I hope this is a spoof
(It is).
Our RSS Feed- 1990s SuperheroesIf you picked up a comic book, what would be some of the cues that would tip you off that it was written in the 1990s? If you were doing a parody of 1990s superheroes, what would your approach be? […]

- Ani’s Review Forum“Hi there, I’m Ani, a newbie to posting but a long time reader, and I’d like some opinions. My newest idea is about a teenage girl named Jessie who has been working to defeat the forces of the supernatural since she was ten years old, when the ghost of her mother returned to help […]
- Using the Evil Overlord List to Write More Interesting Villains1. If a competent villain must make one of the huge villain mistakes on the Evil Overlord List, the villain should have a good reason to do so. Here are some examples: For example, generally, it’s a mistake to try capturing a hero rather than just killing him (because the hero will always escape). However, […]

- Green Kid’s Review ForumGreen Kid says: “I’ve started work on a teen superhero novel about a boy who develops super powers after being exposed to a chemical dumped in the local lake by a large corporation conducting research on possible ways to create a superhuman. It’s very early in the process and I’ve barely written anything, but I’d […]
- Creative Ways to Use SupersensesI wouldn’t recommend giving your characters supersenses unless they develop a character and/or serve an important plot purpose. Otherwise, they’re probably wasted space. 1. You can use supersenses to develop an unusual point of view. For example, maybe a nonhuman is supernaturally talented at perceiving something highly relevant to his species and/or cul […]

God, I’ve watched that about a 100 times. Funniest thing ever.
Of course, I say that now, but watch, it’s only a matter of time before Warner Brothers gets some ideas…
O.O what was that?
I love how they gave Dr. Manhattan pants. Lol, censorship.
0.o
I … I have no words for this …
Am I the only one that notices the animation as being somewhat decent (albeit simple)? A good script would fix this mess up, methinks. Though, it almost looks too real to be a spoof… *shudders* lol.
I think the animation is excellent, good enough to get aired. That pink cat is so much better-drawn than The Thundercats or Scooby Doo that it’s startling. The scene where the Owl is dancing to the rave-lights is like a smoother version of Michelangelo’s intro in the original TMNT theme.
Also, it’s hard to imagine that a project like this hasn’t been drawn up at least once. For example, one of Canada’s cartoon stations made a cartoon show based on Cybersix, an Argentinian comic book series with a lot of drugs, prostitution, and Nazis.
I loved the movie, but I’m not enthusiastic about a cartoon unless it captured that same grittiness.
I want to see Nite Owl do a jig, then snaps a guys arms like a toothpick.
Poor Watchmen, it’s just as I expected. Spectacular movie, but failed in the box office. People only want to see actors they already know, the cast is one of the biggest factors in how many viewers you will recieve. Watchmen had a cast of (essentially) nobodies, how unfortunate.
My God, I love this video. There is an excellent quality original version on Newgrounds somewhere, I think.
This is probably the best spoof of Watchmen ever. It’s everything Watchmen isn’t, plain and simple. Alan Moore would rip his beard off.

Yet another parody. I love this guy’s stuff, despite being action figures, they’re really good!
I don’t think The Watchmen’s slightly disappointing returns were caused primarily by the star power of its cast. Over the past five years, DC has had several hit movies with unknown casts. Had you ever heard of Christian Bale or Heath Ledger or any of the cast of 300? Conversely, having Sean Connery didn’t help League of Extraordinary Gentlemen much.
The conventional wisdom is that the movie was too long and too mature. I haven’t seen the movie, but that sounds about right from the second-hand accounts I’ve heard. (Was it really necessary to show Dr. Manhattan’s crotch?)
Heath Ledger – yes, Knights Tale was awesome.
Christian Bale – yes, American psycho was awesome and I loved his apartment.
Knight’s Tale!?! I sort of fell out of that movie as soon as they used Get Ready during the obligatory montage scene.
I think Manhattan’s crotch was okay to show once, for eveyone that wanted the movie to be true to the novel. But I don’t understand why he couldn’t wear his underwear thing throughout the whole movie.
