So the new Batman movie opens tonight (well, technically tomorrow at midnight). And yes it looks great, is getting rave reviews and all. But the real star of the show is a short preview trailer appearing before “The Dark Knight.” Yep, Warner Bros. is finally ponying up a full-fledged Watchmen movie trailer. And honestly, I’m shocked that the first peek at the movie isn’t a few quick shots, lots of overdubbing and a big close-up of a bloody smiley face. That’s completely what I expected for now, followed up in a few months by a more legitimate trailer.
Boy was I wrong. While I’m not sure when the trailer technically is supposed to be out, it did leak early. And there’s no stopping an internet leak once something this big is out. And I really have no words to describe it, because frankly, I’m speechless. And March 6, 2009 cannot come soon enough!

I can’t wait either! If the clips we’ve seen are any indication they just may do some justice to Alan Moore’s work. There are also some great interviews on X-box live about the film that are very impressive. It also looks like there may be a special long bonus when the DVD is eventually released.
