    Yeah, in pretentious terms it's ergodic, like the book Pale Fire. It's structured for the reader's ability to flip back and forth between pages, consult previous issues, and overall not be limited by a linear perception of the story's events. Also things like the speech bubbles. Rorschach has jagged, malformed bubbles in the present which the reader could interpret as his mask or a scratchy voice. But then the scenes in the 60s show Rorschach with normal speech bubbles, then he has normal ones again when not wearing his mask. I don't know how that particular aspect could be shown in a film. The 2009 movie just had him do a throaty Batman voice throughout the whole thing.

    That's just some minor examples too. Alan Moore is an obsessive madman genius.

      I like reading Rorschach with a Reddit debate bro kinda voice. They shouldn't have given him a cool voice. Zack Snyder fucked a bunch up. Theres also the details in the panels that would be hard to do on a moving format
