My book is a comic book. Not a movie, not a novel. A comic book. It's been made in a certain way, and designed to be read a certain way: in an armchair, nice and cozy next to a fire, with a steaming cup of coffee."[24]
That's quite a compliment to David Hayter's abilities, as Alan Moore is really known to not like anything about his works being turned into movies (he's never watched, nor took part in any way in V for Vendetta, or Constantine or anything).
That said, Mr. Moore is right. Watchmen was in a way a commentary on the medium of comic books, so porting it over to film will lose some of that meaning.
