Frank Miller's take on Superman was that he was Lawful Good but didn't care much for introspection. He was black'n'white and not particularly deep about anything, which made for superficial success but not much else. Doctor Manhattan, on the other hand, is kind of a true neutral - he's aloof from everything.

Manhattan's constructions, to me, had a lot in common with the bizarre assemblages Lem talked about in Solaris - things that had no discernible purpose, but that clearly reflected an intelligent hand.
