On the same day that Before Watchmen: Doctor Manhattan #4 gives a glimpse at what happened After Watchmen, maybe we should remember that others have teased alternative possibilities for Manhattan’s Life After Alan Moore:
It took less than a year before Alan Moore and David Gibbons’ Watchmen was first mentioned in the pages of a story set in the DCU. In 1988′s The Question #17, Denny O’Neil and Denys Cowan had shown Vic Sage reading a copy of the graphic novel and pondering Rorschach’s psychopathic approach to problem solving. Yet the first, and perhaps only, crossover between Moore and Gibbon’s Charlton analogues and the DCU appeared in the little-known and repeatedly delightful Hero Hotline, a 1989 mini-series which featured a team of minor-league super-people working for hire in order to pay their everyday bills.
Spoiler: It’s not even a true cameo, but it may give those in charge at DC some ideas…

Its like you learn my mind! You seem to know so much about this,
such as you wrote the e-book in it or something. I feel
that you just could do with some % to drive the message house a bit, but instead
of that, that is excellent blog. A fantastic read.
I will definitely be back.
