Sounds like Dr. Manhattan basically decided that to save his universe it would have to be incorporated into the Superman multiverse and thus created a version of "Superman" for the Watchman universe.
My mind is actually blown
Exactly. 👍🏾
That one statement took them nearly 3 years to play out. Ridiculous.
If Alan Moore wants people to understand Watchmen he needs Superman to explain it to them
And in turn it was Superman who created the Watchmen universe, because it was Action Comics #1 that inspired Hooded Justice to become the first costumed hero in 1938.
Something with a chicken and an egg.
Clark Kent names his son 'Jon'.
Jon Osterman names his son 'Clark'.
The son becomes the father and the father becomes the son.
Bravo.
Or perhaps he's his own grandpa!
Huh. Nice!
V.City my last name is Clark and in basic training another soldier’s last name was Kent. The drill sergeant noticed and had us pair up for the rest of the year lol
Linda Niemkiewicz ..... why did you say that name?
Ozymandias: What have you done to better your world?
Batman: I didn't kill 3 million people.
3 million people versus more than a billion people dying is a win
@@187btokes good luck convincing Batman of the moral compass of Ozymandias' decision.
@@187btokes You couldn’t make that decision.

@187btokes "Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement." - Gandalf
It's a real testament to the writers when I'm more interested in a conversation between Ozymandias and Batman than a fight.
I want to see more of it
When is that?
not to the “WRITERS” but the only “WRITER” that can write that story, Alan Moore.

When you’ve read the whole story but still watch the video for Robs voice and excitement
For real most of these stories I've read already but I like how he tells them and yes how excited he gets lol.
Does this make me gay? Fuckin, god damnit.
AlbeezKneez you mean 2 days after the final issue released? Lmao
@@Matt-ox4wu he had to retrain his thought and focus for the story! Rob is sure a decent guy to listem about this stuff.
@@Matt-ox4wu he's done videos on individual issues before numbnuts! He just wanted to hop on the bandwagon he sucks. You suck
"Jon calls me Clark." No matter how many times I see that last panel, I feel like bursting into tears. Damn!
I imagine being the illustrator for a comic with Dr. Manhattan would be frustrating af because literally every panel he shows up you need to cover his pickle with something. Which is why his front side is actually nonexistent.
Did you even read this comic book? Because if you did, you'd know they didn't cover anything, they just let it all hang out
@@grownman1017 To be fair yeah sometimes they did let it all hang out but most of the time he was turned around or something so they didn't have to show his groin
It's too big to fit on a center fold so of course it's easier to just omit it lmao
on watchmen his bird actually hanging there, and the artist literally draw it, hell even the characters in the comics aware of it
Long story short, Dr. Manhattan did what he did so he could put his power into someone who he knew would be more empathetic towards people. He realized through watching Superman that he could of done so much more with his powers in his universe. The thing haunting Dr. Manhattan most was standing by while watching the comedian gun down a pregnant woman. By watching an observing Superman, Dr. Manhattan realized his flaw. He wasn’t a hero, he doesn’t have that personality and character. Despite having more power and the capability to take action when it needs to be taken Dr. Manhattan is a man of in-action. Mainly because he lacks emotion and just doesn’t care. So yea he put his power into a host with a more human element capable of caring and inspiring hope.
Guess I can stop scrolling lol. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Didnt Manhattan know the woman was going to get gunned down? Doesnt he see time all at once?
@@jflanagan9696 Oh yes he saw it for sure, but as our friend here pointed out is that he doesn't care, like it's an abstract-emotionless entity watching events unfold, they're already "written" for him. He represents a conflicting nature about a being of absolute power and human nature/emotions.
Zahatt so why would giving it to someone else make any difference

Merry Christmas Rob and Rob Corp members!
Marcus Hamne
But Superman can. So he creates one ^_^
@@ImperativeGames please stop.

But superman can.
Dr. Manhattan's final thought was just down right beautiful.
Wow this version of Superman looks so much like Christopher Reeve. So awesome!
Gary Frank always draws him like that.
@@ActionFigureWorld Doomsday clock sucks
Well Christopher Reeve was originally dressed and given makeup to look like Superman so...
@@Metalbloodlord don’t be rude
I wanted you to call him Christopher Reeves so bad...
You did not...
There's going to be a crisis where they need young Clark.
Just came to drop a like for Rob being able to finally wrap up the Doomsday Clock series
So the child of Mime and Marionette is how the world of Watchmen is saved. Dr Manhattan was too disconnected from humanity to inspire them, but Superman could. The watchmen universe just needed a Superman so he recreated that in a way. Nice juxtaposition. Best part of the story
Those panels with Carver and Manhattan in the diner are INCREDIBLE. As an avid movie watcher, I can't help but picture that scene in a movie. Take away the superhero aspect of this comic, that was beautiful. To see a man grow into a star, battle hard times and crumble all within a single moment.....shockingly beautiful.
Thanks Rob, I love it when you take all the series videos and make one big one. Makes it easier for re-watching lol.
The Artist of this Comic Book Story line Gary Frank . You Can Tell He's a Big Fan of Christopher Reeve.
@Flying Cupcake FACT!!!
Some ppl may not understand or feel the gravity this story told by Geoff and Gary has on the DCU right now. Some may feel the relevance of the series died due to delays or that it sits in a very awkward position compared to where the other comics are atm. But that doesn’t matter because the story isn’t meant to be a tie-in or build-up to or explain something bigger that will happen to the DCU in the future. It EXPLAINS the DCU, why it is how it is, and why it will continue to be how it is. This story gave the DCU life, it gave it actual shape, form and meaning. In fact, one could easily say Doomsday Clock gave the DCU a long-awaited and much needed...
...Rebirth.
Jay Garrett saying, Sorry we're late son, got me in the feels like no other!
So Alan Scott is the most important character in DC.
I mean Geoff Johns is GL fan.
@@lifecapricious Geoff Johns sounds like GL name
JP Provins Superman is.
@@vicmcmahon Superman is the center of the DCU, Alan Scott is the most important character, because he Kickstarts everything
vanerek Alan Scott is very important. Not the most important. How could you NOT be the most important character when literally the multiverse bends to support your existence lol. Supes is the most important person, Alan Scott is an important factor.
Great story. And a great set up for future stories and events. It also shows Superman in his most purest form, inspiring good in people; Ozymandius, dude might be off the rocker with his thinking, but he is a genius, along with being a master planner.
I miss the good ol' "your momma wears combat boots" days
Say it with me, now: "KO-VACS"
That is all.
Mr. Liston K. I thought i was the only one🤣😭
Tekashi?
Yeah there's definitely no 'r' in the name Kovacs......killin' me...
Thank. You.
Uh….I think I get it but…not %100 sure
Lol, Rob pretending he's broke.
You pay his bills?
not broke probably just has a credit card or something
Man events like this always bring a tear to my eye where it brings together all previous stuff/stories or shows/mentions them for a brief moment. Events like these are in a way a celebration of what came before and shows how the times are changing.
I will always remember the manga in 2008 called Mazinger ZERO where ZERO effects the multiverse so to speak and is fully away of the dying Gundam/mecha/Super Robots genre dying breaking the 4th wall in a small way and the hero is helped by silhouette's of almost every mecha from gundams/getter/daitarn 3/past to present/etc help in the final battle. A story celebrating the genre and acknowledging the changing times.
I think that manga had some tie connections to the super robot war series
The most ambitious mech crossover of all time
But ya that ending was a real brain explosion to experience
Tears to your eyes? Or tears to your eye?
P
Ok
Ok
Quite possibly my favorite comic ending of all comic endings. Sad yet filled with so much hope. Real tears man.
batman: *a dog chasing it’s tail.*
joker: *a dog chasing cars*
big brain? i think yes
oh, I didn't notice the first tme around that new Joker has a tail !
reminds me of a quote “The Batman is like a dog that will chase his tail until its caught, but Joker chases cars, he will never catch one, but hey, what the hell”
@@quoo4493 From the Dark Knight, "Im like a dog chasing cars, I wouldnt know what to do with one if I caugth it, I just do things." or something very similar. I watches that movie way to much.
The first 10 mins of this didn’t age well with Russia invading Poland… they were so close to predicting the future
Actually it pointed out at Ukraine too.
I have been waiting for this longer than Rob's channel has been up 😭😭😭
We need a version of this where there's a clock timer in the corner to the end of the doomsday clock, with each issue being a different "hour".
Been waiting on the full story. Thank you Rob. I’m up witch a Sickle Cell Pain Crisis and can’t sleep. This will help me so much. You’re the best!
Wow. Feel better and be well. It's amazing how much outlets like this can help. A superpower all its own. Thanks Rob and RobCorps.
Omegasunslight Appreciate that boss. It really does help more than Rob could ever know. I listen to his videos in the hospital all the time.
I hope you feel better soon 🙏🏽
Wow, bless your heart. 🥺🙏🏼💝🩺
Hang in there my friend.
Hope you're doing well
I read all these comics when they came out.
The ending with Dr. Manhattan ending and transferring his essence brought tears to my eyes.
Thank you so much for everything you do, Rob. Being a longtime fan of the channel, ive gotten into characters and runs that i normally wouldnt have.
Still really sad that i didnt grab a Rob Corps ring while i could
I really really enjoyed this. I haven't had the chance to read it and was curious. Boy, this was GREAT!!!! I read House of M, but I am going to jump over to your video, because I like how you are able to explain and fill in comic history that us novel readers may not be familiar with. Thank you for your videos, your new Subscriber and Fan!
I think that dr Manhattan couldn’t see the outcome of the child, just like he couldn’t see the outcome of his encounter with Superman. So he decided that this kid must be worthy of his power since Superman is someone who is worthy too.
My God, this was beautifully done Rob!!!! Thank you for helping out during this quarantine time my brotha! Keep knocking them out of the park!
It’s a FAR better story WITHOUT the knock-down fight expected!
I actually got choked up at the end there with history returning... When a comic can do THAT!
Nailed it! Absolutely AMAZING!
This was crazy, loved every minute of it. Can't wait for future stories on these characters.
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.
*I'll write more if this comment gets a lot of likes :)
KJ Iyere watch the new movie and then explain what happens next kuz I’m lost for words went out ina bang
Thanks for the explanation. I'm glad the Justice Society is apart of the main continuity again.
Crazy
@Flying Cupcake Wouldn't call myself a nerd, but thank you! People like you are why I do this!
Literally just read and finished Doomsday Clock 10 min ago and rushed to this video now. I am so happy and thrilled to have read it all and oddly inspired from a comic series. Thank you to the Rob Core and the workers on Doomsday Clock. Remember everyone, stop and smell the roses.
🤎🤎🤎
Omg. Literally just did the same thing. I found this video and watched about 5 min of it before I started the comics. Saved it in my Watch Later for after I finished reading.. ran back here immediately afterwards. I've read alot of DC, but this one here tied SO MUCH together. I cried ffs!
I've been following you for a long time now. This entire series was your best work. Thank you for this.
Thank you Rob, for this amazing video. Your clarification and analysis make everything better.
Been waiting for this forever. Buckle up ladies and gents
Was it cool collaborating with your older videos like this? I love it! Man, lemme tell ya something!!!
I'm excited to binge this weekend lol good stuff!
This needs to be an animated mini series!
I love how Rob avoids sayin butterfly effect the whole video lol
Ughhhh how much i wish alot of these comic books were made into real movies. I would prefer them to be animated movies because live action movies dont do so well but it would be amazing
1000% agree
It's not impossible for a live action comic-book film to be good, just the people who turn them in to films need to get this "it needs to be more realistic, people won't understand it" mentality out of their heads. The Watchmen live action film is one of the best, if not the best, comic-book to live action adaptation I've seen and they pretty much copied the comic word for word, and the small changes they did make, in my opinion, made it possibly even better than the comic.
@@Gohka I dont think there's something inherently wrong with adaptations, but when you go so far from the source material, what made it originally "good" kinda waters it down for new people and alienates the core audience imo
#RestoreTheSnyderVerse
... and DC really needs them. Our beloved franchise doth suffer
I, personally, enjoy these long, 3 hour, videos you make. Keep it up my guy
Man let me tell you sumthin!!! The highlight of any story on Comics Explained.
the death of supermans parents is easy to explain. theres a new earth superman and a prime earth superman and somewhere during dc rebirth dc decided they were both actually just the same character lol (flashpoint side effect) so they share confusing origin stories
Old school 2+ hour long video. Love it.
OMFG WOW I'M SPEECHLESS RN LOVE IT ROB AMAZING JOB ROB CORPS VOICE 💯💯🔥🔥🔥
Damn man this has to be the longest video I've stuck around to watch in one go. Excellent work my man, keep it up!
The fact that there’s a Jericho reference made my day. Have you seen the season 3 graphic novel?
Dr Manhattan single handly makes the multiverse more interesting. Nice job.
Definitely good writing and a lot to unpack. Thanks for going over this lengthy but amazing comic that I am late on. I searched up DR M and saw your vid.
When Mime pull out the invisible biscuit I kinda laughed at Holy Jesus lol...
OMG just read the entire Doomsday clock, its EPIC.
Loved the journey we all went on during this series, every bit.
We need this as an animated series
Hearing Brothers in Arms in the background..... +10 my friend! Nice touch. 👏🏼👍🏼
I don’t even like Watchmen but I still love this video mostly because Rob is so happy
I’ve been waiting for this one.
Thanks for putting the whole story into a single video.
Love these long videos for my commute thx rob!
Doomsday Clock has its flaws, but it definitely presents a lot of interesting concepts, fantastic character studies, and a lot of fun! I love the Marionette and Mime, they are if Joker and Harley had a healthy relationship. And the 2nd Rorschach being the psychologists son was such an awesome character to dive into, and a perfect fit. Art and colorwork is so freaking good too. This run is underrated! 🔥🔥🔥
This is my first time reading a whole book while watching this video and I have to say leaving a lot of things out while narrating the story has been a great incentive to actually read the comics yourself.
Just wanna say, your videos are great backround noise for when I play video games. Music is boring after a while, and your videos are basically a story that never needs pictures. Love it!
(Mostly Minecraft, and other than Minecraft it is really just single and multiplayer RPGs of many types)
I can’t believe how good this channel has become. Excellent.
I'd love to see a conversation between Dr.Doom and Lex Luthor
crazy, I just had a feeling to come back to this channel, and ofc the latest doomsday finally comes out just days before. What a coincidence.
Good video man . IV been watching this off an on for two days now an couldn't wait to get back to it . Gotta find all 12 ! Love watching your videos .keep up the good work .
Keep doing your thing rob! Much appreciated!
I just read the last issue of Doomsday Clock and then I see this video like 2 minutes later.
Geoff Johns is transitioning more towards the DCEU side of DC Comics and I cannot be more angry. Doomsday clock is perfection
This ain’t it chief
I love your videos rob, you inform me on these interesting topics about super heroes and other comics and stories
I love the background music man keep up the good work man
Loved the whole thing! When I herd the about the TV series they connected it with the comic was cool?! I have to watch the TV series now!!!
i think Dr.Mnahattan did that because he wants to make a "superman" in watchmen universe.
this is kinda sad and coll at the same time.
Long time fan!!! But anyways the video is so good and interesting I’m never bored listening to you man
Thanks for putting this together.
I'm probably not the first one saying this, but maybe Dr. Manhattan is trying to create a Superman for his universe.
He just did!
Yeah you kind of get that vibe where he put his powers into a a young boy to be raised by a loving family.
He sees that Superman will always save the DC universe no matter what universe it is, so he created his own Superman to save his universe.
@@jdjenk04 so uhh there’s idiots in the comments saying Superman won and dr Manhattan won but I think this wasn’t a battle just a message what do you guys think?
@@Frankely2tog yeah lol it wasn’t even a battle? Like they didn’t throw a punch at eachother if I remember correctly lol
Hey Rob, long time lurker of channel, i love the content you put out marvel and DC, do you think you could ever create a playlist for each series in your playlist where the stories play in "chronological order" i know with multiverse possibilities it isn't always possible but it would be cool to follow a continuity throughout each multiverse story line
be the change you want to see in the world !

Love this video, man! And the channel! Also:
I can’t believe you skipped over the “Secret Crisis” part 😂
My man, that literally looks like it’ll be the next DC/Marvel crossover, announced as a throwaway line in DC’s best crossover/reboot story ever written.
I’ve been waiting for this one!!! Lemme put 3 hours aside! 😂
Please God bring back The Rundown! I miss you doing those fun ass stories. You were so good at it!
Thanks Rob for all of your material! I really enjoy listening/watching your videos while i work (don't tell my boss 🤐)
This video is an amazing education in the history of comic books and their publications.
Yes it’s finally here!
28:00 Excellent choice of background music. Brothers in Arms is my favorite Dire Straits song.
Also, you could cut off about twenty minutes from this video if you edited out the recap dialogue from each episode.
Thanks...I was racking my brain trying to place the song. It was in the west wing
@@kumarg3598 it's truly an amazing song, full of so much meaning.
Thanks for this rob!
Damn man thank God this is finished cos I’ve been waiting for the full story of Doomsday Clock for ages. Favourite story of the year
@ 1:06:30 “Superman is the only person to take up residency in a city and make it safer because Superman is so hawt...I mean powerful”
That moment when Dr. Manhattan realized that what his universe needed to survive was hope. And Superman was the answer.
Take a drink when rob says basically. Take two when he says essentially
Hey comics explained love your videos they actually help me study! I was gonna ask longshot you see this comment but around the 30 minute mark what song are you using for the background? Its a really top notch choice for background music i would love to have it ! Keep making great videos man!
