In the final issue of Doomsday Clock, Superman’s character has been used to inspire Dr. Manhattan, the only super-powered member of the Watchmen. Dr. Manhattan reversed Superman’s manipulation of the DCU, while instilling a new hope in the Watchmen universe in the form of a new child. This ultimately gave his world hope to attain peace, with people coming out in protests to stop the world governments from creating more deadly weapons. This is followed by Manhattan sacrificing his powers as he looks to heal the world of Watchmen both physically and spiritually.

The last son of Manhattan

Speaking of the new child, Manhattan had spared two criminals, the Mime and Marionette, early on in the series as their child was destined to play a major part in Silk Spectre's life. The latest issue reveals that Manhattan takes in their son and names him Clark with a hope of creating a better version of the child for future generations.
