The first of six "Watchmen" exclusive never-before-seen clip montages has come out. Premiered during "National Treasure" on USA Network, this first montage is dedicated to the blue-skinned superhero, Dr. Manhattan. The less-than-two-minute clip is narrated by Manhattan himself, explaining his life before and after he is trapped in an "Intrinsic Field subtractor".
Recalling the faithful day that turns him into the superpowered man that he is, scientist Jon Osterman shares that it was in July 1959. He was 30-year-old and in love, but everything turned into a mess when he accidentally was locked in an "Intrinsic Field subtractor". He then continues revealing that it was the last time he feels fear before becomes known as Dr. Manhattan and is being compared to God, though he himself believes that he is nothing like Him.
While this Dr. Manhattan clip made its debut on small screen Sunday, March 1, the second clip montage will be aired exclusively on Monday, March 2, during "Heroes" on NBC. The second clip will feature Rorschach.
Starring Jackie Earle Haley, Billy Crudup, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Matthew Goode, Patrick Wilson, Malin Akerman, and others, "Watchmen" centers on vigilante Rorschach as he investigates the murder of a former hero, the Comedian. Coming across a plot to discredit and murder various heroes, he discovers a far wider-ranging conspiracy involving his colleagues' past which could completely change the course of history. The live-action film will hit the U.S. big screen on March 6.
