Ozymandias is a fantastic villain whose legacy was rightfully cemented in DC's Watchmen. Far from a walking cliché, the character was well-rounded and emotionally complicated, looking to right the world in his own twisted way. But DC ruined this iconic figure by bringing him back. DC's Doomsday Clock brought together the Watchmen universe and the traditional reality of the Justice League. It was a flawed idea from the start and very controversial. Ozymandias could never live up to his previous portrayal, and the comic never really landed with readers. The DCU would never make the mistake of meshing these worlds together, and certainly shouldn't paint Ozymandias as an antagonist for anyone other than the Watchmen.
