He can die, but not from any means that Itachi could even fathom. His Amaterasu is "as hot as the sun", but Manhattan literally WALKED on the sun before.
Itachi has literally NOTHING he can do here.

Yes. I can think of fictional characters that can handle Dr. Manhattan, but it is not a long list, and Itachi is not on it.

No question.
Although, how powerful is he, really? A lot of people play him up like he's trans tier, above Green Lanterns or someone like Silver Surfer, when his list of feats is actually pretty sparse..
More then Itachi could handle, either way.

You've been told already. He doesn't need to get out of it because he's already out, and that's assuming it would work OR that Itachi could even process the thought in time.

Actually, no. Nothing he can do would put Manhattan in a loop given that he experiences time through a non-linear perspective, and simultaneously living in the present, future, AND past doesn't help Itachi's case even slightly. Not only would Itachi not know what to do, but the Doctor would know what he's going to do before he did and simply turn him to glass with a twitch of his eyebrow before he had a chance to think about it.
At the end of the series Manhattan isn't even really conflicted, he came out of things with a new outlook towards life.

Well, it's almost impossible to kill him (harder to kill than GLs), he can be in many places at once, erase people with a gesture, it was estimated he could stop, iirc, 70+% of Russia's nuclear arsenal (so, thousands of missiles), can create life, has the non linear time thing...
His power output may very well be smaller than a GL, but he's so versatile and, again, basically immortal, that his flexibility is greater and it's quite hard to score a win.
And one thing I want to mention, his power is still *growing*. As his understanding of physics increases, so do his abilities. He still learns new tricks. Being in multiple places at once was a newly developed technique of his. The 'stop 70+% of Russia's nukes' was, likely, conservative and based on old data. His limits are still unknown.
To be fair with the non linear time thing, it has no baring on a fight since he can't alter what he experiences in the future in the present. He always does what is supposed to happen.
So just not really something worth bringing up in arguments. Since he can't like change battle plans or anything, he has no free will.
