The trailer did not confirm the new ending.. the explosion is in the book as well, about halfway through. It's a dream sequence. And ODV, what do you mean why did they call themselves "Watchmen"? It's from a latin phrase which translates to "Who watches the watchmen?", "Who watches the watchers?", "Who will guard the guards?", "Who shall watch the watchers themselves?" Overall, I think this is a much better trailer. To non-comic fans it gives a clear understanding of the plot, whereas the first trailer was pretty ambiguous. The music is also a nice touch. The first half is ominous, and it kicks in with Muse's "Take a Bow" in the second half. I like it.

"Does anyone else have shitty expectations for this? A march release is never a good sign. Shouldn't this be a tentpole? Also, whenever a trailer doesn't have any dialogue it makes me nervous....." No.. it's a March release, because outside of the comic community, the average movie goer has no clue about Watchmen. And giving it a March release almost assures no real major competition. As for dialogue.. it's the first trailer, for a movie that's still 8 months away. There's time.

Anyone know the song? I know it's "The End is the Beginning is the End" by Smashing Pumpkins, but it's alot slower than the regular version.. wondering if it's a new version for the movie, or if it's on some other SP album?
