I don't know, but didn't the Watchmen started with cops that felt they couldn't do anything?
You know that Watchmen are supposed to look crappy?
If this has a decent budget, it should be damn good.
Sarcasm?

To those not following this, the show takes place after the events of the comic/film.
Set photos suggest it relates to the comic somewhat with references to the space squid.
It's Damon Lindelof. There is pretty much zero reason to be optimistic.
Tell that to all the folks that somehow think The Leftovers is some sort of crowning achievement of television.
Hmm, be careful with that : it's not an actual sequel, nor an adaptation -- it's a new story. Whether it takes place before or after the events of the comics should not matter much as it'll pick and choose what it wants from it.

Some aspects of Watchmen I do like especially Dr. Manhattan's character but man Alan Moore's alternative universe is dumb as shit. Nixon President for life, really?
Also the fact there are only like seven vigilantes, all in New York...

Dear people who like The Leftovers; Damon Lindelof still sucks.
I liked the first season quite a bit but the show got progressively more and more up its own ass. Unfortunately.

This is one of the most acclaimed TV seasons of all time..
I'm so sorry about your terrible taste.
Really disappointed that Lindelof is doing this after the stunning work on The Leftovers. I couldn't care less about Watchmen
This is a response from someone who hasnt seen the fantastic leftovers series on hbo.
So Ozymandias, Black Rorschach, Marionette and Mime travel to the DCU?
The Leftovers also had a massive leg up on most of Lindelof's output by having the original novel as a season 1 roadmap and having author Tom Perrotta on board to help the whole way. People really overlook the source material regarding that show.
I love Lost and the Leftovers so I'm not sure how him running things is bad
It seems pretty clear to be
after the events of the original story with shots of Squid Attack shelters posted online.

Because you laid out why people don't care, the book is entirely covered in season 1, the worst season.
apart from the fantastic tv shows he has been involved in?
i think he's probably getting it from that, and also every other giant waving red flag indicating this is gonna be a trash fire since this was announced
this thread is off to a fantastic start
i genuinely wonder if geoff johns went to some of yous houses and beat the shit out of your dog
Fair enough, but the book is magnificent, so I would have hoped at least a few people would have looked into it.
You're thinking of Nite-Owl I. He was inspired by Hooded Justice. Could be an early costume... I guess...
Definitely not the biggest fan of Lindelof personally, but goddamn Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross making the tunes more than makes up for it honestly.
Even though I don't like his previous work, I feel like Lindelof understands the source material better than people with their hands on it previously, from David Hayter to Snyder.
Pretty excited though, an HBO watchmen series has been a dream for decades.

Watchmen should of been like Akira and a one and done story.
Some things dont need continuations, be it prequels, dc crossover crIsis events, and tv shows.
Its not adding much to say that, but I feel like most feel that way. But I could be wrong, I dunno

You guys are confusing the hell out of me but if its not an adaption/retelling of the original story, my interest has actually gone way up.
This has been completely off my radar but if its a new Watchmen story, whether that means a reimagining of the concept or some sort of weird quasi sequel/not sequel, I'm in.
