Even so, one could easily picture Alan Moore being as particularly prickly as ever about Damon Lindelof’s Watchmen, since the TV series’ creative team expanded their scope and intentionally reconstructed the graphic novel as not to deliver a sterile reiteration of either the source material or Zack Snyder’s mostly faithful 2009 big screen feature.
Though perhaps the key to getting Moore interested is to create only vaguely connected adaptations.
