Immense attention to detail.
Effort to recreate the look.
Dave Gibbons (artist) direct input into the film.
Zack Snyder's familiarity with the novel.
Cons;
Visual style copied but subtext lost.
Spatial vs temporal organisation.
Moral ambiguity and political message sacrificed.
Narrative complexity lost.
Not all visual features can translate.
There are many parallels with the graphic novel to film these are visual but the narrative is lost. The palette uses secondary colours which is unusual for a traditional comic (use of browns, purples, oranges.)
A comic within a comic is copied in the film exactly as it is seen in the graphic novel:
Recurring Images:
Smiley Badge
Clocks/watches
Silhouettes
