Doomsday Clock: Everything We Know About DC's Watchmen Crossover
2. Doctor Manhattan Won't Battle The Justice League
What do you mean you wanted to see it happen? The battle would last, like... seconds.
Doctor Manhattan has the power to turn Superman into steam, Cyborg into mercury and Batman into snowflakes before the Justice League could land a single blow.
It would be a very short story if they were facing off, but fortunately for everyone involved, Doomsday Clock is a more substantial offering than a simple 'versus' event.
Geoff Johns said...
“You’ll never see an issue where Doctor Manhattan is fighting the Justice League. It’s just not what the story is, it’s not what we want to do.”
As for what the story is about, Johns coyly told readers: "you'll know in the first page of the first issue".
