Watchmen 2?

People often ask ‘why hasn’t there ever been second series of Watchmen comics?’ The reason is sequels are poor– if you listened to this weeks podcast you’ll know our team isn’t a fan of sequels. Well apparently, any and all talk of a sequel had been squashed time and again by Paul Levitz, former president of DC comics, even denying the creators of the tie-in videogame to invent any new material at all. This was sacred stuff to him!

Now though, he’s not in charge of the comics at all so he’s not going to be able to do anything, directly, to stop any Watchmen sequel. More importantly though, it seems that Dan DiDio (SVP-Executive Editor of DC) has made it his mission to put forward the idea of not only a sequel but also several prequels… Why? I suppose DiDio said Why Not? And there’s good reason to believe they’ll be coming to screens… as well as pages, too! Sadly for the cast of the first film, they all had sequel clauses in their contracts so no matter how much an embarrassment it might be considered; they’d find it very hard or expensive to get out of taking the job on.
