Analyzing Matthew Goode’s Ozymandias Costume in “Watchmen”
In Zack Snyder’s “Watchmen,” audiences praised the superhero costumes, but Matthew Goode’s portrayal of Ozymandias received mixed reviews, especially for his attire. Departing from the comics, Ozymandias’ costume was noticeably different, resembling Nite Owl’s armored suit instead of the Egyptian cloth.
Goode’s Ozymandias costume stood out for its anatomical design with prominent nipples, evoking comparisons to Batman’s iconic suit. Despite retaining the Egyptian theme, the deviation from the source material sparked discussions among fans and critics about the creative choices in adapting the character’s attire for the film.
