If Batman was real today, he'd go after the CEOs of companies, not gangsters. (lemmy.world)

Rorschach is Batman but worse in every single way. All the childhood trauma and mental illness without any of the money, good manners, or training, and with several extra doses of far right conspiranoia and misogyny.

If you read Rorschach as the good guy in Watchmen, you completely misinterpreted what Moore was trying to say. If there's any good guys in Watchmen (or at least not bad guys), and that's a big if, it's the folks around the newsstand, obviously not counting Kovacs.
