The clip was introduced by director Zack Snyder, Malin Akerman (Silk Spectre II), Carla Gugino (Silk Spectre I) and Jeffrey Dean Morgan (the Comedian). First of all, Carla Gugino looks amazing. I've loved her ever since I saw her in the first season of Spin City -- if she'd stayed on the show, I might have even watched more than one episode -- so between this movie and Sin City, the last few years have been a real treat for me. Malin Akerman looks pretty good, too, but she doesn't get a close-up like Carla does. Which is only fair, because there is no Gugino footage in the clip at all; instead, they show us the same (admittedly spectacular) shot of Spectre II descending a staircase. Dammit, Snyder, give us Gugino!

I'm surprised Jackie Earle Haley wasn't in attendance, since there's a ton of new Rorschach shots in the footage: him standing on a rooftop in the rain, him popping into the Comedian's window after a 30-story grappling-hook ride, him busting out of Moloch's window, and finally, an amazing shot of him running up some pipes to get to what looks like a ladder -- is that from when he breaks into Dr. Manhattan's lab to talk to him? Whenever it's from, it's awesome. There's more, too, and I'm surprised they've shown so little of him before now, considering how big a part of the movie he is and how bad-ass he is. Were they finalizing the highly experimental motion-mask technology?

There's a lot more of Ozymandias' Antarctic base in this clip -- we see the outside of it, perched on a cliff, and it looks pretty cool. The interiors look perfect, as we see Rorschach, Nite Owl II and Silk Spectre II wandering the halls and the shot from the press screening of Dr. Manhattan reaching in through the skylight. Aside from the "admire my pecs" shot from the trailer, though, there is very little Ozymandias here. Why is that? Maybe they want to keep him in the background so that people don't ask too many questions about him? Speaking of which...

WARNING: DISCUSSION OF THE ENDING OF A 20-YEAR-OLD BOOK WILL FOLLOW!

One clip in particular has gripped the geeks by the back of the neck -- it's a shot of Dr. Manhattan and Silk Spectre II teleporting into what looks like a destroyed cityscape, with piles of wreckage. While Manhattan teleports a lot of places in the book, none look like this, which leads people to believe that this was a shot supporting Snyder's new ending, in which Dr. Manhattan-based energy systems explode in big cities around the world, including New York. Now, it could support the original ending, in which a psychic alien kills everyone in New York, but in that ending the buildings are undamaged, so that seems unlikely. Regardless of which ending it services, it looks awesome, and Silk Spectre totally looks like she's about to blow chunks. At least the vomiting will be comic-accurate.
