Zack Snyder's Watchmen was considered something of a box office failure on it's release. But many fans and critics hail the movie as a flawed masterpiece and it's certaiinly very popular here on CBM. But does anyone really want to see more from those characters? The movie's lack of solid BO means that we will most likely be spared a sequel despite persistent rumors to the contrary, but what about a follow up to Alan Moore's cherished comic?
Apparently there are murmurs of having
The Watchmen brought back, either for a sequel or a reinvention, and joining the rest of the rebooted characters in the DCnU. CBR caught up with legendary artist/writer and co creator of the
Watchmen Dave Gibbons to get his thoughts on the matter..
“I think, without wishing to sound like a deposed dictator or a mob boss, that I’d like to take the Fifth and at this point say I reserve my position and say I have no comment to make. [...] It’s not something that I’d personally like to see happen. I sense you’re drawing me a little off the position of not commenting on it, so I think I’ll kind of leave it like that. What I would say is, intrinsic to the whole idea of Watchmen is that they existed in a world that was the way it was because of their existence. And I think to transplant them into another world actually removes a huge part of what is the essence of Watchmen.”
What do you guys think?
