Comic 'Diversity' has struck Watchmen

Rorschach is now alive again and is black.

“Recasting” Rorschach as a black man was not an idly chosen detail on Johns’ part when adding to the Watchmen setting. At the same press event, he was asked whether the new Rorschach’s race was a conscious effort towards a cast with greater diversity, and he answered candidly and immediately. “It is,” Johns said, “There’s also more to it than that.

I can understand the whole two Rorschachs thing since Nite Owl and Silkspectre are second generation heroes. But I doubt Rorschach was freaking training someone or whatever to become him. Rebirth sucks so far.

dont know watchmen but Diversity in comics in the way they're doing it is horrible but guess original black characters dont sell (look at static) but hopefully black panther sets a different precedent in comics/film indusrty

Well I know he was hunting down a killer but what if he was training someone while doing it? Or those "journals" had teachings of how he fought? I think either one could be true

What next a black transexual Hellboy?
