New poster released for Watchmen

We're a few months away from the release of Watchmen on March 6, 2009 (hopefully, although that whole Fox/WB lawsuit got quiet real quick). Regardless, that won't stop the WB hype machine from getting this movie more and more attention. Like the above poster, which is the new one for the film (courtesy of Yahoo Movies). It features Rorschach staring down the city proper. I feel as if the WB marketing is centering this film around his character, which is by far the most anarchistic of the group. But I really hope that they don't expect him to be the only one that sells the movie. I mean, the story and mythos surrounding it will make it successful enough. But I know that some of those Hollywood types just see dollar signs and will cram certain aspects of a film down our throats if they think it will increase ticket sales. Is this happening with Rorschach? No. Not yet at least.
