the SUPER: WATCHMEN CHAPTERS 1 & 2 Teaser Trailer

Who watches the Watchmen? Warner Bros. Entertainment has released the first official teaser trailer for their Watchmen CG-animated adaption. Arriving in two parts with Chapters 1 & 2, this is an expansive and faithful take on one of DC’s most legendary storylines.

Director Zack Snyder famously adapted the material in live-action with his well-received 2009 film. This new take is said to explore elements that weren’t present in the version.

Created by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons, Watchmen takes place in an alternate 1985 America where superheroes are part of everyday life. The story begins with the murder of a retired superhero, and his former teammates must investigate. The conspiracy they uncover involves a plot to kill and discredit all superheroes, past and present, and puts humanity in grave danger. As the investigation unfolds, the teammates’ secret traumas and twisted psychologies become entangled, and the line between heroes and villains is called into question.

Chapter 1 is expected to release in August 2024 with Chapter 2 in 2025.
