Just what I need... another Watchmen steelbook.

 

[Researcher]

What's the art on this expected to be like?! I can't wait for the reveal!

 

[Blu-devil]

I would suspect it would be the same as the original (Canadian) perhaps sans Blue banner.
Hope it's hi gloss as well.

i really hope they wont re-use old artworks for these.
give us new artwork please warners. either premium collection style, or something fresh?
maybe something not too busy, with debossed titles.

If this one is a re release of the Canadian artwork... it's just not worth thinking about for me... my favourite steelbook going the way of Zombieland would make me very sad.

I don't know why but re-release artwork makes my originals feel a little less special.

hmm gonna be a lot of unhappy campers

So will these releases be the exact same or inferior releases.

I'm hoping it'll have the same discs and glossy finish.

I can't help myself - ORDERED!

 

[Destron]

I never got the Canadian edition...so I will probably get this one.

 

[GroundZero81]

Hope it's just like the Futureshop editor BAbYyyyyyy

Will have to wait to see the artwork. Already own the special collectors edition.

I don't want it to be a copy of the FS release, but I wouldn't care much if it was. I will pick it up if the artwork is different and special though. Maybe something like Rorschach's 'face' on the front with a little embossing? That would make it special for me

Will this version be the director's cut ?

It'll be a 2 disc release like the first one. If the steelbook has the same glossy finish as the first one I'll get it. No need for me to pay a premium price if it's the exact same steelbook.

Also, does anyone know if The Town had a glossy finish?
I would like to pick up both if Best Buy will carry them.

I think this one will lack inside artwork. If I had to guess I would say that only the Batman films will have inside art as they are being released in the UK too. As for The Town, nope that one had a matte finish.
