I'm not arguing about whether or not you stay faithful, just the problem a film like this has with all the expectation from rabid fans. As far as I'm concerned they can change all they want, because it's not The comic, it's a film; the two are very different artforms.
Like I say they'll have to change alot.
USSR as a superpower would be silly.
I just hope it isn't mutilated like V for Vendetta or Superman Returns were.
But if they have free license then you get the venom that was in spider man III.
Just shit.

Superman Returns started brilliantly. And the plane crashing was awesome just the othe 60 minutes that let it down. Not a patch on Superman I or II
Iron man, Mars Attacks, Batman all show a respectful but innovative film maker can work marvels.
For me the first 3 Superman movies are the definitive version.

Watchmen court case news from the LA Times...
LOS ANGELES — In a surprise ruling, a federal judge in Los Angeles said he intended to grant 20th Century Fox's claim that it owns a copyright interest in the "Watchmen," a movie shot by Warner Brothers and Legendary Pictures and set for release in March.
The decision was disclosed in a five-page written order issued on Wednesday. Gary A. Feess, a judge in the United States District Court for Central California, said he would provide a more detailed order soon.
Fox has been seeking to prevent Warner from releasing the film. The superhero adventure, based on the "Watchmen" graphic novel, is being directed by Zack Snyder (who also directed "300") and has shaped up as one of most eagerly anticipated releases for next year.
A Warner spokesman, Scott Rowe, declined to comment on the ruling and the studio's plans.
At an earlier hearing, the judge said he believed that issues in the case could be settled only at a trial, which was scheduled for late January. On Wednesday, however, Judge Feess said he had reconsidered and concluded that Fox should prevail on crucial issues.
"Fox owns a copyright interest consisting of, at the very least, the right to distribute the 'Watchmen' motion picture," the ruling said.
Fox acquired rights to the "Watchmen" graphic novel in the late 1980s for the producer Lawrence Gordon, but eventually dropped its own plan to make a movie from its story, about the underside of life for superbeings.
Mr. Gordon later pursued the project with Universal Pictures, and then with Paramount Pictures, before shooting it with Warner and Legendary under an arrangement that allows Paramount to distribute the film abroad.
In ruling on Wednesday, Judge Feess advised both Fox and Warner to look toward a settlement or an appeal.
"The parties may wish to turn their efforts from preparing for trial to negotiating a resolution of this dispute or positioning the case for review," he said.

It may make more sense if you're Japanese. 
I prefered Night Watch.
So did my friend, who recommended we see Day Watch.
I've never wanted to leave a cinema so badly in my life.
