A meme created on February 7th, 2009 featuring a picture of the Watchmen character "The Comedian" uttering the phrase "Just A Matter Of Time, I Suppose" with yellow lettering above his head. The phrase originated from the beginning of the second trailer for the live action Watchmen film due out on March 6th, 2009. There is speculation that the meme's origins could date as far back as a month, but the first .jpg file occured when a newfag on /co/ went trolling and posted the phrase "If this isn't a meme in the next 12 hours, everyone dies." Multiple people reacted to the terrorism and it officially became a meme on February 8th, 2009 because nobody died and eventually it started showing up on other boards such as /b/. Some oldfags have called it the greatest meme of 2009 so far but others say that it is only around because every Zack Snyder film needs a meme. Whether this meme will survive is just a matter of time, I suppose.
