I don't think it's a good idea to link the characters in Watchmen (Movie) and Watchmen (TV Series) to the comic book character articles, especially considering that there are major differences in the continuities.

The Watchmen comic and movie definitely need to be treated as separate entities.


 * The graphic novel ended with Ozymandias unleashing a genetically engineered squid onto New York to convince people of a trans-dimensional attack.


 * The movie completely changes this, with Ozymandias nuking several major cities and framing Doctor Manhattan for the attack.


 * The TV show is a sequel, but it explicitly can not be connected to the movie. The squid and trans-dimensional attacks are a major plot point. At one point, we even see an after-effect of the squid attack when it starts raining baby squids. Anyone watching the TV show as a sequel to the movie is going to be completely confused.


 * But while the TV show explicitly follows the graphic novel, the comics have their own sequel with Doomsday Clock Vol 1. Doomsday Clock and the TV show don't seem to follow each other, despite being sequels to the graphic novel (suggesting that the TV series is an alternative sequel to what the comics are doing).

The comics universe (Watchmen Vol 1, Before Watchmen Vol 1, and Doomsday Clock Vol 1), the movie universe (Watchmen (Movie), Watchmen: The End Is Nigh, and the Tales of the Black Freighter cartoon) , and the TV show universe (Watchmen (TV Series)) need to be treated as their own continuities.
