in an alternate history of another “what if’s” ..
a number of superheroes emerged around 1940 U.S.A.
and the Vietnam War was won by Nixon infiltrating them into,
then they are outlawed in consideration for everyday citizens .
some had retired while some worked for the government or held their own business .
but as the Cold War counts down to an all-out Nuclear War
one of the superheroes told to be “knocking off Marxist republics in South America” is killed
and the alumni re-emerge one by one to find out “if someone is picking off costumed heroes” .
. . .
to the gruesome tune of Heath Ledger’s humanely eratic Joker role in the Dark Knight, in Batman’s darkest night ever,
WatchMen reminds us of an undeniable reality where superheroes come to question
if cowboys were the villains and the indians were the good guys .
in the end you are left wondering if peace must be sustained even at the price of vain, precious lives
but with a condolence that there is an incredibly vast Universe out there
where ideally with the right combination AND play of chance
justice may be achieved and even the yearning dead brought back,
but again at that stage Life, as we know it, may not be a necessity at all ..
all the while, look-alikes of historic figures from JFK to Andy Warhol is impressive .
if you are the sort who reads this kind of BLog
I am sure you will have more questions viewing
