The other major nitpick Watchmen fans (though I should note, they seem mostly really, really happy with what they have seen over the last several months) is who/what you see right here: Ozymandias, as played by British actor Matthew Goode, who will be costarring in the new movie version of Brideshead Revisited next year. First, Goode is perceived as being too young, and secondly, the Ozymandias costume just seems very "Schumachy", as in the Joel Schumacher-directed Batman movies. Specifically: nipples.

In the background, that is Richard Nixon, still enjoying the office of president more than 10 years after he resigned in disgrace in our reality. You'll see a big part of how he was able to keep his job later in this trailer. If you didn't get that the actor is supposed to be Nixon, his name appears in the second top TV from the left.

The Smashing Pumpkins lyric here (slightly muddled with the previous shot) is "And now the kingdom comes", which is both a Biblical reference, and also (I think) a sly suggestion of what epic DC superhero graphic novel should get this sort of big movie love next.

Here's our friend, Dr. Osterman, again. He's still having some minor problems. We'll see (a lot) more of him later.

We see here Dr. Osterman trying to put his body back together. The graphic novel is a bit more... graphic, but they might have just been trying to keep the various internal organs out of the trailer to avoid grossing people out.

This is another shot of Nite Owl's airship, from the same fire rescue scene that our earlier introduction to Silk Spectre was from. More notable, however, is the way the fire is used to cut into our next shot. The Smashing Pumpkins lyric kicks back in with "The world is lost..."

Meet Rorschach. He's crazy. Really, there's no other way to introduce him. The lyric continues from the previous shot with "...and blown", which is sort of a reference (I think) to the fiery gas about to come from his hairspray can.
