Context_4 : Watchmen is an American comic-book limited series published by DC Comics in 1986 and 1987, and collected in 1987.

Context_5 : Saturday Morning Watchmen is a Newgrounds and YouTube viral video published on March 5, 2009, the day before the release of the live-action "Watchmen" film. The video parodies the DC Comics limited series "Watchmen" by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons, claiming to be a clip from a 1980s Saturday morning cartoon based on the series. The video was animated, written, composed and sung by Harry Partridge and voiced by Partridge, Joshua Tomar, and Hans Van Harken. It pokes fun at the tendency of the campy nature of 1980s animation to sanitize superheroes and other violent themes. It features many of the mainstays of 1980s cartoon films, like catchy rock themes, and references to the openings of "Thundercats", "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", "Jem", "The Legend of Zelda", and "Scooby-Doo". On the Newgrounds site, Partridge stated the video "combines two huge passions of mine, one being the comic genius that is Alan Moore and the other being kids' programming from the late '80s, which I would say is my biggest animation inspiration."

Many problems halted the adaptation's development, with four different studios and various directors and screenwriters being attached to the project through twenty years.
