Bleedingcool has posted two new images from what they're calling "one of the Watchmen prequel products currently being developed at DC Comics under the code name 'Panic Room.'" Apparently, Jodie Foster and Kristen Stewart have nothing to do with it! Joe Kubert and son Andy Kubert have teamed up for an image of Nite Owl, with JG Jones illustrating The Comedian. We're still not sure how to feel about all the Watchmen news, but they're nice pieces of art, anyway. Check them out after the jump.

Dear DC:
Please stop doing this. It's a really, really, REALLY bad idea.
Love,
John
I dunno - on one hand Watchmen was this really iconic, "legendary" sort of story. Well writen and drawn. But honestly... I suppose I wouldn't really mind seeing more stories in that "world" they created. More of the backstory of the characters we know so well. Maybe more detail into some of the incidents that lead to some of the stories they mentioned in the original Watchmen series.
Honestly, Moore can f--k himself if he thinks that anything not written by him would be '****' - and even the whole arguement that none of his stories are filmable - they are in the right hands. Honestly Watchmen the movie was pretty damned close to the comics as they really could get., maybe they could have had a more "Nolan" esque sensitbility to it, but... still. It wasn't horrible. No more horrible than any other movie based on a book.
A sequal would suck since well... three of the main characters are dead or no longer 'around' - and while it would be interesting to see Silk Spectre's new costume - I dunno... but a prequel doesn't bother me too much. I'd probably buy it depending if the writing and the art was good.
this is SUPREMELY ******* idiotic.
