[Dubbilex]

i eagerly await this

[bacon_flaps]

Wait what?

Who's your namesake?

You're too cryptic, you're obviously a freedom hating spy from Derkaderkastan.

[Fewlio]

The Watchmen.

[A Boojum Snark]

bacon and duck need to think deeper! :p Though I never knew any of this, I have deduced that Niteowl is a character in said comic series, The Watchmen. Thus, this movie will have an actor playing as the character which our friendly neighborhood comm-raging comm takes his name from.

[bacon_flaps]

Not into comics, my bad.

Hey now - just because the two of us haven't ventured into that level of geek-dom, you can't fault us!

We are toooooooooo cool to know that type of nerdy stuff.

[bacon_flaps]

For serious ya'll, we're too cool for school.

I wonder who they`ll get to play niteowl, and wether he`ll keep the paunch?  

[Dark]

eh i knew what hoots meant when i saw the watchmen in the title of that page since i remembered when he told us that was how he got his name :ph34r:

It's an awesome comic, but from what I've heard of the leaked script, they really messed up the movie D:

They removed the 35 minutes line, Niteowl kills Ozymandias with a RAZOR-SHARP OWL BOOMERANG, Silk Specter is called Slingshot and can shoot energy bolts by making the peace sign, a giant death ray that just disintegrates people instead of the other thing in the comic.

Hopefully that script was fake and completely wrong because those changes are ridiculous.

[Niteowl]

i have very very very low hopes for the films. the comic book series (12 in all) was somewhat dark and somewhat depressingly nostalgic. not the best way to sell a comic book movie.

what made niteowl NITEOWL was the fact he WAS this middle aged, paunchy, bookish type fellow who used to be a super hero. in spirit, at least, i identified/identify/sorta identify with him.

[Necrosis]

Funny, I thought it was Bruce Willis in some sort of PVC suit.


How wrong was I eh?
