Panel 5:
As we have come to learn, when Moore & Gibbons craft a large panel
that encompasses more than one of the 9-grid panels, it is a visual signal of
the importance of that panel.
Veidt’s remark that there is “…no time like the present,” which is made
as he exits the main hall through a door beneath the painting of Alexander
solving the puzzle of the Gordian Knot, symbolizes Veidt’s intent to finally
put his plan into motion.
As a side
note, Moore & Gibbons again play the dialogue against the imagery in an
ironic manner, as Veidt’s comment about there being “…no time like the
present…” is made beneath an image of an ancient event, while on the adjoining
wall multiple clocks show the “present” time in varying time zones.
Also, it is
important to note that it is roughly 11:25, New York time, right now.
