Watch the Watchmen
In an alternate 1985 America, costumed superheroes are part of the fabric of everyday society, and the Doomsday Clock is permanently set at five minutes to midnight. When one of his former colleagues is murdered, Rorschach sets out to uncover a plot to kill and discredit all past and present superheroes. As he reconnects with his former crime-fighting legion - a ragtag group of retired superheroes, only one of whom has true powers - Rorschach glimpses a wide-ranging and disturbing conspiracy with links to their shared past and catastrophic consequences for the future. Their mission is to watch over humanity...but who is watching the watchmen?
The above extended movie trailer for Watchmen looks absolutely gorgeous. From the same director as 300, this movie has all comic book fans going gaga.
