    Huh. Not really impressed with the voice acting or the heavy focus on Rorschach for the trailer. He was a main character, not the main character.

    Disappointing.

      The trailer is, to its credit, doing some decent misdirection so the whole plot isn’t given away. Rorschach as a noir detective is a decent hook for people who don’t know about Watchmen and you can show a lot of snippets of that without spoiling much.

        If I remember correctly he’s also kind of the narrator in the book - we follow other characters as well, but Rorschach is the one taking the active role of narrating the universe through his diary entries or whatever. Makes his voice an obvious hook for a trailer.
