Zack Snyder Confirms Watchmen’s Batman Connection

New DVD release, , , ,
Zack Snyder’s name remains prominently connected to the controversial topic of his recent lengthy redux of Justice League and its preceding DC Comics movies. However, the director took his first key genre step toward establishing that connection in 2009 with Watchmen, a DC comic-adapting movie that, despite its disconnect from the main DC Universe, bore a Batman-referencing scene that has long been the center of speculation. Interestingly enough, Snyder has just confirmed the premise of said speculation. In the process of promoting his recently-premiered Netflix gore-fest, Army of the Dead, Snyder takes viewers to “Snyder School” in an analytical video…

Watchmen Wins 11 Emmy Awards

New DVD release,
If Watchmen really is a one-season wonder, then its performance at the 2020 Emmy Awards was an excellent way to sign off.  HBO’s take on the classic graphic novel from Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons took home a superheroic 11 Emmy Awards on Sunday night, making it the most-awarded show of the year, and the first comic book adaptation to win a major category at the Emmys. The series, developed by Damon Lindelof (Lost, The Leftovers) won the biggest award it was nominated for: Outstanding Limited Series, for which Lindelof and the rest of the writing staff accepted the award…

Watchmen Wins Big At the 2020 TCA Awards

New DVD release,
Who watches the Watchmen? The Television Critics Association apparently (of which, full disclosure: this author is a member).  Eerily prescient HBO miniseries Watchmen has won four 2020 TCA Awards, including Individual Achievement in Drama (for Regina King’s work), Outstanding New Program, Outstanding Achievement in Movie, Miniseries, or Special, and Program of the Year. This marks a clean sweep of the categories that Watchmen was nominated in and, due to the TCA Awards’ relatively short list of 13 categories, amounts to the show winning roughly 31% of all the awards. Not bad! Watchmen’s TCA Awards dominance is reminiscent of another timely…

Watchmen: Lube Man’s Identity Is Finally Confirmed

New DVD release, , ,
On Watchmen, the enigmatic Lube Man was the hero that no one deserved, needed right now, or even asked for…but he was beloved all the same.  As depicted very briefly in Watchmen’s fourth episode, Lube Man patrolled the streets of Tulsa, Oklahoma with two bottles of SPF-666 to keep himself as lubricated as possible and able to squeeze through tight spaces. The show’s supplemental material strongly hinted at Lubey’s real identity. But now his identity has officially been revealed.  In a new video from Rolling Stone in which chief TV critic Alan Sepinwall chats with Watchmen showrunner Damon Lindelof, and…

Injustice 3 Teased Ahead of DC FanDome with Watchmen Art

New DVD release, , , ,
Nikolai Baslajik, better known as the artist BossLogic, has dropped a new piece of art on Twitter that teases an upcoming Injustice 3 announcement at the DC FanDome digital event later this month. You can check out the promo image above. The artist is known for creating promo art for several high-profile games, most recently the key art for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. Baslajik may have been hired to do the same for Injustice 3 (stylized “Injustic3” in the promo), although neither the artist nor WB Games have commented on the project. Adding fuel to the speculation fire is the fact…

Watchmen Sequel Focused on Rorschach Coming From DC

New DVD release, , , ,
Did you think the continued explorations of the Watchmen universe were going to end with Dr. Manhattan and Superman explaining the DC Metaverse in the pages of Doomsday Clock or Angela Abar taking that step in HBO’s Watchmen TV series? Certainly not. And certainly not in a world that is somehow more confused and even more disordered than the one into which the original Watchmen by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons was published in 1986. While the HBO TV series was a true sequel to the Moore and Gibbons masterwork, the comic book Doomsday Clock by Geoff Johns and Gary…
