We've seen quite a few photos from the set of HBO's Watchmen at this point, but these latest ones finally provide some info on a character fans of Alan Moore's seminal graphic novel will be very familiar with.

A /Film reader send the site over several images, and they are all very interesting indeed. In addition to revealing the fate of one of the original members of The Minutemen, they confirm that the real circumstances of the "alien invasion" of earth never actually came to light.

Check out the pics below, but be warned, there will be major SPOILERS.

New Red White 'n Blue



This first photo gives us a close-up look at the flag symbol on one of the taxi cabs that were spotted last week, and as you can see, this is a very different interpretation of Old Glory, with the stars and stripes rearranged in a very specific manner.

Of course, there have been many versions of the flag over the years, but what event could have prompted this particular change in the Watchmen universe?

Squid Shelters



There are several different photos of these alien shelter signs dotted around the city, which obviously suggest that the true details of Ozymandias' fake squid ruse never came to light and people still live in fear of another attack.

We'll just have to wait to find out why the information contained in Rorschach's journal never reached the public.

 

R.I.P. Ozymandias



And speaking of The King of Kings, it seems Adrian Veidt will have passed on just as the story gets underway.

Ozymandias dying could have major plot repercussions. In fact, the entire show could well revolve around the details of his fake alien invasion being revealed to the world in the aftermath of his death.

That's just pure speculation on our part, so be sure to let us know what you think all of this means in the comments section.

Of course not, when the New Frontiersman released the article the President just declared it "Fake News".

@aflynn - Nixon is just the worst, isn't he? (Nobody correct me, please.)

Alan Moore is spinning in his grave.

I know he's not dead. He just spends a lot of his spare time in there.

Interesting that the newspaper mentions that the squid “showers” are still happening and the KKK vandalism

Nice find, @RorMachine. It's crazy that they're using the real Tulsa World logo. Crazy, the attention-to-detail.

Could be a hell of a spoiler, but we still know so little about the show.

Veidt was always the most interesting character in the watchmen GN and one of the best villians in any mediam and actually succeeded in his plan. I'm sure he's not dead and lindloft is pulling a Peter Wyland with him.

That’s a pretty contemporary looking taillight. Maybe a 5 year old Prius? So I guess it doesn’t take place in the 80’s?

@santoanderson - I'm going with April 19,2015 since that's what the paper reads. It also reads: "Museum uses social media to honor OKC bombing victims" Not much social media in the 80's. To be fair, that's not a fake copy of the Tulsa World, that's the anniversary of the McVay attack.

@inkniron - 2018. The Veidt article mentions something about 2017, so I presume this will be the year afterward.

They're gonna have to have some actual Watchmen characters show up in order for this show to mean anything. I don't want however many episodes of characters just saying,

"Wow, the events of Watchmen sure did happen, didn't they?"

Don't know how you can do a proper sequel about cops from Tennesse.
