AceShowbiz - To those who wonder how the superheroes in "Watchmen" will look like, Warner Bros. Pictures have gotten a special treat delivered their ways with the release of a classic-looking photograph exposing the first avengers group formed in the "Watchmen" universe. Coming out on the net first via Ain't It Coll News, the picture shows the 1940's Minutemen.
The official first look into the Zack Snyder's movie reveals Silhouette, Mothman, Dollar Bill, Nite Owl, Captain Metropolis, Silk Spectre, Hooded Justice and The Comedian. These are the first group of superheroes who laid the foundation for the movie because the film's storyline picks up with the newer incarnations of some of those old superheroes, including Silk Spectre portrayed by Carla Gugino, Mothman played by Niall Matter and Dollar Bill depicted by Dan Payne.
