We were talking about the future of the Watchmen characters. Eventually, Moore split from the company, after writing some of the most enduring Batman, Superman, and Green Lantern stories in history.
DC also retains the film rights to V for Vendetta. Of course, Watchmen blew the minds of millions of superhero fans, and DC has never had a reason to release their hold over the property. Once they stopped producing new editions, the rights would revert to Moore. Of course, no one knew that the books would be as successful as they were, and so the contract on Watchmen stated that DC would retain the rights to comic only for as long as they continued publishing it. The background of Moore’s statements all started in the 1980’s, when Watchmen and V for Vendetta appeared and became two of the most important comics to be published in that era, responsible, among a few others, for making a bunch of creators look at superheroes in an entirely different and more grown up way, as well as legitimizing the graphic novel as an art form for a great many people (and yet, not enough).
