Superman in Doomsday Clock

[Sacred Knight]

Yeah, I'm still not completely sold he's tangibly showing up in the book in the present day. His presence could just be felt in other ways, like KungLao says in a flashback or something.

[GreatKungLao]

Maybe we will finally see some regrets from Manhattan towards what he had to do with Rorsach and will be asking himself if he had other choice. You know, watching over Superman might trigger him some thinking regarding himself and his actions in The Watchmen.

[Sacred Knight]

I could easily see that, yeah.

Though admittedly it would be funny to see an actual present Rorschach try and wrap his head around Superman. Powers of a god, heart and soul of an angel...he'd have more troubles understanding Superman than even DC's most jaded characters do.

[GreatKungLao]

Now that I think more about it, it will be very interesting to see Manhattan analyzing Superman and himself in a way that Superman uses his powers for good and always does the right thing, while he himself having even greater powers haven't done a thing in The Watchmen to help humanity in a right way, instead he allowed himself become government's property.

So are they going to retcon it that Manhattan never killed him?

Maybe he's an Oz prisoner?

there was that popular theory that he was new 52 Question, instead of vaporizing Rorsach, Manhattan just teleported him to the dc universe.

If you think about it, you could have always argued that Manhattan never killed him. A being with that kind of power on the atomic level would find it trivial to bring him back together.

Of course, you may not want to think about it that way....

The more I hear about this, the worse it sounds.

It'll be critically acclaimed when it comes out, but a few years down the line, I have a feeling it's doing to be derided as Geoff Johns ultimate vanity project.

Well, that wouldn't be anything new for him (or any writer for the Big 2 at this point) .

It's a shame New 52 Question got turned into this weird mystical character as part of 'The Trinity of Sin' with Pandora and Phantom Stranger. It would have been cool to see Vic Sage interact with Rorschach. At least Lex and Ozymandias' meeting should be cool.

So this is how Rorshach fits into Doomsday Clock

As I finished reading Watchmen, I remember thinking to myself what an amazing plot development it would be for Rorschach's journal to make its way to none other than Batman.

Finally, DC is giving us the conclusion to Watchmen that we deserve.

I'm loving these covers.

I see what you did there. The snark is with you, Skywalker.

I honestly thought Bruce wouldn't even be Batman a year from now, guess my theory was wrong

Unless he is suiting up as Batman again at Superman's request to help with this case, or the cover is misleading intentionally.
