This Spoils the Ending
In the Graphic Novel In the Movie
   A man who works at a newsstand talks about the state of the world. A young black kid sits on the ground reading a comic called "The Black Freighter" Rorschach comes to the news stand to ask for a subversive magazine. None of this happens.
   After Dr. Manhattan leaves the interview and disappears, the government comes to his and Laurie's apartment. They take her and want to question her and give her a cancer scan. This isn't shown.
   As a 16 year old, Jon's father tells him to give up on the watchmaking business because of the H-Bomb being dropped on Hiroshima. We only see 16 year old Jon working with the watch pieces. His father tells him he is doing a good job.
   Jon goes to work at the Gila Flat's research facility and is introduced to Wally Weaver, who is an assistant. Jon says that Wally was his friend from college.
   Jon and Janey are in the Bestiary when Jon remembers that he left her broken watch in his lab coat in the Intrinsic Field Chamber. He gets locked inside and Dr. Glass tells him he can't let him out before he is blown to pieces. Wally, Jon and Janey are all leaving the IF Chamber, when Jon remembers that he left his watch in there. He gets locked in and it is Wally who tells him he is locked in.
