Watchmen: Chapter II releases trailer, sets release date

BBG News

As a seasoned gamer and comic book enthusiast with a soft spot for gritty superhero tales, I can confidently say that if Alan Moore were to watch the new animated “Watchmen” films, he might just find himself pleasantly surprised. The animation style, reminiscent of Telltale games, perfectly captures the raw essence of the graphic novel, making it a visual treat for fans like myself.

Although it’s widely recognized that author Alan Moore typically disapproves of adaptations of his cherished stories, should he ever consider exceptions, I believe he would be particularly captivated by the new animated movie versions of “Watchmen”, as they are inspired by his iconic superhero graphic novel.

As a hardcore gamer and a die-hard fan of Watchmen, I can’t help but share my excitement about Brandon Vietti’s ‘Watchmen: Chapter I’, which dropped in August to an overwhelming wave of critical applause. This animated masterpiece does justice to the initial half of Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons’ iconic graphic novel, arguably even surpassing Zack Snyder’s 2009 live-action adaptation in terms of faithfulness.

Indeed, Chapter I merely delved into the initial portion of our source content. By the movie’s conclusion, Doctor Manhattan chose to depart Earth for Mars due to claims that his presence could cause cancer in people. To complicate matters further, Rorschach had intervened in the enigmatic demise of The Comedian, which led him to be falsely accused and imprisoned.

In the upcoming film, we’ll delve deeper into the identity of the vigilante murderer who’s been eluding our heroes and pushing the Doomsday Clock closer to midnight. Rorschach, being a rule-breaker, finds prison life as much of a torment for those confining him as it is for himself. Meanwhile, Doctor Manhattan continues his extraterrestrial activities on Mars. Here’s the trailer:

Warner Bros has scheduled the release of the upcoming sequel for November 26th, which will be accessible for streaming on platforms such as Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV+, and Fandango. Make sure to save the date! In addition, both films are also set for a physical release. You can acquire the Watchmen Chapters 1 & 2 on 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray starting December 3rd.

If you haven’t watched Chapter 1 yet, I implore you to do so. It’s so, so good.
