Sure he had to, but can you prove that he referenced Watchmen?

When Brad Bird himself denies it, then you're left with two stories that 
have similarities.  NOT one story based on another.

Believe it or not, coincidences DO happen.  Given the public zeitgeist, 
the idea of a "fallen hero" has been popular for quite some time, and 
nostalgia is always a seller.  It's no wonder that somebody made a movie 
about retired superheroes, whether or not the person who made it has 
seen or read Watchmen.
