Jeffrey Dean Morgan Is The Comedian

The Watchmen names bandied around over the last couple of days have all been confirmed by The Hollywood Reporter, with one extra inclusion: Jeffrey Dean Morgan is to play The Comedian.

I don't know much about Morgan at all, but Richard LaGravanese cast him PS - I Love You, so I'm not too perturbed. I'm certainly not shaking my head the way I did about Malin Akerman.

I'm going to bet that this Watchmen is rather badly received. Not that it will be bad, mind - just that it will be badly received.
