Set in an alternate 1985 in which Richard Nixon is still president and superheroes exist but have long lived as outlaws from society, 'Watchmen' (2009) follows ex-superhero and vigilante Rorschach (Jackie Earle Haley) as he investigates the murder of fellow hero The Comedian (Jeffrey Dean Morgan). Reconnecting with his former crime-fighting legion, a ragtag group of retired superheroes, Rorschach soon uncovers a disturbing conspiracy with links to their shared past and catastrophic consequences for the future. Conceived as a companion piece to 'Watchmen', 'Tales of the Black Freighter' (2009) comprises two short GGI-animated adventures based on the comic-within-a-comic pirate saga as told in the original 1980s comic series. The tales feature the voice of Gerard Butler and tell the macabre story of an ill-fated mariner who survives a shipwreck and an attack from the dreaded pirates of the Black Freighter before struggling to find his way home.
