No joke, there's a Watchmen MMO coming to the iPhone photo

I hope you've braced yourselves, because this week is Watchmen week. With the movie and the game hitting Xbox LIVE Arcade and PlayStation Network this week, you're not going to be able to get away.

Well, now you'll be able to take it on the go. Warner Bros. Digital Distribution has announced today that an iPhone/iPod Touch game, Watchmen: Justice is Coming, is in development. As if that concept on its own weren't enough, get this -- it's an MMO. 

Develpped by Last Legion, the game uses a patented "cloudMMO" tech to put players in a persistent online world fighting crime as a masked adventure in a 1970s New York City. G4 got a nice exclusive first-look at the game, which is schedule to his the iTunes store this March.  

Would you play an MMO on your iPhone? And a better question, would it be this Watchmen MMO?

@AudioTerror: Ditto. I was fine with the XBLA/PSN game, but this is almost gag-inducing.

@Audio Terror: I have a bad feeling about this, the arcade game, and the movie..something in the pit of my stomach eating away all hope. At least graphic novel will always be around for us to reread..

DO NOT WANT!

And who is that character supposed to be in the header pic? Captain Disco? That cape and captain's hat makes him look like he was kicked out of the Village People for being too "over the top".

I'm starting to see why Alan Moore didn't want a movie.

Finally, the game that NO ONE was asking for is coming to the iPhone!

What's next? A Terminator Salvation Card Battle game on the N-Gage?

For every copy that's sold, I'll buy 0.

Seriously, what?? Alan Moore must be banging his head on a wall somewhere.

I was fine with the Arcade game, and I'm hoping the movie will be decent, but c'mon. An iPhone MMO? Really DC? Really?

Somewhere secluded, Alan Moore is wiping the tears from his beard.

Alan Moore is spinning in his grave.

I know he's not dead but that's how bad this is. He went to his grave specifically to spin.

How do you make Watchmen, a world with a very limited number of non-powered superheroes, an MMO?

Scuse me as I watch this flamingly bad MMO idea get crushed under the heel of City of Heroes and DCUO/Champions when they release.
