Lakeshore Records announces the release \"\"<\/a>of Watchmen Chapter I & II<\/em>\u2014Original Motion Picture Soundtrack <\/em>composed by Tim Kelly, arriving on all major digital music platforms today, August 22, 2025. The score accompanies Warner Bros. Animation\u2019s two-part feature films directed and produced by Brandon Vietti (Batman: Under the Red Hood<\/em>, Young Justice<\/em>), which reimagines the groundbreaking Watchmen<\/em> graphic novel through a meticulously faithful yet sonically bold lens.<\/p>\n

Vietti\u2019s Watchmen<\/em> adaptation captures the essence of the legendary 1986 comic created by Alan Moore, Dave Gibbons, and John Higgins, while pushing the medium into new territory. In keeping with this unique vision, Tim Kelly\u2019s score boldly diverges from the orchestral superhero norm, embracing the analog synth textures and atmospheric soundscapes reminiscent of late ’70s and ’80s film scores. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Drawing inspiration from genre-defining composers of the era while injecting his own cinematic instincts, Kelly crafted a score that is both a nostalgic homage and a daring new interpretation, perfectly suited to the dark, complex world of Watchmen<\/em>\u2019s alternate reality.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m very proud of my work on the Watchmen<\/em> movies,\u201d said Tim Kelly. \u201cI had a lot of leeway to be creative musically and to help support the mood and arc of the story as best I could. I think of it as a highlight achievement for me as a film composer. I feel honored and privileged to have contributed, at least in some way, to the legacy of such an iconic piece of literary history.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Watchmen Chapter I & II<\/em> animated movies are a bold new way for fans\u2014old and new\u2014to engage with one of the most revered and influential graphic novels ever created. Tim Kelly\u2019s soundtrack captures the spirit, suspense, and complexity that made Watchmen<\/em> a genre-defining masterpiece.<\/p>\n
