i love that Doctor Manhattan's motives here is basically "...what in _the fuck_ is wrong with this universes timeline". Its all been retconned so many times, it makes actual omnipresent beings confused as all hell

The message of Superman being the reason why superheroes exist is just so beautiful

"You ate my breakfast." "Yes... I did." I bursted out laughing. XD

This was one big experiment for Dr. Manhattan and it ended up creating a whole metaverse based on Superman he is on a whole different level.

Clark Kent names his son 'Jon'. Jon Osterman names his son 'Clark'. The son becomes the father and the father becomes the son.

"Artists use lies to tell the truth. Yes, I created a lie. But because you believed it, you found something true to yourself." ~ Alan Moore

*What We Thought:* "I don't even see how it's gonna be a fight. Dr. Manhattan is going to wipe the floor with Superman. No contest." *What We Got:* "Man, Dr. Manhattan didn't stand a chance. Superman's ideals wiped the floor with Dr. Manhattan's ideals! That was a philosophy bloodbath!"

I love how most the Watchman people don’t even have powers but are too much for the dc universe

Superman's greatest power is hope. Even Dr Manhattan's nihilistic ideals fall short infront of the hope that Superman gives to DC universe so that he brings it into his own universe

Manhantan is as confused as we are with dc timeline

This was good writing. Superman, though being non human, embodies humanities highest ideals. He is hope. And when things are at their darkest; someone, somewhere will pick up pen and inks to once again tell that story of hope that we so desperately need. Throughout the generations we have our own mythology centered around our best hopes for ourselves, personified in the Man of Steel.

Dr Manhattan is THE one. I was impressed by this whole arc and how Manhattan disassembled the lantern ring. He stopped and explains how magic works. Like Marionette and The Mime. It would be cool if they had a run in with the joker. They had almost every hero and villain in this story too…I almost expected V.

Kinda cool to see that Dr.M was the reason for the DCEU altering time lol. I'm assuming Clark's dad telling him that the world isnt ready was a reference to Man of Steel

I love how Doomsday Clock is a Story that interprets how Manhattan was reading the DC universe and making adjustments as if he was a comic book writer/reader re-writing its history…. As he tried to re-write the metaverse, it as a collective unconscious was fighting back & utilized Superman as its biggest weapon to stop manhattan. Not with fists, but with the compassion to understand and help resolve Manhattans existential crisis

so dr. manhattan was from the dark and pessimistic watchmen universe and in order to save his universe, ozy manipulates circumstances where dr manhattan can see superman in all his glory and become inspired. filled with hope, he raises a kid and transfers his being into him with hopes that he will one day become the superman of his universe and change the dark narrative that the watchmen is known for. thats some inspiring writing that finds another way to state the importance of hope.

I want to believe that this could turn into a three part movie. This is amazing.

EXPLANATION: Superman the the ultimate catalyst. So he arrives on Earth like he always does and that affects the present. But to fix the present, you need to go into the past. By moving the Lantern and getting rid of Green Lantern (Alan Scott), the world never had the Justice Society of America in WW2 and never got the early exposure to heroes and super powered being that they desperately needed. This is why the world is freaking out now with the "Superman Theory" and metahumans race. Manhattan also acknowledges alternate continuities and that Flash and his Speed Force plays a great role in the multiverse. Of course, fixing the past and present also fixed the future, which allows for the creation of Saturn Girl and the Legion of Superheroes. All these events fix the situation of Johnny Thunder and Saturn Girl in the present (which both are currently in). Now that Manhattan fixed time, they are currently part of the main DC continuity and have history with Superman, allowing him to help them. Due to the Justice League of Society, people aren't afraid of superheroes and they are inspired by them. This causes the Kents to allows Clark to embrace who he is. Since they allow Clark to be a hero at such a young age, he prevents their car crash (just like the Pre New 52), becomes Superboy, meets the Legion of Superheroes, and etc.

21:43 so we gon act like Batman ain't got Abe Lincoln locked up in his personal supervillain collection?

I don't know if it is the time we are living, but the sense of hope that this run gave just made cry.

The joker bringing batman in a wheelchair everywhere he goes was amazing 😂

“I killed your parents, Superman... out of curiosity” this man funny as shit🤣🤣

Sat through this is one go, no regrets it was a great arc and the narration was 10/10 as always.

Marvel: Secret Empire Secret Invasion Secret Wars Detective Comics: Crisis on Infinite Earth Infinite Crisis Final Crisis Marvel+DC = Secret Crisis

Was I the only one who got really sad when the grandpa said "But I wore my best suit".

What everyone thought: “Dr Manhattan is gonna smack the crap out of Superman!” What we got: “ Superman’s ideals just bodied Dr. Manhattan’s ideals!” This is the closest to an anime fight we’ll ever get.

When I read the series, I got goosebumps the moment the "Secret Crisis" was mentioned. Superman vs. Thor!? That's not the kicker; Plus a green behemoth even stronger than Doomsday!!?? Hulk!! I don't like the end from what Dr. M. says happens to Hulk, but if this holds true, he'll be a hero more so then... I love how you take stories I love & convert them to this format. 👍👌🙌💓

i love this. this is where DC embraced Doom Patrol, Watchmen and acknowledged the whole rebith, new 52 and all! thank you!

im pleasantly surprised that the doom patrol made an appearance

I'm actually in love with this channel

This entire thing was like an episode of That's So Raven. Seeing the future with a single important detail missing.

a good Superman story always restores my faith in humanity

57:37 Bugle? Did we shift over to Earth-712, all of a sudden?

One of the best stories iv ever seen. i hope the DC movies get to this.

"You ate my breakfast" has got to be one of the greatest lines in any story, ever.

It’s been a long time since I’ve been interested in western comics again, I remember when this story was still coming out and I pretty much fell outta interest with the long wait but man this is nuts to finally see it come together like this. Those years of build up led to this, it’s crazy to think about.

I'm really glad he started doing to complete stories series. Hella appreciated

so The Watchmen is from different Universe where US won the Vietnam war and Dr. Manhattan is the most powerful being?

Dude!!! You put so much energy into these things i cant help but love them!!!

my jaw dropped like 5 times throughout all this. It was just, wow!

I think this is the best course correction DC has ever had the best way to understand why some things stay the same even when presented differently and vise versa

I think some people feel cheated by the whole “Superman vs Dr. Manhattan” finale

Thanks soo much it's just as good as a movie but the actual material really appreciate your work

I got a crazy thought "watchmen"is basically "incredibles" but way darker

Everyone always forget that it's not always gonna be a fight of strength. This isn't a fight of fists, it's a fight of ideals.

Really fantastic work guys - I love your full Story vids. Please keep it up!

Keep up the amazing work. Thanks. You make me like DC again.

2:56🤣🤣 bro your commentary is golden man.

Man this was awesome. And to think a random KZfaq short from a different channel got me to to try and search for this story. I clicked the longest one and was not dissatisfied at all. Great job narrator.

Fooking brilliant. The end made me cry.

Dude I could not stop watching! THANK YOU!

Damn. That Joker laugh is on point. Awesome video, awesome channel.

issues take years to come out yeah mostly doomsday clock

For real you have made me back in the loop of comics.

Thanks for the vid. I loved it

YES!!! YOU JUST MADE MY DAY!!!!

Oh dude i loved the narration it was such a change from Dark Knights: Metal. i loved it’s reminiscent complimenting of the original watchmen and its messages and how they carried over to this story of Jon finding hope

So did the ending potentially give away DCs plan for the next 5 years

This channel is so under rated and so is the narrator.... Like this is so much work.... I've been so addicted for a month now... Especially these full stories.... I've not watched Netflix or any movie lately.... And I've missed pewds videos and that's never happened.... Love your content❤️😍🤗💖

Such a good story sub to this guy

Then ending gave me the most positive goosebumps I've ever felt.

Good job bro! Loved it

amazing story. loved it!

You made this the day after I finished the movie

This channels gets me through my work days, i stay in my do not disturb mode.

almost 120 minutes of visible confusion from Dr. Manhattan. THIS is the content I like to see haha

Thanks so much for yal hard work

I was sleeping until I saw the notification I knew this was gonna be good

Best complete story ending ever

THIS IS AWESOME!!!

I'm in love with the artstyle!!

Dear Comicstorian Just got through your Doomsday Clock reading..... Thank You. . Though there was a few ( minor ) points that were confusing ( I thought ) I found it thoroughly Enjoyable especially your characterization of the Joker and Marionette. You have Achieved something special , the Art of Storytelling. ( this is not an easy feat) you should feel Proud , I haven't picked up a comic book in several years , yet , you had me from beginning to end. Yes, the story was well written but you told it Beautifully. Cant wait to Discover your other offerings. Thank You.

The laugh at 45.37 is on point!!👌🏿

I love how the rosarch test bruce is looking at is a shape of a bat

Damn the feels from this comic are made well

I hadn't clicked on my notifications so fast in my life before!

This was fantastic great Job

Ure amazing xx firstly I'd like to thank u and ur team soo very much for doing all that u do. U inspire me. I was just wondering. Have u ever been asked to do any acting or voice work for any comicbook films? Just I think u would be absolutely brilliant. I truly do. X I really like listening and watching to each of ure videos. My favourites if u don't mind me saying, have to be the long ones. Pieces of art. Thank u again for it all. Please keep it up xx

This, in my Opinion, the best Full Story ever.

How dare you slap away Alfreds pancakes!

I'm 25 years old and I fucking love comics. People don't realize the depth of storytelling.

Damn, this is insanely good.

Awesome video comp.💯

Wow, that was great!

Your voice acting is getting better from your early videos

Nice this helps pass time at work

Idk how I didn’t realize reading myself Mime’s gun had no sound lol, that’s so cool, I need that in live action. And Marionette is awesome too

Definitely an asshole move by Batman to put Rorschach in Arhcam

Love this channel.

Love you vids so much

Thank you Comicstorian

one of the BEST! story ever!

Great content

This.. is.. probably top 5.. Greatest comic books ever written!!

I’m so happy to be here thank you 🙏🏽

In the end I'm both confused and feel like we're just seeing The Watchman again in the regular DC universe just not as interesting. Ya'll did a great telling of if it though.

I like the ones that were revealed from the sides. The images here sometimes dont reach the bottom ones before it moves on.

1:42:33 A green behemoth even stronger than Doomsday? So they're predicting a DC/Marvel merger? And in the combined universe, Supes will fight the Hulk? Of course, Hulk can be easily fought the way the Justice League should have fought Doomsday. Have Green Lantern scoop him up inside a giant sphere. Lift him to space and drop him into the Sun. Let him punch and kick the inside of the sphere all he likes. If he somehow breaks the sphere... form a new one.

1:42:33 Superman vs. Hulk confirmed

So glad I subscribed to this Chanel

This storyline is only confusing to those who have never taken psycadelics. The Entire Arc is an acid trip! You start as one searching for everything only to find everything in one. Percect!
