May 15, 2017: Geoff Johns Teases "Doomsday Clock"
Geoff Johns has revealed that he will be writing a comic book story that will bring the Watchmen/Rebirth worlds together this November.Titled "Doomsday Clock", the stand-alone miniseries will see Johns collaborate once again with artist Gary Frank, picking up from the "Rebirth Special #1" and the more recent "The Button" four-part arc that concludes in this week's "The Flash #22".
Blastr.com has more details, having had a chat with Geoff Johns about "Doomsday Clock", which he reveals is not a "Watchmen" sequel...
"It is something else. It is Watchmen colliding with the DC Universe. It is the most personal and most epic, utterly mind-bending project I have ever worked on in my career."
"We're not going to do a story like this unless we one-thousand percent believe in it. It is all about the story; it is only about the story. There are no crossovers. No watered down one-shots or mini-series on top of this one. This is a standalone story. There is only Doomsday Clock. We had no interest in doing a crossover with this. We didn't want to see Doctor Manhattan facing off against Superman in Action Comics, with all due respect. That is not what this is about. It is about something different Š It will have an impact on the entire DC Universe. It will affect everything moving forward and everything that has come before. It will touch the thematic and literal essence of DC."
"There will be DC characters throughout this, but this focuses in on only a handful. There is a lot of focus on Superman, and Doctor Manhattan. Doctor Manhattan is a huge focus, and his reasons for being here, and doing what he does, ultimately have to do with Superman. And there are many, many more characters to be involved, but it is a bit early to discuss."
As for the title...
"It takes the iconic elements of both Superman and Watchmen, and the DC Universe. It felt like the perfect title. I like the "DC." It used to be called "The Doomsday Clock," but I took "The" off. Obviously people know who Doomsday is, but he's not a part of the story, but I like the implications of it. People will think the last time they heard Doomsday and Superman, he died, so what is this going to be? What is he going to go through this time? And how will it affect them going forward?"
