UPDATE: Apparently the animation style is gonna be similar to Batman Ninja and Battle of the Super Sons, so don’t get your hopes up.

/r/watchmen is currently in shambles.

    Ehhhh… On one hand, we get another chance that they might do a great adaptation of Watchmen, but on the other hand every single time they touch the IP it pales in comparison to the original graphic novel. I kind of wish they’d leave it alone.

    I dont know if it can still be found, but DC did The Watchman as a ‘live’ comic, where it was basically just the panels being read by different voice actors for the characters.

    I think that was a great way to watch The Watchman, because it was basically the entire comic.

    It was apparently received well at Annecy. Maybe we’ll finally get a proper adaptation?

    One of the best received od all shows, however, was “Watchmen.” “This is a real leap-forward for us in our DC animation,” said Peter Giraldi, executive vice president, Alternative Programming, Warner Bros. Animation.
