The biggest problem I had with Watchmen was that the characters weren’t full of emotion and characterization as they were in the comic. Ozymandias was always portrayed as the nicest guy ever, not sinister as Matthew Goode characterized him. At the end he was smug, whilst in the comic he cheered, and cried over his success, since he truly believed what he did was right. Rorschach was done great, his voice raspy, but still well enough to understand. Reminded me how Alan Moore portrayed him. I did not like, however, how he always talked in that voice. In the comic, his speech bubble would change as he was Rorschach, but as the “The End is Nigh” guy, he talked normally. Also, the skirmishes that became full scenes were rather disappointing. In my eyes, Zack Snyder stayed true to the book itself, but not the heart and soul of the book.
Only twice have I ever bought a T-shirt from a web site such as yours. Make this design a reality, though, and I may be well tempted to dip into my wallet again. Definitely a cool idea.
I forgot it was WALL-E when i first looked at it and now I know I still like it. And black is best (of course). I like the one on the breast patch the best too.
I’ve had some people tell me this is a cease and desist letter waiting to happen. Is it worth the risk? I don’t know. I guess I don’t know what the rules are about this kind of reproduction, but it might be best to err on the side of caution…
I liked Watchmen. Jackie Earle Haley looked almost identical to Walter Kovacs/Rorschach as I remember him in the comic.
As for the shirt, while I do think the black is good, the big logo in the middle of the white shirt looks great. Now if only you could get it to glow, it’d truly feel as if you were a sexy female robot…wait a minute
It’s an old set of lawsuits, but Disney is famous for their fierce legal team, protecting their property. I would fear the risk, honestly, if it’s the same logo or even a clear derivative work (which, well, this post confirms that it is).
Yeah, I’m not going through with this. I knew it was sketchy territory to begin with, but I’ve had a lot of people comment that Disney’s legal team doesn’t mess around. It’s not worth it.
Still, I wish SOMEONE would produce this design on a shirt because I still really want it!
Well, it looks like people have already beaten me to it and you made your decision, Tom… But I agree – much as it’s a cool design, it’s also definitely a C&D waiting to happen, and rightly so – it’s Disney’s IP, you aren’t allowed to make money off it.
Saaad face. Boo Disney and their legal team. If you find that this shirt does actually exist somewhere, I would be ever so grateful if you would let us know?
These are awesome– I have been looking for something like this for a long time. I will definitely get one!

Very cool. I’d get one.
I would definitely go for the white shirt with the centered logo. That makes it the most recognizable.
Disney has sued a daycare for painting Mickey Mouse on their wall without authorization. A DAYCARE. Three of them, actually.
