    Animated Watchmen Trailer Brings the Comic to Life

    The Minutemen are leaping off the comic page again, and this time, they’re a bit more animated. At today’s Annecy International Animation Film Festival (the same one that saw the debut of footage from The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim), DC Animation released a brief teaser for the animated Watchmen movie.

    Zack Snyder Thinks Batman is Irrelevant if he Doesn’t Kill

    Zack Snyder appeared on The Joe Rogan Experience and talked about, among other things, his DC films. The segment that’s setting off alarm bells in superhero fans is when he talks about Batman and his rule against killing. In Batman v.

    REVIEW: Watchmen – Season 1, Episode 8 “A God Walks into Abar”

    “A God Walks into Abar” fills in plenty of Watchmen’s blanks, particularly the ones last week’s episode created when it revealed that Angela’s husband Cal is actually Doctor Manhattan.
