Last week, set photos for Watchmen started doing the rounds revealing that this sequel to the legendary graphic novel will feature a documentary series about Hooded Justice. Since then, comic book fans have been speculating that his story will play out in this show similar to Tales of the Black Freighter as a side story of sorts which runs parallel to the main narrative.
However, this latest round of images points to what looks like a flashback to the Wild West/Civil War era as we see what may be the original Hooded Justice and someone the version we know actually inherited the mantle from when he joined the Minutemen.
Hooded Justice was a closeted gay man who was in a relationship with Captain Metropolis but he hid that by pretending to be in love with Silk Spectre. He even went so far as to brutally attack The Comedian when he learned that his teammate had sexually assaulted her. It seems the American Hero Story: Minutemen documentary could delve into that and more.
