This Tuesday, Warner Bros. is releasing the “ultimate cut” of “Watchmen,” a 5-disc box set intended to do the graphic novel justice–something that writer Alan Moore would be (but still isn’t) proud of.  The feature included is an hour longer than the theatrical release, and there are plenty of bonuses to be seen.  Go through it all with me, one disc at a time, after the jump.

Warner Bros. just sent out the sellsheet of the upcoming “Watchmen: The Ultimate Cut” and it confirms what we already heard: “The Ultimate Cut” has the “Tales of the Black Freighter” animated short film woven into the Director’s Cut.  This new cut will also have two new commentaries from Director Zach Snyder and Illustrator Dave Gibbons.  According to the sellsheet, the Ultimate Cut runs 3 hours and 35 minutes.

The sellsheet also mentions that there will be over two hours of bonus content including 4 featurettes and the “Watchmen” Video Journals. The set will also include the short feature “Under the Hood” which was previously available on the “Tales of the Black Freighter” disc, all 12 episodes of the “Watchmen” motion comic, and a digital copy of the theatrical feature.  The set will be available as either a 5-Disc Limited Edition DVD set ($43.87 SRP) or a 4-Disc Limited Edition Blu-Ray set ($59.99 SRP).  Hit the jump to get a full look at the box art.  “Watchmen: The Ultimate Cut” will be available to own on November 3^rd.
