This is my first Journal entry. Wow, what to say...

I've been reading like crazy the last few days. I'm talking like... I think I read two books day before yesterday, three yesterday, and I'm finishing my second one. It's pretty.... Awkward? Yeah I wanna say that. I mostly wanna say that because I still have about thirteen books I haven't read. I need to do that. Yeah. I'm reading "Son of a Witch" right now, by Gregory Maguire, author of "Wicked" which was totally wicked. I'm going to read "Tales of Mystery and Imagination" by Edgar Allan Poe, you know, the guy who wrote the "Raven"? I like his poetry about Lenore the most. Then I'll read "Selected Poems of Lord Alfed Tennyson". He's a cool guy. Dead, but cool.

Am I boring you yet? *chaa* (like anyone's reading this) Not that it matters, but yeah.

Chaaa, you know vhat?

Imma go now.

You're welcome. When I saw it, I remembered a fanfic I had read about how instead of killing him at the end of the movie, Jon sent him to another world.

He sent him to the world of the Justice League, and Rorschach starting killing all the bad guys there, starting with the Joker.

And I am being attacked by a ferocious kitten while I'm typing this. If you want a link to that story, just let me know and I'll send it to you.

I've read that fanfic actually and commented on it, but the author is unfortunately not continuing the story, which saddens me because it starts off quite nicely.

Rorschach in Gotham was something I made up well before I read story actually and before the Watchmen film was released. I was re-reading the novel several months before the film was to be releasing the next year. I've been a fan of the book for about 10 years and I've been a Batman fan since I was 2, so that's about 26 years. It's a fill-in-the-blanks story. We don't know anything about what Rorschach did between 1977 (at the passing of the Keene Act, which made costume adventuring illegal) and 1985 (the main events of the story). Both at DC Comics and if Gotham City existed in the real world, I believe the city would be a neighbour New York.

After the Keene Act was passed, with the amount of costumed villains they have, Gotham City in 1977 would be the WORST PLACE TO BE! The Keene Act was meant to stop the police strike and riots, but it doesn't in Gotham. It's "Hell on Earth"! Batman would never hang the cape and cowl, which would drive the public into a frenzy! The police strike is half on duty and half on strike. The public is still rioting and it escalates because I add the events of Alan Moore's The Killing Joke, which Barbara Gordon, daughter of Commissioner Gordon, was shot, raped, and crippled by the Joker and Joker is still at large through Rorschach in Gotham storyline. The mobs come together and join forces for bigger gain and stronger territorial hold against the city. The new district attorney, who is mafia-paid, makes sure that Batman gets the blame for the strike and the riots, and has everyone against Batman -- the city council, the mayor, the new police commissioner (as Gordon was kicked off the force), the news, the public... And it doesn't ease Batman when Rorschach enters into the picture and fraternizes with Catwoman...

Distract the kitten with Holy Hand-Grenade of STRING!

I myself haven't read the novel and though I have read the comics I busied myself, mostly, with the movie. I enjoy writing different fanfics where Rorschach, instead of being killed by Jon at the end, is transported to another world.
The most recent world I've placed him in is the world of the Justice League, not unlike the world of Batman.
The first person he meets is Superman and they have a talk about whether or not the Man of Steel is all for Earth, being that he's from another planet.
I like it really, even though it gets very philosophical.
I do believe the Keene Act was the worst thing that the politicians could have thought up. I believe that if they're helping to make the world a better place, masked vigilante's are awesome. Yes, Awesome.
I myself also support the way Rorschach does things, by that I men how he doesn't let a criminal go. The law, in my opinion, is too lax.
The Flash is my favorite superhero, though Batman is a close second. I even have the Batman theme for my cell phone.
And the Holy-Hand grenade(of STRING) thing. You have to make sure you count to three! Not, two, not four, and five is just ridiculous!

I have thought of transporting him to the DC universe like that, but I decided not to since it was written down by others. I decided pretty early that I didn't want to do an "alternate universe," instead I wanted to keep Rorschach in his world. I thought it would be more interesting to see Gotham City fall with all the events established in Watchmen, from the Keene Act to the blowing up of New York, which I feel Gotham will hit the aftermath of the explosion, which explains the graphic novel, Batman: Cataclysm, where Gotham is hit by a 7.6 earthquake from an unknown origin. (Shall I point to Adrian?) And there was the line where Rorschach drops his journal off at the New Frontiersman, saying he's giving it to "the only person I trust." (Perhaps Catwoman?) Also, I'm ONLY using Bat-verse because I can't add Superman into the mix. Dr. Manhattan has to be the ONLY super-powered being on earth; he's the one that suppose to save the world from destruction. Adding Superman and other Leaguers looses its power and, either way, superpowers never belonged in the Bat-verse in the first place. Gotham has always been very realistic and gritty and it worked out better for me that way.

Also, at its heart, Rorschach in Gotham is a "characer study": Alan Moore described Rorschach as "Batman without ONE rule." Batman villains are the best of its kind in comics and each villain represents Batman in some way, psychologically, metaphorically, intellectually, etc, therefore they represent Rorschach as well. With each character, I want to peel away the layers of Rorschach's personality and psyche and reveal something new and fresh about him -- Joker is insanity, Two-Face is duality, Riddler is pride, Poison Ivy is self-control, Scarecrow is his fears (with emphasis on his childhood), Mad Hatter is his dreams, Batman is morality, and Catwoman is sexuality and intimacy.
