My first impression is that it's not a great idea.  Watchmen was meticulously designed as a series of still drawings to be pored over and analysed individually as well as followed in sequence - the only reason the TV series worked (and it really did work) is because it was telling a completely new story. 

From what I've seen of any other adaptations or other comic spin-offs, meddling with the original isn't a great idea.  But we'll see what happens.

Definitely Not Mister Pops

This could work with the right voice cast.

My suggestions would be:

Ozymandias - Harry Shearer doing Mr Burns
Rorshach - Johnny Hardwick doing Dale Gribble
Dr Manhatten - Patrick Warburton.
Silk Spectre - Pamelyn Ferdin doing Lucy van Pelt
Nite Owl - Dan Mintz doing Tina Belcher

You may quote me on that.

Was my first thought also! That's been stuck in my head all weekend.
