While we don't know the exact details of the creative process, it seems Alan Moore, the comic book author behind Watchmen, hasn't been impressed by any of the choices surrounding his work since he put the pen down.

Following in the footsteps of Marvel and their top-tier cinematic universe, a lot of TV superhero stories start with small characters and build up their popularity from there. There are a couple reasons for this.
