Having just seen Batman - The Dark Knight (wow, by the way… wow!), I was thoroughly confused by the trailer for The Watchmen. I’d like to think that I know my fair share of graphic novels and superhero stories, but here is one I’ve never heard of.

Nonetheless, the movie looked interesting. And, in true superhero to movie fashion, it comes complete with video game. This one seems to be going a little above and beyond however. Tying into the debut of the movie in March 2009, Warner Bros. announced that an episodic downloadable game will become available. The game, created by Deadline Games, will serve as a prequel to the movie and will feature Nite Owl and Rorschach as the heroes.

A second game will be released later in the year and will coincide with the release of the movie into DVD.
