A slew of new Watchmen (trailer here) character posters have hit the web and they’re a lot like the Spirit character posters from a while ago, except about ten times cooler.  My favorite is Malin Akerman as Silk Spectre. “I am used to going out at 3 am and doing something stupid,” she says.  I’m not sure they should be promoting that kind of lifestyle.  I would suggest adding “Sometimes I find condoms in my shit,” to make it more of a cautionary tale.

Hey, is that a Bat Liger?
