Presented at Annecy by Warner Bros Animation, the first animations of the project Watchmen Chapters 1 & 2 are finally available online.

Announced in 2017, the project which includes two films will be a new adaptation of Watchmen, a work published in 1987 and written by Alan Moore and drawn by Dave Gibbons b>, with Gibbons himself involved in the project.

...October 1985, New York City detectives investigate the murder of Edward Blake. With the police having no leads, costumed vigilante Rorschach decides to probe further. Rorschach deduces Blake to have been the true identity of The Comedian, a costumed hero employed by the government, after finding his costume and signature smiley-face pin badge. Believing that Blake's murder could be part of a larger plot against costumed adventurers, Rorschach seeks out and warns four of his retired comrades: shy inventor Daniel Dreiberg, formerly the second Nite Owl, the superpowered and emotionally detached Jon Osterman, codenamed Doctor Manhattan, Doctor Manhattan's lover Laurie Juspeczyk, the second Silk Spectre and Adrian Veidt, once known as the hero Ozymandias and now a successful businessman...

The first of the two films will be released later this year and the second in 2025.
