a guy called "Nite Owl" with no superpowers who wears a black suit with pointy ears and has a nemesis called "The Comedian"....
Anyone see any paralells here?

A lot of the characters have similarities to more famous counterparts and quite a few are generic. The story started during WWII where they were putting teams together (ala The Avengers) and it's their personal stories and interaction that made the graphic novel so compelling. Night Owl (actually the 2nd Night Owl) has been long retired in the present setting of the movie.
The Comedian is actually a good guy, but it is a stretch calling the man himself that as he's deplorable. I believe it was Rorsarch that said he respected him the most because he knew the difference between good and evil, but he just didn't care.
My inner comic book geek has awoken for this. After 2 disappointing Punishers and a joke of a Judge Dredd movie, I finally have hope that one of the few comics I read religiously will me done correctly :D
