Watchmen is a twelve-issue comic book limited series created by writer Alan Moore, artist Dave Gibbons, and colorist John Higgins. The grouping of heroes and villains contained in the work are not, in fact, named "The Watchmen", though they were at one point referred to as "Crimebusters". Rorschach, Nite Owl and Dr. Manhattan were the team's primary heroes.
It's nice not having to worry about the Watchmen court case any more. Now we can calmly wait for the opening in March. As I've mentioned before, hopefully the movie hasn't lost the momentum that was building up prior to all the talk about the lawsuit. A new site for the movie, The New Frontiersman has some information on the back story. It acts as a newspaper type site with some old document about the Minutemen, the original team of heroes. There is a picture of the hero known as Mothman being taken in to a mental institution and an image of the Doomsday Clock.
