Watchmen Archives

While Damon Lindelof has received much of the upfront attention (and deservedly so) for the success of his "remix" pseudo-sequel to The-Writer-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, David Gibbons, and John Higgins' comic book classic Watchmen, he's never missed an opportunity to give much of the credit to his writers' room: Cord Jefferson, Stacy Osei-Kuffour, Christal Henry, Lila Byock, Carly Wray,[...]

In fact, Tulsa was only trending on social media due to the HBO series Watchmen The city once known as Black Wall Street was reduced to smoldering ashes without so much a finger lifted from the US government much less law enforcement Oliver also mentioned the events that took place in Wilmington, North Carolina where[...]

HBO's Watchmen creator Damon Lindelof, series star Regina King (Angela aka Sister Night), and the entire team behind the "remix" pseudo-sequel to The-Writer-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, David Gibbons, and John Higgins' comic book classic are having a pretty good week The ground-breaking series not only took the title for most nominations, but saw those nods include the series overall[...]

Feels like we got something stuck in our throats…wait…hold on… HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!!!  As we were saying, Lindelof's ground-breaking series not only took the title for most nominations, but saw those nods include the series overall for Outstanding Drama Series, individual acting recognition for Regina King, Jeremy Irons, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Jovan Adepo, Louis Gossett Jr., and[...]

It is sensational, is a remarkable achievement in television and, yes because this is Bleeding Cool, I am describing it as TV's first Watchmen Which for some may see as inappropriate, given that Watchmen is a just superhero comic and I May Destroy You is a drama about rape and its consequences And, as BC[...]

In the unauthorised sequel to Watchmen, Doomsday Clock by Geoff Johns and Gary Frank, Rorschach returned – but not the original, who had been killed in Watchmen #12 by Dr Manhattan Instead, this was Reggie Long, son of Rorschach's prison psychiatrist, who had taken on the role, the mask and the mission. Tom King and Jorge[...]

Yesterday, Bleeding Cool reported on Tom King and JorgeFornés upcoming unauthorised sequel to Watchmen, Rorschach. But what can we see in the images revealed so far? And can we start a campaign from this point to get Tom King to give us his take on Alan Moore and Bill Sienkiewicz's Brought To Light? Anyway… Rorschach 1 We have a cover[...]

Bleeding Cool has been following Tom King and Jorge Fornés plans for a new Watchmen project for some time Now we know what it is Rorschach, a twelve-issue series and another unauthorised sequel to Watchmen from DC Comics Man, I haven't written that phrase for a while Things must be getting back to normal. Rorschach 1 It[...]

You know, I get the feeling that if Alan Moore was to smile kindly on one of the many unauthorised sequels to Watchmen going around, this kind of madness may get more of a Superduperman-style thumbs up than any of the others Is this Frankenstein or is it Get Out? Maybe both? From Death Metal #2[...]

With WarnerMedia set to unveil its virtual pop culture convention DC Fandome next month, I would be lying if I said the dumpster fires of speculation over the possibility of more Watchmen weren't raging in my brain as the days get closer I already "know" how it should all go down: series creator Damon Lindelof[...]

It feels like Damon Lindelof's Watchmen is as much in the pop culture conversations of Summer 2020 as it was when it first debuted in October 2019 Much of that has to do with the way the series eerily reflected our society six months before we would see it play out for ourselves in real life[...]

The final product? Well, we're not here to talk about that. Watchmen (2009) Teaser Trailer Say hello to the first appearance of director Zack Snyder on this list This teaser is so memorable I can tell you exactly where I was when I saw it; seeing The Dark Knight for the first time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUjMO_k9IF8&feature=youtu.beVideo can't be loaded because JavaScript is[...]

Been some time since an update, but now it looks like Eric Kripke and Jeffrey Dean Morgan are "talking" about a role in The Boys season 3.

Tom King likes Watchmen But then, don't we all? Recently DC Comics has been reviving Watchmen with prequels like Before Watchmen, unauthorised sequels like Doomsday Clock and integrating the characters of Watchmen into the DC Universe by having Dr Manhattan blamed for the New 52 revival, bringing Thomas Wayne and Jor-El back from the dead,[...]

Damon Lindelof's Peabody Award-winning series Watchmen has been a focal point of HBO's Juneteenth weekend programming, with an emphasis on honoring those murdered in the 1921 Tulsa Massacre and the destruction of Black Wall Street as well as educating the nation on a tragic part of this nation's history that's been ignored The cable network[...]

In honor of Juneteenth and in memory of those murdered during the 1921 Tulsa Massacre, HBO will be offering all nine episodes of Damon Lindelof's Peabody Award-winning series Watchmen for free Starting Friday, June 19, and running through Sunday, June 21, Lindelof's pseudo-sequel to Alan Moore, David Gibbons, and John Higgins' comic book classic starring Academy[...]

One of the final pages of DC Rebirth by Geoff Johns and Gary Frank, Batman discovering the Watchmen smiley face button that began Watchmen #1, embedded in the Batcave wall How it got there would only be explained years later in Doomsday Clock by the same creative team And it just got a Jim Lee[...]

A little more than a month after series creator Damon Lindelof and star Regina King learned that the Peabody Awards Board of Jurors had selected the series as a nominee, the "remix" pseudo-sequel to Alan Moore and David Gibbons' comic book classic Watchmen now has a new title: Peabody Award-winning HBO series In a citation released[...]

From Watchmen pride and AEW appreciation to The Walking Dead stepping up and our growing NBA fascination, there's a ton of TV stuff for us to dissect this week and that doesn't even cover half of it HBO Max, Batwoman, Drew Brees, Nickelodeon, Glee, and Looney Tunes Cartoons are also in the mix, so let's[...]

We've made no bones about the fact that we have a huge ton of respect for Watchmen series creator Damon Lindelof, starting back during the Lost days As much as we obsess over whether or not he'll be returning to the universe of his pseudo-sequel to Alan Moore, David Gibbons, and John Higgins' comic book classic, we[...]

Currently streaming on HBO Max and set to hit Blu-ray and DVD on June 2, Watchmen offered the fine folks at SYFY Wire an exclusive clip from a behind-the-scenes featurette focusing on two of the universe's "big bads": Adrian Veidt aka Ozymandias (Jeremy Irons) and Lady Trieu (Hong Chau) Executive producer and director Nicole Kassell[...]

When we're not obsessing over whether or not Watchmen creator Damon Lindelof would be returning to the universe of his "remix" pseudo-sequel to Alan Moore, David Gibbons, and John Higgins' comic book classic, we take a moment to appreciate the Lost co-creator's Instagram account It's that perfect mix of expected promotion, entertainingly personal, and socially aware that[...]

Watchmen series creator Damon Lindelof took some time to relax and recharge the batteries, and then WarnerMedia made him a sweet FX/Fargo-like deal for more seasons The deal would have him essentially overseeing the Watchmen universe in a nearly-all-powerful executive producer position but opening up the creative opportunities to new, unique, and diverse voices[...]

While most of us are still riding waves of hope that WarnerMedia and series creator Damon Lindelof announce a deal for more Watchmen via HBO Max through an FX/Fargo-like deal (same universe but not necessarily a direct sequel), let's not forget that the original (first of more than one season?) is still receiving well-deserved honors[...]

Like Damon Lindelof's Watchmen on HBO, Devs grapples with the notion that Time is immutable Everything that is going to happen was already predetermined Free will might not exist Once again, Alan Moore, who explored this idea in the original Watchmen comic back in 1986, was ahead of the curve all along Lindelof and Garland,[...]

Joining their current catalogue are two beauties from the eighties, when everything changed, Frank Miller and Klaus Janson's The Dark Knight Returns and Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' Watchmen. How much money will these original art pages of Dark Knight and Watchmen sell for? So we have Batman: The Dark Knight Falls page 24 by Frank Miller[...]

Watchmen series creator Damon Lindelof's been making the most of the social distancing/self-quarantining time we're finding ourselves in First, there was the "Washmen" video reunited a large chunk of the cast to push everyone into safer hand-washing practices (more on that in a moment) Now, the creator of HBO's pseudo-sequel/"remix" of Dave Gibbons/ Alan Moore's classic comic[...]

Just because it's been a few months since we last visited HBO and Damon Lindelof's pseudo-sequel/"remix" of Dave Gibbons/ He-Who-Doesn't-Want-To-Be-Named's classic comic book series Watchmen doesn't mean the cast has stopped thinking about us. In this time of social distancing and self-quarantining caused by the coronavirus pandemic, Regina King, Tim Blake Nelson, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Jean[...]

As well as how the DC Earth has been rebooted and relaunched, from one Crisis to the next… 'Like those poor Watchmen' – very good, Brian, very good, translated, interpreted, misinterpreted… and fictional? And Superman as the only one who can save the timeline But… which Superman?   Jonathan Kent, destined to be Superman, and trained into that[...]
