Batman Saves the Watchmen
Watchmen exists as sort of a counter to all traditional comic book heroes and storylines, but what if it wasn’t? What if instead of Nite Owl and Silk Spectre and the others mucking everything up, Batman swooped in and saved the day like he always does? It could look a bit like Axel Medellin‘s comic above.
While I don’t quite understand his newfound time travel abilities, I love the idea of Dr. Manhattan as Superman on “Turquoise Kryptonite.” In the comics and show, I got rather tired of the rainbow spectrum of Kryptonite doing all these different and crazy things to Clark.
The punchline ain’t bad either. Though as we all know, Batman saves everyone, even the Joker. It’s the DC way.
Watchmen was the best comic book movie, precisely *because* it was so different to the tropes we are used to.
I’m pretty sure Silk Spectre wouldn’t be the one asking Batman to save Comedian. Just sayin’.
