Dc’s watcher series is from the famous Alan Moore. It has been kept in an obscure state since the first release. It does not bring much attention to the DC universe, including movies. But this does not mean It is not worth seeing, and it does not mean that the members inside are not popular, such as Dr. Manhattan

10.The origin of the character.

DC acquired Charlton Comics in the 1980s and absorbed many famous characters such as the questioner, the blue beetle and the night shadow. As time went by and the direction of the comics changed, “The Watchman” was given a new role by Alan Moore. Although many details have been changed, the emergence of Dr. Manhattan is based on the role of the atomic captain

9. Undead Manhattan.

If you want to know what a mortal will suddenly be given to the power of God, Dr. Manhattan is the most authentic portrayal. Because he can control quality and energy, his shape is just an illusion. Since the accident in 1959, his age has not changed, neither sleeping nor food. His thoughts include the past, present and future, and he can predict what is going to happen

8. He is the “originator” of DC New 52.

DC Revealed the important role of Dr. Manhattan in the resurgence of the new universe for the new 52 restarts – although he did not know why he did it, he did interfere with the process of the universe and removed it from the timeline for 10 years. All roles have become younger and history has been rewritten

7. Not born in the US.

Although the film doesn’t mention his origin too much, we know that the doctor’s father is a watchmaker. His family came from faraway Germany and his mother was Jewish. In 1939, in order to escape the Nazi family, he fled to New York, but the doctor’s mother was killed on the way to escape. The doctor is a German refugee of half-Jewish descent

6. The origin of the name.

After the rebirth of Dr. Manhattan became the blue and half-divine weapon of the US government. With his power, the United States easily won the Vietnam War, but the weapon also needs a name. The name of Dr. Manhattan does not come from a major city in the United States, but from the famous American Manhattan Project (the mission code for the US-made atomic bomb during World War II)

5. The most important role of the watcher.

In fact, the members of the watchmen should know the most of them. In fact, it is no wonder that the entire watchman universe was built around him. As the most important role of the watchman, he helped the United States win the Vietnam War, and Nixon kept re-electing the president. Everything was because Manhattan was there

4. Arnold Schwarzenegger.

The Watcher Movie was released in 2009, when the director was still a guide. But DC began to think about it in the 1990s. Because the watchman didn’t have a high popularity or recognition at the time, the producer Joe hoped to use the actors to make up for this deficiency. As the protagonist, Dr. Manhattan, what he thought was the superstar Arnold Schwarzenegger in Terminator 2..

But the movie didn’t finish. In fact, there were a lot of candidates at the time, except Schwarzenegger and Keanu Reeves. The final film was played by Billy Cludepp, who will also play the leading role of Henry Allen in the 2018 Flash Reality movie

3. The film is true.

As mentioned above, Billy Crudup is an actor in the Watcher movie, but the body of Dr. Manhattan in the movie is synthesized by computer, but the sound, facial expressions and behavior are both Billy. The big blue person we saw on the screen was made by Billy wearing a special action-catching garment with 2,500 LED bulbs

And the body model is derived from the shape of the first American fitness model Greg Plit (this person died last year due to a train accident, only 37 years old)

2. Kill Rorschach

The darkest climax plot of the watchman. New York was attacked, and Rorschach eagerly wanted people to know what happened and was stopped by the doctor. At the time of Rousseau’s anger and pain, the doctor did not leave the ash of Rorschach, but never admitted that he was the murderer. According to the author Alan Moore’s self-report: Manhattan does not believe that Rorschach can come back alive, he killed Rorschach in order to prevent him from being tortured (meaning that long-term pain is better than short-term pain). As for the reason why he does not admit that he is the murderer: in order to control the already chaotic situation, the watchers know in advance that the disaster is inevitable, but they cannot tell the world about it

1. He is really too strong.

Dr. Manhattan He is a omnipotent, omniscient God-like existence that can predict his future and looks almost invincible, but he still has weaknesses. It is because of his power that he cannot do anything with his free will. He can be said to be an indifferent person who is indifferent to the world. It is no wonder that because he has endless knowledge of time, space and the future, he seems to be completely meaningless in all kinds of human concerns
