Although it's still up in the air regarding how, exactly, Bruce processed Kovacs' journal, the moment everyone had been waiting for finally came in this week's issue, with the Caped Crusader having finally read Rorschach's account of the Ozymandias Conspiracy.
It actually makes for quite a funny moment, where Rorschach stands behind Bats and nags him until he's finished. Although in fairness, it would appear as though Batman looked upon the journal's contents with a degree of scepticism, given how the issue pans out at the end.
The Dark Knight is a fan of deception however, and while there's a chance he - like most who'd stumble upon a rambling, incoherent and politically charged journal - would toss it in the bin, Batman's never been one to leave anything to chance, even if it has come from the most unlikely of sources.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
