Who mentioned irony?
What I want to know is what you did with Pariahs 2 through 73. Did they just not work out? Pariahs 2-5 post here! Or at least they did after me n Grimm kept banning him everytime he re-registered!

Ozy actually looks good...He looks like Robin from the Schumacher days! "good" and "looks like Robin from the Schumacher days" are two mutually exclusive concepts. Minus the nipples, the Robin costume was actually pretty good. Much better than green shorts and pixie shoes! The problem is, Ozy wasnt Robin!

Those might be shots of the how the characters look in flashback, however. Someone at AICN pointed out that mask that the Comedian is wearing is his Vietnam-era one, not the one he was wearing in the 80s shortly before getting killed. Do we really need the gimp mask?

But, seriously, I'm just saying that the costume they show the Comedian in wasn't the final one he wore in the book. Furthermore, the director has said he cast younger actors in some roles because it was easier to age them with makeup than make middle aged actors look younger. Basically, he cast for the flashback scenes, not the "present day" scenes.
Based on all that, it's entirely possible that these aren't the "final" costumes the characters wear, but the ones they wear in the flashbacks.

But even if they are, movies will always take a degree of artistic licence.
Maybe all the fanboys were crying that Batman had a symbol on his uniform that he never wore in the comics, or that the X-Men were not in yellow and blue!
Its just a movie, and I dont expect every finite detail to be perfect.
I'll just be happy if it is a decent popcorn flick that stays reasonably close to the source material.
And hey, if they can put some better costumes on the Minute Men, I aint gonna complain either!
Ozy though, I do think should be bigger and more imposing (plus he should be a lot better looking as he is sposed to be some kinda Adonis type character).
To me, the Comedian and Rorscach look spot on.
Niteowl II looks about as good as I would expect (once again, the comic book costume would not translate well to the screen).
The Silk Spectre costume actually looks better.

More specifically the green/red one.
Both costumes were fundamentally good, but the one with the classic colour scheme looked better, and thats what Ozy reminds me of!

I don't disagree with you at all. I was only noting that this might explain why Nite Owl and especially Ozy look so young in the photos: that these were the "flashback" looks.

Rorschach and The Comedian are really the only two that look at all exciting to me at this point. That doesn't mean the movie's gonna suck, just that I might not totally love all the characters.

What the fuck does how they look have to do with if they are exciting or not? Did you ever read the fucking book?

Yes, I read the fucking book, I also got the PG-13 "non-fucking" version as well.
And thus far, all we have are those images to go by; most of 'em are just... meh.

 Ozy actually looks good...just not like Ozy!
He looks like Robin from the Schumacher days! The first impression I get is that it looks very dystopian German expressionist. Very Fritz Lang, very fascist. Which is I suspect just based on the who the character is, the entire point.
