In the book, some of the costumed "heroes" go over the line, doing unspeakable things in the name of "the greater good". Who watches them? If their crimes are uncovered, who stops them?
As for the clock, it was used for years during the Cold War as a symbol of how close the USA and USSR were to destroying each other (midnight would be the end of civilization as we know it).

Absolutely kick-a** book ... hope the movie does it justice.
