During the 'Watchmen' (2009) opening credits, the original Nite Owl rescues Thomas and Martha Wayne from a mugger outside the Gotham Opera House, preventing the need for Bruce Wayne to become Batman in this universe.
My favorite facet of Watchmen lore is that since superheroes were so normalized, mainstream comic books developed to focus on different adventures, like pirates (hence Tales of the Black Freighter).
Furthermore, Tales of the Black Freighter eschews the glory and admiration of most pirate comics by showing just how violent and destructive the lifestyle is, exactly how Watchmen ponders superhero comic canon.

Also, Jeffrey Dean Morgan who played the comedian in Watchmen played Thomas Wayne in Batman V Superman. Both movies were directed by Zack Snyder
