Rorschach Journal - November 1st, 1985 (Final Entry)

This is Rorschach's last entry, from Chapter X: Two Riders Were Approaching, in the meantime Rorschach had been captured, blamed for Moloch's murder, broken out and killed The Big Figure, did questioning at Happy Harry's and discovered Adrian Veidt's involvement with Pyramid Deliveries.

'Final entry?' he asks, noting that Dreiberg's convinced that Veidt is behind everything and wants to visit Antarctica. He's not sure if they're ready, and can't imagine a more dangerous opponent. He shows his only admittance of physical weakness with that statement and then following with 'I am cold tonight.' Then claims Veidt may be faster than both of them, and foresees return from the mission as unlikely. He decides to mail his journal to the only people he can trust. He tells the reader directly that whether he is alive or dead, the truth is that Adrian Veidt is responsible. He says he hopes the journal will reach them (The New Frontiersman), but says 'tanks are in East Berlin, and writing is on wall.' He completes his journal quickly by adding that he regrets nothing, has lived his life free from compromise and steps 'into the shadow now without complaint.'

"Oblivion gallops closer, favoring the spur, sparing the rein. I think we will be gone soon."

Rather poetic, isn't it?

[elgreynacho]

Where is 'Tanks in Berlin'? even my copy of the motion comic has that in it?

[akaten916]

@antihero276 I prefer the growly voice from the movie, it fits his his looks and personality.

R.I.P. Best Hero

@frogiefilms It's already out, dipshit. (Pretends not to notice the "2 years ago" sign under your comment)

[antihero276]

hell of a lot better a voice then the movie, Rorschach is Monotonous, not growly.

It's interesting that of all the Watchmen characters people seem the most particular about what Rorschach should sound like.

This guy is close, but when I read Watchmen I heard it the way Alan Moore read it. Jackie's voice was too Batman-like for me, not as bad though I'll give him that.

Shouldn't Veidt and Dreidberg be pronounced with longer 'e's?

actually... the comic and the animated comic end in the way the entire book is: ambiguity. The intern moves his hand over the journal (and other letters) in the "crank file". If it gets published, or if it doesn't... that is left to our own moral subconscious to decide.

[skrawnykid100]

if you read the whole book and seen roarshach die for trying to tell the world about what adrian was doing and that he was responsible for the deaths, so manhaten killed him so he wouldnt tell, but he wrote what adrian did in his journal and gets it published into the newspaper for the world to know so he didint die for nothing he pretty much won.

They omitted (censored?) the tanks in Berlin.
