Finally! The trailer for the 2009 movie adaptation of WATCHMEN. The pairing up of Zack Snyder's direction with graphic novels seem to be an awesome combination so far, so it's difficult to not be excited about this movie. Add to that the fact that ""WATCHMEN" is the only graphic novel to be on TIME's 100 best books EVER, the killer website and the almost elitist marketing treatment (there hasn't really been much bruhaha about this movie so far. It's all very "If yah know about it then you must be special") I can almost forgive them for not including Gerard Butler in the cast as was originally planned.

I can't speak in great lengths about "The Dark Knight" yet because so many people still have yet to watch it. What I can say is that I've seen a lot of movies Heath Ledger made in his short life, and I have said a few times that he was cute and I did think that he delivered well enough performances in the past so much so that I don't feel a need to comment on it, but after watching "Batman", well, all I can say is, now I am truly mourning the loss of such a great talent. The man didn't just act in this movie, he brought an element of danger to the character of the Joker that was so ominous and so... Eerie. Like his presence alone meant that the end was near. Maybe it's the fact that he's deceased in real life and that all played out so suddenly and yet so publicly, I don't know and I'll never know. The last thing I'll say is that after seeing Heath Ledger's final performance in Batman, knowing that we'll never see a follow up to that performance makes me almost want to cry.
