I was naturally horrified when I first heard there were planned Watchmen prequels, sequels, spin-offs, or some other sort of money-milking scheme to get more revenue out of something that was really only meant to be done once on film, and I suppose even that’s debateable. Not to say that another Watchmen film couldn’t be a good movie– it could– it just seems pointless. But nevermind arguing about it now, because, at least according to DC division head at Warner Bros, Diane Nelson, that’s all rumor and there’s no plan to do it at all.

This all came from a recent article on comicbookmovie.com, where Nelson also said the news about Nolan rebooting Superman is just a rumor (check out our Geeks Not Nerds on that from last week). According to the article, there’s probably more truth to that than there is to Watchmen, and I tend to agree. That sounded more like there just isn’t anofficial announcement yet bu it really is happening, as opposed to Watchmen, which was never happening at all.

On the other hand, Nelson could just be playing politics and they’re both actually happening, but they just don’t want us to know yet. *sigh* Remember back when we all thought the internet would make getting real news easier.

What do you think? Was the Watchmen thing all rumor or does Warners just not want to show us their hand yet?
