I would've preferred the comics versions years ago if Alan Moore hadn't been such a jerk about the whole thing...

The one time a superhero movie can put an out of shape guy in spandex, and they goof it up with crappy bat ripoff armor. :yuk: Rorschach looks great, tho.

So....

They're making action figures from a story that used action figures as a symbol of selling out....?

Weird. And yeah; making the Owl a superhro lookin' guy REALLY UNDERMINES THE POINT OF THE CHARACTER!!!!!

*sigh*

Oh look, KnightOwl.

*SIGH*

Guess I'll get to finishing that sculpt I've been working on. Seems the only way I'll get a proper figure of him.
