I'm not so sure. I think since it is more character driven that it certainly COULD be done.It may be difficult to capture, it would take a hell of a script, (which is why I asked Kevin, I respect his ability to create characters and dialog) but it could be done I think. It really isn't so much about superhero's, as in their powers, their villans, their battles. That's why I guess I see it less as an action movie and more of a mystery/action hybrid. There isn't too much action in the book, save for the jailbreak, and a few assorted scenes. I think Kevin could pull of a draft that is faithful to Moore's work but something that would translate onto the screen.

: There's no way Watchmen could ever be filmed in a way that would do justice to the comic. Better left un-touched.
