“I wanted to kind of make this like, ‘Yeah, this is what Batman would be in the real world’. But I had forgotten that actually to a lot of comic fans, that smelling, not having a girlfriend—these are actually kind of heroic! So actually, sort of, Rorschach became the most popular character in Watchmen. I meant him to be a bad example. But I have people come up to me in the street saying, 'I am Rorschach! That is my story!’ And I’ll be thinking: 'Yeah, great, can you just keep away from me, never come anywhere near me again as long as I live?’” (Alan Moore in a 2008 interview)
