Take a look at how the set from Zack Snyder's Watchmen matches up to the comic.

Treasure Island- We really like the old beat-up sign for the movie version, but the crooked letter might be overdoing it just a little. Even if it's not exactly like it is in the book, it has a very old New York look, which is fine with us.

Gunga Diner- The outside of the Gunga definitely got the Hollywood treatment. All that neon makes it look like a restaurant you'd see in Vegas or on Main Street, USA, in Disney World rather than a grimy New York street. We would still eat there, though, as long as their milk shakes are good.

The Newsstand- From the kid reading the comic to the fat guy wearing the cabby hat, this one seems like a loyal representation. Now we have to wait and see if the actor can capture the newsie's grumpiness.

The Nixon Poster- The devil horns make the movie version seem a little cheesier and less ominous than the one in the book. Also, the swastika and Nixon's name in huge letters take it way over the top. At least they didn't get cute and change it to Dick Cheney.
