The All New Watchmen Prequel #1 - exclusive script extract

Panel 1: We are in an office. Dr Manhattan and The Comedian are talking. Dr Manhattan is just wearing pants

The Comedian: Urgh, you’re almost naked

Dr Manhattan: I have always been almost naked now. In the future I will always be naked. In seventy eight minutes I will go and have dinner with Laurie. She will cry.

Panel 2: We are now behind an observation window. Two men in suits are standing there, watching Dr Manhattan and The Comedian

Government Psychologist #1: Why is he only wearing pants anyway?

Government Psychologist #2: As he becomes less and less connected with human society the abstract social mores that we have constructed have less and less relevance to his mind. It is likely in time that he will reject all of our manners out of hand, not from rebellion but because they have no meaning to him anymore.

Goverment Psychologist #1: I see. It all makes sense now.

Doctor Who And The Hitler Adventure

Doctor Who: Wait, aren’t you Hitler?

Hitler: Yes.

They kiss. The camera closes in on Doctor Who’s face. It fades into a dream, where we see Doctor Who talking to Davros.

Doctor Who: Davros?

Davros: Yes?

They kiss. The camera closes in on Davros’s face. It fades into a dream, where we see Davros talking to Hitler.

Davros: Hitler!

Hitler slaps Davros once, hard, across the cheek. Davros wakes up with a start. He is sat in his wheelchair, wearing pajamas. 

CLOSE UP on Davros’s long slender fingers forlornly lingering across his control panel.
