Watchmen is heading to television—but in a way you might not expect, according to producer and writer Damon Lindelof. In a new letter to fans, the creator channels some of the series’ most beloved moments to explain what’s in store when it eventually makes its way to HBO.

Doomsday Clock is the slowest of slow burns. Its biggest mysteries—like just where Dr. Manhattan is in the DC Universe, or how the hell a mime can mime himself a lethal weapon—still remain barely explored, let alone solved. But it’s finally started to lift the lid on one of its most intriguing additions: the new…
Damon Lindelof and his team are moving right along with their adaptation of the iconic Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons comic Watchmen for HBO. While the network hasn’t announced any cast members yet, it’s already hired a director to helm the pilot.
Today, the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists announced that for the first time since 1953, the Doomsday Clock—its representation of how close the world is to a catastrophic, civilization-ending disaster—would be moved to two minutes to midnight. DC Comics decided that was a grand way to promote its current event…
You might have thought the greatest mystery of DC Comics’ Doomsday Clock had something to do with Doctor Manhattan’s whereabouts or the new Rorschach’s secret identity. It doesn’t. The wildest thing happening in the DC/Watchmen crossover is all about the supervillains Marionette and the Mime.
DC is banking on readers being curious as to just how Batman, Superman, and Watchmen characters like Dr. Manhattan and Rorschach will ultimately collide over the course of Doomsday Clock. But the most fascinating part of the series so far hasn’t actually been any of its heroes—it’s a mime. A criminal mime.

The first issue of Doomsday Clock is here, and with it a chance to explore the world Watchmen left behind—and how it will eventually tie into the wider DC Comics cosmos. While in some ways it’s unsurprising that this world is even grimmer than we left it, there have still been some major changes since we last saw…
DC chief creative officer Geoff Johns and author Lev Grossman sat down this afternoon at New York Comic Con to discuss Doomsday Clock, the upcoming limited series crossover that’ll see Alan Moore’s Watchmen clash with the DC Universe.
Traditionally, comics become available at midnight, be it digitally or in the case of big events, through special launch parties. DC’s upcoming Watchmen-infused event Doomsday Clock will arrive slightly earlier than usual... although for a bit of a grim reason.
Tuesday afternoon, writer and producer Damon Lindelof posted the above image on his Instagram. The caption read “Day One.” And if you know comics, the connection is obvious. Lindelof has begun work on the Watchmen TV series.
Alan Moore’s distaste for DC’s ownership of his and Dave Gibbons’ work on Watchmen is widely known at this point—and considering the fact that neither Moore or Gibbons were contacted for the characters’ use in Rebirth, that distaste is still very real today. This new comic cover is unlikely to help smooth things over…

It’s only been a few weeks since the excellent series finale of Damon Lindelof’s The Leftovers left us all reeling and wondering what he’d be working on next. According to a new report, the showrunner is staying with HBO, where he’s developing a new live action Watchmen series.
Doctor Manhattan’s naked blue body aside, there are few images that scream Watchmen louder than the Comedian’s bloody smiley face button. According to Watchmen artist Dave Gibbons, though, the button was a fluke that almost didn’t happen.
At the start of the year, Geoff Johns teased his return to comics writing with a simple teaser image: The glowering brow of Watchmen’s Dr. Manhattan. Now we know just what he’s up to, and it has huge ramifications for the DC comics universe.
After months of intrigue from fans, the first big clues as to just what the hell is going on with Watchmen’s integration into the DC universe are slowly being revealed in a new storyline stretching across the pages of Batman and The Flash. This week’s entry didn’t offer much in the way of major revelations, but it did…
