Lets speculate about the plot.
Doc Manhatten is drawn back to earth by his infinite love for whatshername and they have a moody teenage son that sparkles in the sunlight. He longs for a girl in his class but he cant dare kiss her because of his dark secret. In the meantime Rorschach's atoms infects everyone and turns into thousands of Rorschach clones and Night owl is forced to fight him to allow the guardian of reality to reset everything and save humanity from the war with the robots that Ozy invented.
You know, I was trying to think of a sequel that could do any justice to the themes of the Watchmen and not be a total cash-in. The best I can come up with is Rorsharch's journal causing all of Ozzy's work to collapse in on itself leading to some kind of superhero witchhunt. But really, it's just be resetting the stage to back where Watchmen 1 started. |

Impossible. Doctor Manhattan ejaculates uranium. |

I really need to watch that play one of these days. Along with waiting for Godot. edit: Actually, as far as I know that is no pre/sequell per se, but rather the same story from a different perspective. Which I find interesting. Maybe just not with this particular movie. |

Yeah, I know its not a strict sequel, but still an independent follow up/fanfiction. ;) I just thought it was funny he brought up Hamlet as the example when there is in fact a highly rated follow up to the story, heh. And who knows, maybe the Watchmen sequel will actually just be a telling of the Watchmen story from the view of the bad guys or something.  Haha, thats awesome. Thanks for making me aware of that. |

I thought it was more likely to be a prequel, possibly following the exploits of the Golden Age heroes and all that intrigue suggested in the comic.

Nobody makes a big budget movie without franchise potential. The source material is just a springboard. Having said that, there's no way they can make the right sequel without a new graphic novel done entirely for the comic audience and being left as a fringe cultural icon for 20 years  |

Watchmen (the movie) wasn't a big hit by any means, and any potential follow-up would likely do even worse. |
