‘Watchmen’ Featurette: The HBO Series Examines How Society Views Heroes
  |  @   |  

There are the superheroes that we enjoy seeing in movie theaters, then there’s the Watchmen.

From Damon Lindelof (Lost, The Leftovers), the series will take Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons‘ iconic comic book series and weave in timely social issues that affect us today.

Check out the new Watchmen featurette here below.
