First "Watchmen" pics hit

With one year until its release, director Zack Snyder released the first photos of five of the main characters in "Watchmen." Take a sneak peek at Jeffrey Dean Morgan as The Comedian below and then head over to the official movie site to check out Nite Owl, Rohrschach, Ozymandias and Silk Spectre.

We'll have to wait a bit to see what's planned for Doctor Manhattan. I'm not quite sure what to think of these pics. They look pretty cool, but also a bit "Batman & Robin" for my taste.
