Uh no, it's just because Zack Snyder is just Michael Bay but more self-indulgent.

Snyder didn't think any of that while making Watchmen, he just wanted "cool dAhRk supes" which is pretty stupid since Watchmen aren't supposed to be big superpowers heroes. He also missed a lot of the original novel ironically enough despite wanting to "re-create" the visuals without getting why the visuals were great enough in the first place.
