Who will watch watchmen online?

Sure, all suerhero movies are violent. But this one revels in blood - not to mention sex and politics. It took Watchmen 23 Years to get to the screen. Now we're going to find out who can handle it.

Zack Snyder'r approach to the movie was simple: He would remain religiously faithful to the comic. "We treated that think like a freakin' illuminated text," says the director, who embraced the peculiar idiosyncrasies, from the Nixonian alternative America to the deep-dive digressions inot character origin stories.

"We wanted the movie to speak to its time, just as the comic book spoke to tis time," says Levin. "But Zack's approach was 100 percent correct"

The director also believed that an "adult" superhero epic needed to be explicit abut its "adult" content. He wanted to hear the characters' philosophical musings. He wanted to see bluood spurt. And instead of the chaste kisses of most superhero movies romances, he wantend to see some naked getting-it-on.

"I wanted to make sure that everybody who gonna watch watchmen online understood: This is not a kid movie," says snider.
