No one is aware of this power though - he has not shared his omnipotence with the public.
I think it is a fine movie that stands on its on. The book readers (and I am one) try to compare the two, unfairly I may add. The novel has so much going on that it is almost impossible to trace every nuance to a movie without expanding it to impossible lengths.

I think the point of using Dr Manhattan for the ending was to show him telling humans to knock it off or else. He was basically sending a warning. Even Ozymandias didn't know he was invincible until right before the end. There was a great quote after Ozymandias tried to kill Manhattan
Right there it was settled, even for the smartest man in the world, that Manhattan was invincible.

I've walked across the surface of the sun. I've seen events so tiny and so fast they hardly can be said to have occurred at all. But you... you're just a man. And the world's smartest man poses no more threat to me than does its smartest termite.

This.
And if the world's smartest man thought that he could defeat Manhattan, why wouldn't the less intelligent leaders have the same (if not greater) misconception that he could be stopped?
