Dr. Manhattan's Penis

"The superman exists and his penis is blue."

Watchmen is a 12 issue comic book series collected in trade paperback and hardcover editions. Now also a major motion picture. Watchmen has been hailed by critics of both fiction and film. Not for it's message or it's complex story-telling. No. It's all been about Jon Osterman's cock.

A man is disintegrated in a science experiment gone wrong. He somehow pieces himself back together again. His atoms. His blood. His skeleton. His nervous system. His penis. And it's a blue penis.

My biggest complaint with Watchmen is that the penis didn't play a more important role in the story. There's been talk of a prequel or spin-off movie (or movies) coming out of Watchmen. I think the one they should consider is a Dr. Manhattan dick movie. We can follow his shlong on all kinds of wacky multidimensional adventures, and people can get a whole movie of what they really want to see.

Just please. Pay respect to the source material.
