Dr. Manhattan is not the Silver Surfer

I went to see The Dark Knight last night.

It was fantastic. Ledger was fantastic. And they showed the trailer for Watchmen which was awesome.

But after they showed the trailer, these two guys a couple of rows in front of me started arguing over whether Dr. Manhattan was actually the Silver Surfer.

I understand not having read the book or knowing who the characters are but the argument was rather inane. Especially given that Dr. Manhattan is blue and the Silver Surfer is (as noted in his name) silver.

However, their argument was a lot more interesting than the rest of the trailers that were shown...so it's all good.
