    Overview

    Wearing the inkblot mask he fashioned from a discarded dress, a beige trenchcoat and fedora, Rorschach resembles a kind of twisted comic version of an old school detective. He considers the mask his true face and not a costume at all. Rorschach had been one of the members of the Crimebusters, but has continued his one-man battle against crime long after costumed vigilantes became both detested and illegal (made illegal by the Keane Act). Rorschach, many would argue, is the protagonist of Alan Moore's Watchmen. A man with a very black and white sense of the world, embodied in his ink blot mask (there is no gray), Moore portrays him as a person hoping only to eradicate filth from the streets. He sees any transgression of the law as wrong, no matter how small, and seems to punish each with the same impunity. He speaks with an economy of words, using fractured sentences and seeing no need for conjunctives, as seen with, "Give me smallest finger on man's hand. I'll produce information. Computer unnecessary."

    Rorschach was played by Jackie Earle Hailey in the Watchmen movie, directed by Zack Snyder (best known for directing the film adaptation of 300). He is one of the two main protagonists in the prequel video game, Watchmen: The End is Nigh, which is available for download on XBLA, PSN, and PC. Rorschach is also slated to appear in   DC Universe Online as an NPC.
