yah i heard that it stayed true, and the fact that the Director of the film had tried to direct i belive 5 films before and they turned out worse than any Indi film could produce.. and this was his big break thru since it turned out so good

Pat i mean.. almost every movie now its got a sex scene or somones getting naked or somthing -.-; Like the new Friday the 13th... it was a remake of the 2nd one and 90% of the movie was Tits... there was more tits then blood and people getting there arms choped off... if im gonna pay 12dollars to see Jason Vorrhees chop somones head off... THATS WHAT I WANT... if i paying 12 dollars to see Watchmen which looked to be one of the best super hero movies of the year... Thats hat i want to see... not tits and sex and crap -.-; Now if i want to see Tits and sex and crap i'll take my dollar bill and go to a strip joint but why put it in movies? Expecially one that has Superheros... Superheros... rolemodels for little kids...

Movie was great, I really need a blog to talk about this movie in detail as I can talk about this for a whole day without repeating anything.
So I will refrain from too much comment until I set a blog up.
As for you Morbid, believe me, sex and nudity is part of the book. It symbolized plenty of things, how the world has turned dirty and how the American way has become if Water Gate never happened and if masked vigilante's used to roam the world. They changed it from the book but it is a intricate part of the book. I highly suggest to anyone to read it. Remember, this is named as one of the best Novel's by Time magazine and it started the name Graphic Novel so that says a lot.
At least there are no complaints about the blue penis in this thread, that shows maturity (surprisingly).

watched it, all i have to say is overrated. I bet if i read the graghic novel it would make more sense but from just being a movie watcher, the movie was overrated for me. My opinion of course, not trying to change anyones opinion lol.

Just watched the full film on this website http://www.watch-movies-links.net and I thought it was okay (started a bit slow but good at the end).
My only snag with it is why no Giant Squid?

I've heard many diffrent answers on this such as "NightOwl is from the same clan as Batman" to "He's related to Batman".
I have my own theory which is - DC used the same template on both characters.
