They had five perfectly good songs to choose from that Alan Moore used in the book. But no, they pick “The End Is the Beginning Is the End” by the Smashing Pumpkins. Didn’t anybody get the memo after Corgan formed Zwan? More important, the song was written about Batman for the movie “Batman and Robin.” Did they think comic-book geeks wouldn’t notice something like that?
‘Watchmen’ trailer isn’t music to our ears (via AdFreak)

Zwan was a great band, and it still disappoints me they aren’t around. I listened to that album a lot my freshman year of college - good rock songs, but it also had so much hope!
Also - the song was perfect for the trailer, who cares what it was written about originally, although it does surprise me they used it. Usually producers/directors like to know any associations the music may have, which leads me to think - they just don’t care! Because it works so well.
