Watchmen, in either form, indeed was not like other comics/comic movies. BUT, aesthetically and stylistically, it HAD to share characteristics with other works in the medium in order to be able to comment on them. The graphic novel looks like other comics, and that's partly why it is successful in flipping the entire medium on its head.

I wouldn't have picked every song that they did, either, but I understand (and support) the thinking behind the artistic choice.
