The cast is quite solid, mostly consisting of well known career voice actors like Kari Wahlgren, Yuri Lowenthall, Grey Griffin, Rick Wasserman,and Troy Baker–the last of whom voices Ozymandias. Alongside those folks, we’ve got some stars of the small screen lending their talents to the film as well: Bosch’s Titus Welliver plays Rorschach, Perry Mason’s Matthew Rhys is Nite Owl, and The Mandalorian’s Katee Sackhoff is Silk Spectre.
The film launched on 4K and standard Blu-ray on August 27. Both versions of the film include a voucher for a digital copy of Watchmen Chapter 1. The standard Blu-ray is available for $23, but for just six bucks more, you can get the 4K Blu-ray.
If you want to check out Alan Moore’s original graphic novel, you have numerous options, ranging from a pocket-sized version releasing October 1 to the premium Absolute Watchmen hardcover. You can also check out Before Watchmen Omnibus, a prequel to Moore’s graphic novel, and Watchmen Noir, which tells the story in black and white.
