The digital release of Watchmen Chapter I, the first part of the animated film based on Alan Moore's comic books, has taken place online. The adaptation received an adult R rating for violent scenes.
The events of Watchmen unfold in an alternate world where superheroes have been outlawed. In 1985, the murder of one of the crime fighters triggers a chain of events that leads the heroes to a grim conspiracy.
The adaptation was worked on by director Brandon Vietti (Batman: Under the Red Hood) and J. Michael Straczynski (Changeling). The new Watchmen has no rating yet, but the IGN website gave it 8 points.
