* Meta-Example: While Creator/AlanMoore instantly disassociated himself from the adaptation, Dave Gibbons helped out with the crew and gave his blessings. Even better is that Gibbons openly praised Creator/ZackSnyder and the cast for honoring the source material even in spite of his own disagreements.

** Which would explain why Veidt leaves bread crumbs enabling Nite Owl (and, by extension Rorschach) leading them to Karnak, making sure they escape the destruction of New York. He also lets Dan have several free shots after Rorschach is killed.

Added DiffLines:

** A minor instance: when the Comedian chides Doctor Manhattan for not stopping him from murdering the pregnant Vietnamese woman (who was likely carrying Blake's child), he goes into a rant about Manhattan becoming so detached from humanity that he eventually won't give a shit about Laurie Juspeczyk (Silk Spectre II), Osterman's current paramour and (secretly) Blake's daughter by Sally Jupiter. The fact that the Comedian has the balls to not only call Manhattan out for his shitty behavior towards people, but makes special mention of a specific individual who may (and will) be hurt by it, displays how much this otherwise sociopathic killer cares about his estranged progeny.

** Eddie was absolutely no angel, was generally unpleasant in personality, and had done a multitude of heinous acts. But ''he'' felt terrible about his attempted rape and physical assault of Sally enough to respect her wishes to not talk to Laurie, and not tell her who her father was. He was uncharacteristically kind and gentle when meeting Sally again in 1949, and is the same way to Laurie (or at least the closest he can be) when she confronts him at the party. He has killed many out of his twisted sense of patriotism and is unapologetic about it, [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes but Eddie at least cares about the family he could've had]] amid the wretched, bloodstained life that he enjoys.
