It's NOT a t rip off if it's a passing similarity in a freaking teaser poster. Get uppity about it when they rip off the storyline, or one of the characters or something.
Until then, it's a homage. A homage of something that's popular right now so it gets instantly recognized. That's not "cheap", it's rather effin' common and done all the time.
Watchmen isn't even popular with the general populace, anyway. Not even after the movie. It's a geek phenomenon, the movie was not the mainstream success they were hoping.

what i find interesting about this conversation is that fact that the watchmen characters were rip offs themselves. (before you say that they were an homage consider this, moore went to the owners of the original characters, asked for permission, was denied, and then used them anyways with minor changes.)
No they're not... the characters where just freshly acquired by DC, but then they realised that if they used them in Watchmen they couldn't use them in the regular DCU after (even DC knew Watchmen 2 wouldn't work) so they had him redo it with expy's of the characters.
Neither is Wonder Woman, but they know who she is...
And they're using the image for marketing purposes, even parody would have problems if using something like that to market itself...
So's murder... :shocked: :laugh:
