His Superman is a direct bite of Dr. Manhattan. He didn't have some deep epiphany about changing Superman's mythos. He just copied something he recently worked on.
I don't quite see what you are obviously seeing here. Care to extrapolate on this comparison a bit?

All powerful superhero is feared by the public and is yet a bit detached from the public as well. And his very existence plays into world politics.
Both Dr. Manhattan and Superman fit this mythos.
Are you dismissing this as a coincidence?

So you agree then civil war is a bite of bvs considering one can make sweeping vague statements like this that compare the two stories that happen :mjgrin:

If you say so. Well, not really but you can just say you're not interested.
You seem to not understand the difference between story and character.

You stated Supes is a direct bite of Dr. Manhattan.

Not watchmen and Mos explore similar themes.

So again,in what way is superman as a character in Mos a direct bite of Dr. Manhattan .

I'm trying to follow this argument the two of you are having and I'm lost:russ:
Oh. He said superman in Mos is a direct rip off of drm Manhattan.

I asked how sway.

He listed similar themes that the film's explore.

I said that's themes of the films and not how the characters are the same

Well here's the kicker: Dr. Manhattan is an homage to superman and how alan moore saw superman and how he believed he'd be in the real world.
