I’m just glad I was wrong about it being a Doomsday Clock adaptation

What I’m not looking forward to is Rorschach’s voice. His voice was always described as monotone; nothing more, although the broken speech bubbles may have implied raspiness.

When Jackie Earle Haley played him in 2009 he opted to give him a gravely voice. This was most likely to ride the coattails of Christian Bale’s Batman voice, and in all likelihood Haley’s normal voice was just too sweet and soft for the character (seriously, listen to interviews with him). Of course, I love Haley, and I love his version of Rorschach, regardless of Snyder’s directing.

However the VA for the 2024 movie seems to just be copy-catting Haley for recognizably. Which is annoying to me, just because “gravely” was never what his voice “sounded” like to me in the book!

The closest was the Watchman Motion Comic’s narration. The narrator for that actually did an excellent job capturing the slow, monotone, emotionless tilt I always imagined in my head

Just another funny aspect of his character. He had an eye for bold, colorful things.

And maybe it’s true the color and pattern of his suit was only out of convenience (I think it’s the same suit he was given at Charlton when he left at 17, going by the black and white photo) but I dunno I feel like he wouldn’t have worn it if he didn’t like it, regardless if he could or couldn’t afford another one

I like to think if things didn’t happen the way they did he would’ve had some striking choices in clothes

I mean we all have seen the concept art—-Mr full body latex suit
