The animated "Watchmen" movie is confirmed to be a two-parter, and will be CG animated instead of 2D. "Watchmen: Chapter 1" allegedly releases in August 2024, while Chapter 2 has been delayed to 2025.

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.

Can't wait for them to say "it's Watchin' time!" and then watched all over the bad guys.

I'd better get to see a whole lot of glowing blue dick.

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.

Yeah the Live Comic rocks. It's probably one of my favorite pieces of media in general.

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 thought the TV series was really good

This honestly applies to most things lol. Just do something different for once, jfc!

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.
