Who Watches The Watchmen? A Possible New Series Might Just Give You That Job

Alan Moore's comic book masterpiece, "Watchmen" rocked the medium to it's core when it was first released, and remains one of the most renowned comic stories of all time. The book considered what would have happened if costumed vigilantes and superheroes actually existed in the years leading up to the cold war. The series was originally released in 12 issues back in the mid 80s, and has maintained it's status as a must read for comic book and superhero fans everywhere. The Watchmen hit the silver screen in 2009 to mixed reviews, and now the heroes may be returning on a slightly smaller screen.

"Watchmen" May Be Getting It's Own Series

Zack Snyder has reportedly been in talks with HBO about creating a "Watchmen" television series. The 2009 film version of the graphic novel launched Snyder's career with DC, since directing that movie he has gone on to work on 2013's "Man of Steel" and the upcoming "Batman v Superman." While some fans remain wary of Snyder's abilities, you can't argue that he has a passion for the subject matter of all of his projects.

A Show Like This Wouldn't Be Short On "Human Bean Juice"

As of now nothing is official, so there's no word on whether the series would follow the same storyline the movie was based off of. The series could potentially be based off of the "Before Watchmen" prequel miniseries series DC produced in 2012. Another possibility would be an as of yet unexplored sequel to the events of "Watchmen." Moore has been very vocal about having zero interest in working on any adaptations or continuations of the original series, so you could probably safely assume he won't be involved with the project.
