, the news isn't that surprising considering that the waters for an adaptation were tested in 2017 via an"A-List Community" program that asks subscriber members their thoughts & feelings on potential projects.
At the time, the animated film adaptation was listed as"an upcoming made-for-video movie," implying that work may have already been underway on the project. The description continued by describing the potential film as"a faithful adaptation of the 'Watchmen' graphic novel executed in an animation style that mirrors the source material." But since that initial news break, word on the project has been quiet over the past six years – but that ended today at SDCC 2023.
