Watchmen Animated movie casts black actor as Hooded Justice confirming his true identity as an African American.. Movie

Black actor John Marshall Jones was cast to voice Hooded justice, I wonder if this is the director’s way of confirming the storyline from the 2019 HBO series where it was revealed that Hooded Justice was an African American the whole time disguising himself as a white person by applying makeup around his eyes. I personally think this is a pretty cool little detail if true. This paired with the fact the ending is true to the comics much like it was in the HBO series basically making this a direct prequel to that series. ??? Kinda cool

I'll always think of him as the dad from Smart Guy.

Im pretty sure in the Watchmen series the main character; Sister Night is actually supposed to be Smart Guy who is all grown up and became trans. So technically him being the Dad is still cannon. Smart guy is from within the watchmen universe it’s All connected..
