they should of made an audiobook of him reading the whole book.

[alteredoptions]

@MMAFan69r it's a comic book, not a novel

[MMAFan69r]

@alteredoptions actually yeah its a graphic novel

[alteredoptions]

@MMAFan69r then what's the book called? on wikipedia it says that its a comic book.

[UndeadTurk]

That's exactly how Rorschach should sound.

[TheMightyHeptagon]

Beautiful and terrifying at the same time. The second half is one of my favorite passages from any novel. As much as I loved the movie, it really annoyed me that they cut that speech out.

[PuppetMaster822]

Yeah so basically it's Jackie Earle Haley's voice with a british accent

[fizzypopism]

Homosexuals possibly disliked this.

[zirtapot57]

Ozymandias disliked this.

[Greenie961]

This guy fails at Rorschach's voice, js.

[TheLastArchdemon]

@Greenie961 you realise this is the guy who made Watchmen, the sole creator, he cant fail at Roscharch considering he created Roscharch

[Greenie961]

@Greenie961 Well all the other people seem to do it perfectly, doesn't matter if this guy created it.

[absmukherjee]

dislikes pwaaaah... rorsaaasch said NO

[AmazingL4rry]

I don't think Moore ever liked Rorchach, but all these years later I think Rorschach is the only character in Watchmen I can really relate too except on my bad days, then it's The Comedian.

[andresitoand]

They must shooted this escene like this, it wuold had been a great introduction to the movie

[tarth74]

no disrespect to jakie erl hailey (who did a spectacular job) but I actually think that alan moore does a better job as rorschac, he fits the psychopathic nature of the character disturbingly well

[nachothebassplayer]

Idk why everyone hates the movie, I thought it was pretty awesome and that Jackey Earle Haley did a good job.

[zq42black]

The voice of a genious sure can sound scray O.o

[723PanTera]

@zq42black you have no idead dude , trust me and u know hat really scares me? not the fact that i've been called a genius or that i'll sound just like this when i'm older but what really scares me is that when i hear myself creating and spreading this fear in my voice....i like it

[ratonmickey83]

this is THE REAL rorschach. that's what he would've sounded in real life.

[Bicycle1800s]

Moore really underplays the true madness behind rorscach's character whilst reading, sounds much more sinister and realistic than Jackie Earle Haley's depiction in the movie.

[mcjester321]

Alan moore created the watchmen to show the realistic form of super heroes like rorschach is suppose to be like batman and Dr mahattan is super man in a realistic way

[dimsumboy22]

Thumbs Up if you were a fan of the Watchmen before the shitty ass movie!

[NICKREAPER316]

This voice fits rorschach well, especially with the 1930's sort of English detective outfit. It's a different portrayal of Rorschach from the movie. This one could very well be considered the true voice of Rorschach since Moore created the character. Where the movie glorified him as a bone crunching bruting badass, here Alan shows his true bleak and dark nature, his negative outlook on life, his true madness...It's damn scary. I'd like to hear Moore voice "MY FACE! GIVE ME MY FACE!!!"

[servomoore]

This is fine for when Rorschach is doing his paranoid, delusional stuff, but I wonder if it would work at all when he is talking about Edward Blake and the famous Pagliacci bit, which I think was a bit stunted in the movie version too.

His version sounds like he's overdoing Rorschach's faults and not letting through that he is a human also capable of something resembling compassion.

[IggyHazard]

@servomoore Rorschach's capacity for empathy is what drove him into Dissociative Identity Disorder in the first place.

[OTimeMasterXO]

@servomoore Read the book. He's not capable of compassion anymore.

[servomoore]

@OTimeMasterXO If he isn't, then there's a big flub during the scene where he goes back to get his replacement costume and decides to leave his landlord alone because of her kids (especially that one look he gives the kid he apparently empathizes with)

[Chrisbajs]

I read The Road recently, and all I could hear was Alan in my head.

[CloudedPoet]

I prefer the movie's interpretation of his voice better. The way Moore puts it makes me think of this character as more boring, slow, and have less of an impact on me. That being said, I did see the movie first however, so I may be more biased towards that, but I still feel that Jackie Earle Haley did a much better job.

[TheThing88]

@CloudedPoet

Nah, Jackie Earle Haley annoyed me. He sounded too forced, it was distracting. Same problem I had with Christian Bale in the Batman movies.

[CloudedPoet]

@TheThing88

I disagree. I feel that Jackie Earle Haley nailed the character, while Alan Moore just bored me with it.

I'll agree with Christian Bale though. He does an good job for the role, but if he didn't make it sound so rough, it'd be better.

[DaveDragon1985]

@CloudedPoet stop pretending to be a poet. Earle Haley made Rorshach nothing but pretentious in that film. He didn't pretend to have this "im a hard man" voice, he was monotone and loathing. He hated everything around him, if Batman had a personality that was realistic, it'd be like this and you just failed to understand it. Never criticise Alan Moores finest work like you're some kind of fine author, you piece of shit. You're no Shakespeare or Dickens, try reading a fucking book.

[psyddicus]

@DaveDragon1985 this is the only comment i've read but holy shit you are really upset about comic books man

[TheThing88]

Coming from someone who REALLY wasn't a fan of Jackie Earle Haley's performance in the Watchmen movie, this fucking great.

[FreakBoi2008]

troll

[noggyd120]

only trolls call people trolls >_>

[FreakBoi2008]

well done, still, if you aren't a troll u must be a retard, pick one.

[noggyd120]

urmm..no

[shaolinkin]

JESUS CHRIST. is this from the watchmen???

[BirsaGomorraBeach]

"the" watchmen?

[malandr0bem]

yes. But in my personal opinion, the guy who played Rorschach could have been played by someone with a grittier voice.

No one knows Rorscach like Alan Moore though.

[shaolinkin]

I've since seen the actual video with Alan Moore reading this, I agree entirely with you. Moore has a voice so fitting, I know when I finally do see this movie, it just won't be the same as far as Rorschach's voice goes.

[georgemiser]

@malandr0bem love the voice. but i doubt rorschach should have a british accent.

[Mitta4ever]

dez vylenz porbs to you!!

[doctorw2]

rorschach is the man!

[JAYLIB03]

He makes Rorschach sound downright creepy.

[malandr0bem]

I wish he sounded this way in the movie!

[BurgundyMutt]

@JAYLIB03 Bloomin' right you are! (personally I was waiting for Rorschach to say "bullox" XD)

[xsvmaster]

didn't really like it as much as I should...his voice went in and out too much...

[rorsh2008]

so profound!!! touched a nerve! when i first read it still does! every poliction shoud be forced to read watchmen!!

[0Tillz0]

My favorite parts as well, nice.

[OoogieBoogie]

You don't even know. America is home of aimless life.

[55wolf55]

god i love Rorschach

[kaledrealmanofsteel]

God is British and his name is Alan Moore!!!

[Whirligig12]

Amen to that!
