Constant readers may recall that waaaaaay back in 2024, a two-part animated Watchmen movie event was teased, with the first part due that year and part two set for 2025. Well, that never happened. But it looks like it actually might be coming. Finally.
Warner Bros. has dropped a ten-minute opening for Watchmen: Chapter 1 and it looks… fine. One thing that has got my attention, though, is the cast, which includes Matthew Rhys as Dan Dreiberg/Nite Owl, Katee Sackhoff as Laurie Juspeczyk/Silk Spectre, Titus Welliver as Rorschach/Walter Kovacs and Troy Baker as Adrian Veidt/Ozymandias.
In an alternate world history shaped by superheroes, once-celebrated “costumed adventurers” have been banned by a society disenchanted with vigilantism. Now, in 1985, the murder of hero-turned-government operative ‘The Comedian’ draws the attention of ‘Rorschach,’ the last of the outlawed vigilantes.
Rorschach’s investigation embroils his retired colleagues ‘Nite Owl,’ ‘Silk Spectre,’ ‘Dr. Manhattan’ and ‘Ozymandias’ in conflict with their pasts, with each other, and in a mystery that threatens their lives and a world on the brink of war.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
