With
Game of Thrones winding down on HBO, the cable giant is looking for its next big hit and
Watchmen may very well end up filling the void. Now, after months of teases, the first trailer has been released and it does offer at least some insight into the approach the series will be taking.
Set years after the events of the graphic novel, Ozymanidas is now quite a bit older and it seems as if a huge number of people have embraced the Rorschach persona in a bid to serve vigilante justice to those that betrayed them when Dr. Manhattan murdered millions. It appears it's the police that are coming under fire, though, hence why they keep their faces covered.
Beyond that, it's hard to say what's going on, but we do see what appears to be a number of other costumed heroes and Ozymandias definitely seems to be a free man.
More sinister, however, is the fact that the Doomsday Clock is once again counting down!
Check out the trailer below.
