Feb 2 2009Dr. Manhattan Makes His Own 'Bodies' Exhibit Wherever He Pleases
Another new shot from Watchmen, this time of Dr. Manhattan exploding a guy. I swear, by the time the film comes out, I'll have seen so many production stills that it will feel like I've already read some kind of "image book" that outlines the entire plot. Then what's the point of the movie?
Clever, right? No one has probably thought of that yet. Anyway, better resolution version at io9.

This is another one of those things that was just mentioned/glimpsed in the book, but is shown full-on in the movie as a brief flashback (i think it's when Manhattan is on Mars). A single panel in the book gets it's own few gory seconds in the movie and we actually get to see more of cool shit like this. It's got to be kind of hard when you have to lengthen a scene to accommodate the dialog since in the book you have to be content to sit and look at the same panel while you read it, before moving onto the next. It has to be a bitch to get the pacing right.
