Night Owl is maybe too muscular... I hope they are not dumbing that down for a teen audience! But otherwise, I'd say that the casting is good, in particular Comedian!

Is it me or does Night Owl look like a rip off of Batman?

Actually, both DC and Marvel accept the Watchmen universe as an alternate reality of both comic universes. Rorschach has appeared (in cameos) in both companies comics in issues dealing with "elseworlds".

All of the characters were modeled after "real" heroes from the golden age of comics, and given a thick coat of realism. It's entirely possible that Night owl was a batman influenced character,

BUT

Considering the age of the Watchmen comics and the number of rewrites ol Batty has had and I would find it safer to say the current day batman is likely more influenced by the watchmen than they are him.

Puck speaks the truth. In fact, there is a legend that says Moore  originally conceived Watchmen as the future of some DC heroes, but the company finally denied it. It was too..."obscure". However, the history was so good that they told Moore to write it, but using original character. Luckily, he accepted.

But about that photos...I don't like them. They are too...superheroic for Watchmen. Perhaps Ozzymandias has to be that way...but Night Owl and Silk Spectre? Drelberg is a fat guy, for god's sake, not another Christian Bale playing Batman!

And I really hope Doc Manhattan is a CGI.

Ozymandias (well, in a 2008 way...), Rorschach and especially Comedian are spot on. For Silk Spectre, it's difficult to really say, she looks alright, they didn't take the princess of the moment like all movies nowadays. As long as they portray right that she hates wearing that misogynist costume, it should be alright! And well, I think that if she would have wear the same costume as she had in the books, that might have been way too much...

And for Nite Owl, that's again a big down.

For Dr. Manhattan, Keanu Reeves wanted to do that part, but he asked for too much... He'll be computer generated, yes.

No idea for how they will dress him, but Moloch is definitely the best choice for the casting so far.

Agreed, Rorschach and Comedian are nailed. Curiously enough, I think it would be apropiate to get "the princess of the moment" for Silk Spectre.

Last thing I've read about Doc Man. is that Billy Cudrup will be Osterman and the Doc itself will be a CGI. Sound good.

And Moloch...you are right, the best choice so far, without doubt. Great.
