Taglines:

Justice is coming to all of us. No matter what we do.

This city is afraid of me. I've seen its true face.

The existence of life is a highly overrated phenomenon.

I am used to going out at 3am and doing something stupid.

We were supposed to make the world a better place.

We're society's only protection.

A world at peace. There had to be sacrifice.

During early development in the early 1990s, mainly focused around the screenplay by Sam Hamm, early casting rumors included Robin Williams as Rorschach, Jamie Lee Curtis as Silk Spectre, Gary Busey as the Comedian, and both Richard Gere and Kevin Costner considered for the role of NiteOwl. The project underwent numerous rewrites under director Terry Gilliam and his collaborator Charles McKeown, but got eventually shelved by Warner Bros.
Darren Aronofsky was going to direct the film but dropped out after scheduling conflicts with The Fountain (2006).
In 2004, Paul Greengrass was attached as a director, a script was written and conceptual work had begun when Paramount suddenly decided to put the movie on hold for the time being. A short time after that Greengrass left the project to work on the movie United 93 (2006) instead. After being put into turnaround, the rights were reacquired by Warners in 2006.
