Goofs: Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): In the original comic, before leaving for Mars Dr. Manhattan went back to his military base, told a soldier he was headed to Mars, and left. In the last panel of this scene, the soldier says “Sergeant, I got a message for you…” In the film, Manhattan just heads to Mars without telling anyone, yet all the characters in the film seem to know that that’s where he is.

“Watchmen” is set in an alternate 1985 America in which costumed superheroes are part of the fabric of everyday society, and the “Doomsday Clock” – which charts the USA’s tension with the Soviet Union – is permanently set at five minutes to midnight. When one of his former colleagues is murdered, the washed up but no less determined masked vigilante Rorschach sets out to uncover a plot to kill and discredit all past and present superheroes. As he reconnects with his former crime-fighting legion – a ragtag group of retired superheroes, only one of whom has true powers – Rorschach glimpses a wide-ranging and disturbing conspiracy with links to their shared past and catastrophic consequences for the future. Their mission is to watch over humanity… but who is watching the Watchmen?
