The first trailer for DC’s two-part animated Watchmen movie has arrived.

Watchmen, a limited comic book series created by writer Alan Moore, artist Dave Gibbons, and colorist John Higgins, first hit shelves in 1986. The comic takes place in an alternate timeline where superheroes changed history i.e. the United States winning the Vietnam War and the Watergate scandal never being exposed as such.

The main characters include Adrian Veidt aka Ozymandias, Daniel Dreiberg aka Nite Owl II, Edward Blake aka The Comedian, Dr. Jon Osterman aka Doctor Manhattan, Laurie Juspeczyk aka Silk Spectre II, and Walter Joseph Kovacs aka Rorschach.
