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.

    Neat, I guess?

    The reaction at the show doesn’t impact my expectations either way, since people at shows kind of have a tendency to go nuts over the smallest glimpses.

    I hope it is good. Watchmen leveraged the comic medium so heavily that it seems like any adaption is destined to lose a lot of the original flavor created by the way it was drawn and used the layouts. We will see what style is given to the adaption to bring it to life on its own terms.

    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.
