While agree that Haley's interpretation of Rorschach was excellent and very well done ("WHERE IS MY FACE?!?!?"), I disagree with the baby-faced Kovacs from the novel bit. In all of Moore's (more Dave Gibbons') portrayal of Rorschach-without-his-mask, his face is dead calm, showing no emotion, no fear, no joy, no nothing. Dead. It was that 'deadness', on the babyfaced, freckled redhead that made it so intense. It shows that this kid really got messed up growing up, and it wasn't because he was ugly, or looked funny, or anything like that.

Sure, I get that -- I'm just saying that in the novel it didn't work for me so well. Kovacs was so far dissociated from Rorschach it kind of made it hard for me to identify them as the same person. I didn't have that trouble in the movie.
