[Watchmen]Is there anything Dr. Manhattan is NOT capable of?

I've only watched the movie, and in that he seemed pretty much omnipotent and nigh-omniscient, despite being tricked by whatshisface. Is there actually anything in the comics that he verifiably failed to do or admitted that he couldn't do?

He claimed that, if it came to nuclear war between the US and Soviet Union, he would not be able to stop all of the Soviet missiles before they detonated. Some think this was a bluff on his part, though. If not, that puts a very hard cap on his maximum energy expenditure and ability to multitask.

He's also incapable of accessing his full temporal memory when hit by a reversed polarity tachyon flow, or whatever the fuck Oz called it.

He's also bound by that temporal memory. When the SQUID detonated, it became a fixed fact, and Manhattan was unable to inform himself before it happened in order to prevent it. Basically, he cannot violate causality.

This also implies that he cannot travel faster than the speed of light.

Emotionally, he's unable to relate to his former humanity, or forming genuine connections with mortals.

The real issue, though, is that he's largely untested. We haven't seen him go all-out, so we don't know what he's capable of ... or what he isn't. He might be weaker than Silver Surfer or more powerful than Living Tribunal. Without feats, we just don't know.
