Warner Bros. surprised everybody by suddenly dropping an animated trailer for Watchmen Chapters I & II today
We’ll be honest: We’ve never understood the point of doing a “faithful” adaptation of Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons ’ Watchmen . For one thing, it’s a book, at least in part, about comic books, using the conventions of the form to illustrate various ideas about time, perception, and the nature of reality; its core narrative is disarmingly simple, once you pull away all the interesting flourishes and games that Moore and Gibbons are playing with its panels and alternate histories.
But we do not, as we frequently lament, rule the universe, and so we can only dutifully present to you the above: A trailer for Warner Bros.’ upcoming “two-part movie event” animated adaptation of the books, details of which remain weirdly vague, despite the fact that it’s technically been kicking around since like 2017. The trailer itself looks…okay…even though some of the efforts to recreate Gibbons’ linework look kind of weird in 3D.
