Watchmen hit a new level of popularity in recent years thanks to the live action movie adaptation, and last week, it was reported that Warner Bros is considering releasing an R-rated, direct-to-video animated Watchmen movie.
Watchmen has been one of DC Comics’ seminal tales for over three decades.
Exploring an alternate history where costumed vigilantes were eventually outlawed and the world was on the brink of nuclear war in 1985, the series deconstructed the superhero genre in a way that had never been done before and influenced numerous stories that followed in the years after.
