You know, I don’t think in all my life, since reading Watchmen multiple times, I made the Dr. Manhattan - Superman connection. In hindsight it is a little silly lol. I think, I always just liked the visceral look of the squid, and didn’t look much further past that. Thanks for opening my mind!
Isn’t “The superman is real, and he’s American” a direct quote from the novel? Or at least one of those “additional blurbs” written from the perspective of the first Nightwing, unsure if those were “bonus content” or if there are versions of the novel with just the comics.
I always remember that as Wally correcting a talk show host saying, “I never said the superman is real and he’s american. I said G-d is real, and he’s american.” So, I guess I never associated it with Superman and more or less as, the super man.
