Pate-possu made these Watchmen.

Figs galore

Jaypercent has made a number of great figs, all purist (btw, he needs to combine these into a set on Flickr).

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

I'd love to see Sofo's Watchmen busts produced in real ABS.

I'd like to point you all to Burakki's Bricks, a blog devoted to custom minifigures. Several times in the past I've featured Burakki's great custom hero figs, like the ones below. Welcome to blogging, Burakki (okay, a couple of months late as this started earlier this summer). Hopefully we'll see lots of hero customs in the mix.

More Watchmen

Pate-possu followed up the Comedian with more of the Watchmen.

Archie

Pate-possu has his own version of Archie, Nite Owl's ship from the Watchmen.

Archie and Jughead

Um, no, different comic book Archie - this one the Night Owl's ship from the Watchmen series. Be sure to click through all of those pages, as Chris Doyle made a few variations and also detailed the interior.

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

If you haven't read the graphic novel The Watchmen, you certainly should. IMO the movie didn't hold a candle to the original. The plot is centered around a retired team of superheroes like the Justice League of America or the Avengers, but only one of them has super powers. The rest are more like Batman - acting based on superb physical training and technological gadgets. Anyway, a decade or so before the main action, superheroes were outlawed (like in the Incredibles), and so most went into training. Someone, though, is killing these retired heroes, and this brings the others back into action. The whole story is very gritty and dark - definitely not for kids. Anyway, Paul Lee put together a LEGO version of the movie poster.
