Weekend WATCHMEN Roundup: Pictures, Books And BLACK FREIGHTER DVD Info

Lots of Watchmen related things hit the internet this weekend, with just four weeks until the movie (finally!) opens. Here’s the rundown-

Entertainment Weekly premiered this new photo of Rorschach using his grapple gun to gain access to the Comedian’s apartment building. And what a great photo it is. I love the dynamic look of the thing.There are also a few new pictures up at viral site The New Frontiersman’s flickr account, again focusing on the Watchmen world’s version of the Vietnam War. Meanwhile, EmpireOnLine has some new character photos courtesy of the upcoming book Watchmen: Portraits. Meanwhile, Total Film has also gotten a few new photos courtesy of another tie-in book to the film, Watchmen: The Official Film Companion.

Meanwhile, the specs for the DVD release of the animated Tales Of The Black Freighter, a comic within the Watchmen comic that serves as a counterpoint to the main story, have been released. In addition to the animated Black Freighter feature, the disc will also be available in Blu-ray format.

The disc hits stores on March 10.
