Well, in Rob's defense, the Watchmen really aren't superheroes, and that's part of the point of the story. They are imperfect, even when capable of literally anything, and they should not be held to the same moral standards as the ideals depicted by Superman and Batman and so on.
But that said, yeah... it's funny that he's pro-Watchmen but anti-morally gray stuff.
Still, I think Watchmen is kind of a parable about what theoretical problems and conflicts "superheroism" would encounter if superheroes were real, and were easily manipulated and moved by their instincts like all humans, instead of being unrealistically idealistic. So, I think one can be into that without being into the darker versions of superheroes.
But whatever... EXPLAIN, ROB!
