James Gunn is currently promoting the DC Universe’s Creature Commandos. However, the Superman writer and director received a bit of a curveball when urged to talk about another superhero title in a new interview. When asked if he had any plans for reimagining Watchmen in the Dcu, Gunn pondered the possibility before responding to the podcast’s host, Josh Horowitz. And then the co-ceo and co-chair of DC Studios answered by saying (per Happy Sad Confused):

Watchmen? I don’t know. You know, I really like… I really respect Alan Moore, I will say. You know, I really respect him. But that said, I did love the TV show.

Moore wrote the original Watchmen stories, which were published in 1986 and 1987. Those iconic issues were drawn by Dave Gibbons and colored by John Higgins, but it didn't sound like Gunn was a fan of the 2009 feature film. The big-screen...

Hmm… it seems that Zack Snyder’s Watchmen wasn’t so controversial after all. Although the film was great to every extent, it simply felt too modern for audiences who were just starting to fall in love with superhero movies like Iron Man.

Despite being an underrated film, many directors were involved with the project long before Zack Snyder took the reins. Notable among them was The Bourne Supremacy director Paul Greengrass and his idea of the opening scene of Watchmen was dark dark!

The Gritty Opening Scene of Watchmen Would Have Referenced Superman!

Paul Greengrass’ fame skyrocketed through the roof after he directed the 2004 film The Bourne Supremacy starring Matt Damon in the lead role. Just a year after that, Greengrass was working on the 2009 DC project Watchmen.

Although the partnership was short-lived, Paul Greengrass had already envisioned how the film was going to be.

15 years after its theatrical release, Zack Snyder's "Watchmen" occupies a curious spot in the history of comic book superhero cinema. While bleak blockbusters like "Dune: Part Two" and "Oppenheimer" might be all the rage in 2024, that wasn't the case when Snyder's film arrived in 2009. The success of "Iron Man" a year earlier signaled a shift in audiences' tastes. The brooding, auteur-led offerings of the 2000s (like "Hulk" and "The Dark Knight") would soon after give way to the studio-mandated crowd-pleasing spectacles of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Snyder's relentlessly downbeat and violent interpretation of writer Alan Moore and artist Dave Gibbons' equally grim milestone graphic novel suddenly felt wildly out of tempo with the genre, as did his subsequent vision for the now-kaput DC Extended Universe.

Rorschach's death in Watchmen wasn't meant to reflect his decency or integrity, but rather it was the moment that he seized his opportunity to die with dignity and honor, at least by his own twisted standards. In an interview, Alan Moore emphasizes that Rorschach had a "king-sized death wish" and couldn't survive Watchmen due to his constant psychological pain. Rorschach's character symbolizes a traumatized and uncompromising vigilante seeking peace, not just a moral center or act of courage in the face of Adrian Veidt's plan.

Alan Moore's Watchmen remains one of the most celebrated graphic novels in history, thanks to its study of characters like Rorschach. However, since the seminal comic book series released, Alan Moore has been insistent that his best-known character is woefully misunderstood.

A popular theory regarding the fate of one Watchmen character has been disproved by none other than the Comedian. Before Watchmen: Minutemen #6 revealed that the Golden Age hero, Hooded Justice, isn't who fans may have thought he was.

Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' critically lauded series Watchmen is a story that delves into the lives of a number of heroes and their personal hangups. However, while numerous details are provided about characters like Nite Owl or Rorschach, some heroes lives remain relatively unexplored. And no costumed adventurer in the story is more mysterious than member of the Minutemen, Hooded Justice. In fact, while the rest of the heroes in Watchmen are named, Hooded Justice's identity is never revealed. However, supplemental material to the story has led to one popular theory that the hero was actually Rolf Müller, a circus strongman whose body was discovered off the shore of Boston.
