Rorschach's Journal - October 21st, 1985 (1)

[Lestat220289]

Actually, you're all wrong. All the heroes in Watchmen are based off existing heroes:

Dr. Manhattan: Captain Atom, Silk Spectre: Nightshade/Black Canary, Nite Owl: Blue Beetle, Rorschach: Mr. A and the Question, Ozymandias: Peter Cannon, Thunderbolt

The Comedian: The Peacemaker.

Batman is very different from both Rorschach and Nite Owl, even if there are some common characteristics they share.

[HiopX]

Dr Manhattan is the only SUPERhero in Watchmen

[NICKREAPER316]

i don't like the voice actor here. it sounds like the computer voice they use in arby & the chief, which i don't watch, but i know the voice.

[Cerek120]

heroes with morals aren't cool

[TaskMaster619]

rorschach is based on batman, nite owl was an invention of dave gibbons' when he was a kid

[Drayco91]

@TaskMaster619 No. Alan Moore wrote the story about characters DC had just aquired, but had to change it so the characters could still be used. Nite Owl was Blue Beetle, Rorschach is the Question.

[TaskMaster619]

@Drayco91

no i don't mean literally or soley based on those characters. Rorschach was meant to be (as Alan Moore says in an interview about Watchmen) like Batman in the real world and the look is the quesiton (roughly) and the name Nite Owl came form Dave Gibbons childhoos, it's all in the book "Watching the Watchmen".

[pricture]

Should I get the Watchmen comic, or the animated comic? :P

[valerySV]

everyone has a right to like whatever they want, and we should respect that, Even if its a retarded belief that batman is better than watchmen..... because it isn't....but thats my opinion... lol

[Trevhard1]

Have this episode on my iPod.

[EvilAngelEyes]

no one is superior to batman, faggot. The Dark Knight is the best, an 1000x better than this watchmen bullshit. Not to mention the character himself is a direct ripoff of batman, BATMAN WINS, go eat a dick.

[Leigori]

If you wanna get technical, Night Owl is a rip off of Batman.

Besides Rorschach is better than Batman for one solid reason... Batman wouldn't kill ya. Rorschach has absolutely no qualms doing exactly that.

[kip151]

@Leigori Because life to him is extinguishable so long as it is immoral.

[ninjasauceshadow]

@Leigori Nite owl is the early batman and rorsachach is the dark knight to a point. Rorschach as you say is welling to kill unlike batman.

[YahsSreyas]

@Leigori if you REALLY want to get technical, yes, night owl is ment to be a rip off of batman, but, rorschach is ment to represent what batman or the question would be like if he excisted in our world..... a lunatic

[conceitarturo]

@Leigori Better? heh. Night Owl AND Rorschach are both simils of Batman, of different aspects of him because they are criticism.Neither of them is supposed to inspire respect, one is wanton the other is a gadgety geek. Moore did not intend them to "outdo" other superheros because they were more badass or grittier he intented to question the superhero notion showing how unbalanced it would make a real human being. Snyder didnt get that, the lame costumes are meant to make em look maladjusted.

[cheddarz32]

@Leigori if u wanna get technical nite owel is based otherworld blue beatle. I personally think hes closer to batman but it says in the back of the book that nite owels blue beetle, rorschacks the question (obviously), dr. manhattan is captain atom, ozymandanian is thunderbolt (i dont know who that is)

[dreadfulmouse]

@Leigori

Actually Both Rorscach and Night Owl represent two sides of Batman.

One side is very dark while the other is heroic and filled with useless gadgets

[joesomenumbers]

And Batman is a ripoff of Zorro, who's a ripoff of Robin Hood.

But don't let me get in the way of your crush on Bruce Wayne.

[62SG]

The Dark Knight sucks Watchmen's dick.

[celinamahek]

Batman is better, by miles!

[IRockDoYou08]

lol that is so true

[doctorw2]

oooooooh i hate whoever is doing the voice of rorshach in this video hes supposed to sound creepy not like some bloody newscaster.

[bjjme7]

Rorschach coolest mutherfucking superhero EVER

[Spoc1012]

anti hero my friend XD

[scarfdaddy]

hes no anti hero in my eyes just a hero

[Spoc1012]

thats cool he is anti in mine XD

[62SG]

Rorschach is only a hero if you're 12.  To anyone with a brain he is a very disturbed and very dangerous psychopath.

[Marshmallowmann]

well... i don't think so

[62SG]

Oh lawd you're one of them.

[DFaz3]

How is he an anti hero?

[Spoc1012]

anti hero is a person who would do anything for justice even killing a civilian in the anti heroes way. he hates criminals like the punisher and he would do anything to stop them there for he is in between a villain and hero. bad guys hates him and cops hates him.

[ChromeGhost0219]

vigilante is what he is

[sonicx7]

more like the most relatable hero ever. I would become rorscach if i could.

[Ghost6Pig]

Wow!!

[darkvocalist]

Rorschach is the best. Not enough "Atheist Conspiracy Theorist Heroes" out there!

[Cryptidattack]

love the way his -face- is done...

[kestorz]

Spectacular work of a spectacular comic book character. Five stars :)

[mrnosaj]
