With HBO’s Watchmen series coming to us at full force, what better time than now to look back at Zack Snyder’s Watchmen. The seminal 1985 graphic novel, written by Alan Moore and inked by Dave Gibbons, changed comic books forever. It challenged what we thought was possible with visual storytelling and inspired countless, more thoughtful graphic novels in its wake. The Zack Snyder adaptation, released in 2009 was well-known for sticking close to the source material. Of all things, the truest part of the adaptation from book to film is probably the fact that both versions of Watchmen are full of Easter eggs and hidden gems. Join ScreenRant as we go over these 25 things you may have missed in Zack Snyder’s Watchmen.
Whether it’s references to U.S. history or comic book history, Zack Snyder and company had a lot of fun fleshing out the alternate timeline of Watchmen. There’s connections to be found in Watchmen’s use of music, including several of Bob Dylan’s classics. There’s a ton of visual cues associated with the Comedian, Sally Jupiter,Nite Owl and Doctor Manhattan. Plus, there’s the many appearances of Hollis Mason’s book, “Under the Hood.” Maybe you eagle-eyed fans noticed the Big Foot reference in found footage of Rorschach or perhaps you saw Batman’s origin in the opening credits sequence. Did you catch the nods to the Last Supper, the Outer Limits, Rambo, Elvis, Neil Armstrong, or JFK? We’ll go over all these and more in the following video. Who watches the Watchmen? We do.
