How will DC write the rest of the Watchmen cast if they end up bringing them into the mainstream continuity? Will they be pressured to make them less controversial to avoid upsetting normies?

They won't be part of the main universe. You has to be retarded to think this.

>You has to be retarded to think this.

I will ignore the has.

But Johns is retarded.

They'll take Rorschach's disgust of women and his spergy friendship with Dan and use that as leverage to out him as gay so they can win the SJW/Marvel crowd.

Whatever DC does with them you can be assured that it will be stupid.

>implying normies read Watchmen

>Manhattan is already confirmed to be an antagonist
>the Comedian's button is somehow in the batcave
>Johns teased that DC is going to take their time with establishing the Watchmen angle
>implying they would just stop with Manhattan and not bring in the fan favorites (i.e. literally everyone else in the cast except Laurie)

How can't you not trust the guy that thinks life started on earth and that the roman empire was a thing 5000 years ago?

The guy is brilliant!

What?
Watchmen is the comic that Normies have read.

At best just multiverse crossover, the cast won't become part of the main universe.

Comedian will stay dead because he's a rapist and that would be too problematic for mainstream audiences.

Dan and Rorschach would have a Blue Beetle/Booster kind of friendship. Expect them to run into Ted and the Question at some point for easy jokes.

Ozymandias would be reduced to a Lex tier villain who would still get his ass handed to him by Batman.

Laurie would probably be the only one who would benefit from being rewritten because her personality and purpose in the original was dull as dirt, so they could do literally anything with her and it would be better.

>there are DCucks who are still in denial that Rorschach isn't already in the DCU as the other Question whose identity is still a mystery

maybe when the movie was coming out.

most people probably read a spider-man or a batman comic then go off to play Madden or watch a Harry Potter movie or whatever.

i thought there was only one question now and it was confirmed to be vic.

wouldn't mind seeing Keith Giffen have a field day with the Watchmen

There's Vic, who was the one in Suicide Squad afaik, and there's the one from Trinity of Sin who has amnesia and we don't know who he is. I'm pretty sure we see what he looks like without the mask, though, and he looks nothing like Rorschach.

Then there's one on Earth 4 who basically IS Rorschach in just about everything but name. He's even best friends with Blue Beetle.

The question goes off the deep end and becomes Rorschach. One of the bat clan gets in tight with the court of owls, or one of the talons gets liberated or something, Owlman. Comedian just kinda comes in. redo Manhattans accident with a nuclear meltdown type thing like what happened in japan. I could go on, but maybe i'm crazy.

The White Entity appeared at Earth's location. Also on Earth-0 the Roman Empire could certainly be a thing 5000 years ago. Earth-0 is not our Earth.

Aren't characters like Rorschach and the Comedian dead? Are they just going to be brought back to life?

Dr. Manhattan probably teleported Rorschach to the Batcave in the DCU and that was how Batman found the Comedian's pin, because Rorschach was the last one to be carrying it around

Normies don't give a shit about comics, man.

This is closer to the truth than any of us would be comfortable admitting.

> Morrison on writing
> Quitely on art
> result would be Pax Americana 2.0
Boom.

Normie who didn't read the comic spotted. Dan was the last one who had the button and he dropped it into Blake's grave during his funeral.

Since when has death meant anything in comics?

Rorschach went back to Eddie's grave after confronting Moloch, dug it up, took the pin, covered up the grave, and added new flowers.

>How will DC write the rest of the Watchmen cast
STRONG TOGETHER

This
I fully expect it to just be Pax American an alternate earth at the most or a crossover at the least

There is no way any Watchmen character will end up in main DC continuity for more than a few issues It'll be like when Kingdom Come Superman showed up in the JSA

who knows, they're giving a shitload of attention to manhattan MD. johns said that the heroes are going to have to think of a way to defeat him without fighting him, so it wouldn't be hard to see the Crimebusters having something to do with that.

Does Vic still remember reading the Watchmen comic?

>And, well, it’s possible that a good sequel to Watchmen could be created. We know it’s possible, because one was.
>Keith Giffen and J. M. DeMatteis are both people who understand comics storytelling in a way that Didio can only dream of. And they realised, reading Watchmen, what any quarter-literate person would. They realised that no-one *actually* wanted a new story about Rorshach. (The fact that plenty of people now *do* want new stories about Rorshach tells us more about comics fans than we would really like to know). The characters in Watchmen were not, of themselves, interesting — they were Superpowerfulman, Gritty Vigilante, Hero With Gadgets, Sexy Lady and so on.

>DeMatteis and Giffen (and the artists they worked with, notably Kevin Maguire) took the pre-existing characters that those characters had loosely been based on — Captain Atom, Batman, Blue Beetle, Black Canary — and did their own comic with them. One that was very clearly inspired by Watchmen, especially in its use of the nine-panel grid to give the comic a rhythm, but which is its own thing. It has as much of Giffen and DeMatteis’ voices as Watchmen does Moore and Gibbons’. It’s totally different in feel — it’s a sitcom rather than an apocalyptic conspiracy thriller — but it’s worth reading.

>And it’s worth reading precisely because Giffen and DeMatteis did their own thing (within the limits of working on corporate-owned comics characters). It doesn’t call itself “Watchmen II: Bwa-ha-hatchmen”.

>So it can be done.

Watchmen was shown as a comicbook in O'Neil's Question. Comics within comics being an alternate universe was a part of Multiversity.

You do know the new DC universe was made by doctor Manhattan right?

No he didn't, he stole some time from the universe, but he didn't create it.

then how did the Comedian get there?

checkmate, atheist

>There is no way any Watchmen character will end up in main DC continuity for more than a few issues

why? because you say so?

they're already confirmed that it's going to take at least two years to resolve

that's more than a couple of issues, user

presumably this is their Before Watchmen incarnations, since Manhattan just noped right out of the universe forever at the end

How did the badge get into the rock in the batcave even if the Comedian was there?

This whole thing seems poorly thought out, and I hope it's as big of a failure as the Daemonite invasion was

WATCHMEN BABIES WHEN?
