the history channel about comics? When they showed pictures of Dr. Manhatten they covered it up with black stripey thingies. Usually black stripey thingies just mean "we're too lazy to find a picture that doesn't need black stipie thingies". However they gave it a wavy pattern that wen all the way around him. I'll try & find a pic of it if I can. It looked almost like a design on a suit he was wearing. (If he wore a blue suit that was more like a symbiote & covered his entire body)

First of all, I have, ironically enough, just found my taped copy of that special! ;D
Secondly, I thought that since Dr. Manhatten is made of pure atomic energy, he could be glowing with blue, shifting patterns and waves like a radioactive invisible man. With him shifting in and out of our "normal" reality, it would also help in visually explaining why he's so cold and distant towards human suffering...
