Well, hey! My grandchildren and I love Spiderman. We just saw "The Incredibles" on Saturday. That was a wonderful movie! My 2 1/2 year old granddaughter sat on my lap or her mother's simply spellbound as she shoveled popcorn into her mouth. Her 7 1/2 year old brother did the same, as did I, age 55 and her mother, age 30. Bah humbug you say? I don't think so!

sounds like a good idea to set it in the future. There's a lot of good things in the Watchmen but the whole Nixon still being president just seemed so dumb.
Don't know if it will work but it sounds better then a one to one adaption.
I kind of think that after 1989, there's no real point in trying to adapt it. The whole books is sort of tied to the '80's with it's resentment of the Reagan era. Not to mention the whole story drips with a cynical pessimism seems to inform Algore's Earth in the Balance.
A comic book seems like the only place to tell that particular story.

This is the first I've heard of this, that's great! Oh gosh, I wonder who's going to play Rorschach? He and Illyana Rasputin are my favorite comic book characters of all time.
