Watchmen TV Show - 10 Theories From The New Teaser
9. The Rorschach Cult
No coverage of the new Watchmen trailer is complete without a look into the equally scary and cool looking team of Rorschach-masked individuals. The Rorschachs appear to be the key part of the series, which focuses around this faction facing the police and, by extension, the government itself.
This comes with the pretty strong suggestion that Rorschach's diary - which he sends to a right-wing newspaper before travelling to his death in Watchmen - is not just released, but also actually believed by a portion of the population.
This may serve to explain their actions against law enforcement, as Adrian Veidt doesn't appear to have been punished for his mass-scale homicide, which for those who actually believe Rorschach would be a pretty reprehensible.
This isn't to suggest that this cult is supposed to be the heroic faction of the show, as plenty of the minute long trailer is dedicated to portraying them as potentially unstable radicals - somewhat emphasised by the section of the Bible that is behind them in their church scene, which contains some concerning details about 'fearsome righteousness'.
