watchmen movie is a big mistake imo,the story is too long/big to fit into film.on the superman sequel i read a rumour in a magazine, doomsday is gonna be the villain.
They made a very good movie out of V For Vendetta, squeezing ten issues into two plus hours. Watchmen is twelve issues - not impossible.
Haven't heard anything about Doomsday for the next Superman. Not sure about him - we had a near-death and recovery at the end of Superman Returns. Why have the same sequence again in the next film?

Alan Moore says a lot of things, and David Lloyd rebuked him for being so petty over V For Vendetta. Many works have this rep of being impossible to translate to the big screen - The Lord Of The Rings, Naked Lunch etc. - but they can be done successfully. Just have the right person in charge.
