Like I said before, if ever I feel like replying to this, it'll prolly be a matter of months, but I would like to comment on this:

Not in Watchmen's case. I actually took this into account. I'd agree with you had this been a story about shooting up bad guys and destroying cosmic evils. But no.
The entire foundation of the story was to get moral and enlightening points across about the essence and realities of the heros' lives and then the cause and effect stages of such. There was no real greater bearing of the story. It wasn't about conquering a huge bad guy or saving the universe, it was outlining a sort of morbid enlightenment about the reality and not the face value of heroes.

Nah. Manhattan would still know, and the fact that his view point is where we'd see this from is all that would count in the end.
And you know it prolly would have been one of the first times that plot device was ever used. It wouldn't be repetitous and such. So excuse the presumptuousness when I say you prolly wouldn't be too sore about it if it came out that way.
