Kinda like the algorithm 8 from Multiversity. So, does a round watch seen in 4d vision look like a moebius strip?
There's the possibility that he's doing it out of some misguided altruism. As if he needs to take something from the DCU and transplant it to Watchmen to make it viable. I mean, the Comedian is alive, Rorschach has a legacy, Ozymandias is now a clear-cut villain; something changed over there.Dr. Manhattan is going to lose or he's going to be converted by Superman. He's either acting out of sheer evil (which is out of character) or he's acting out of sheer, apathetic indifference, conducting an experiment with timelines (which is in character). He's toying with timelines, including the ones we've been in and the ones we haven't, lately (e.g., Flashpoint, COIE, the Silver Age JLA). Something good, something optimistic, will come out of this. But there's going to be pain along the way.
