By David Grossman Like Watchmen, Boys works best if you've already read a lot of superhero comics. The heroes are parodies of Superman, Batman, the Martian Manhunter (Jack from Jupiter, anyone?). A female superhero is told by two male marketing researchers that to make her seem edgier, she must now discuss...

By Paul Young Seriously though, from what I’ve read about the graphic novel, it would appear that White has nailed the look and personality of each of the main characters and I’m looking forward to seeing if the rest of the film translates as well.

By Rick Marshall However, while many predicted a victory by Rorschach, Nite Owl and the rest of "Watchmen" cast, there were some surprises in the final vote — namely among the animated features.
