I was at the Dave Gibbons talk publicizing his new book (Watching the Watchmen) at the Birmingham International Comics Show at the weekend, and he was of the same opinion too that a sequel would be impossible (not that the studio wouldn’t find a way), and also that (his opinion only mind, as other than the comic art he’s not really attached to the film) there would be no release delay, more likely whatever deal needed to be cut to ensure it’s release on time would be.
