In anticipation to the nearing theatrical release of "Watchmen", six exclusive clip montages presenting never-before-seen character profiles for the six costumed heroes will be made available by NBC Networks. They will be aired individually starting on Sunday, March 1, during the programming of shows, such as "Heroes", "Battlestar Galactica" and "Burn Notice" which will be broadcast on three NBC Universal networks, NBC, SCI FI and USA Network.

Introducing the film incarnations of the characters who have moved from the pages of the legendary graphic novel to the big screen, the clips will give out the character profile of Rorschach, Dr. Manhattan, The Comedian, Ozymandias, Nite Owl, and Silk Spectre II. The airing of the montages will last until Thursday, March 5. Thereafter, the clips will be available for viewing on NBC's Watchmen site.

Starring Jackie Earle Haley, Billy Crudup, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Matthew Goode, Patrick Wilson, Malin Akerman, and others, "Watchmen" centers on vigilante Rorschach as he investigates the murder of a former hero, the Comedian. Coming across a plot to discredit and murder various heroes, he discovers a far wider-ranging conspiracy involving his colleagues' past which could completely change the course of history. The live-action film will hit the U.S. big screen on March 6.
