I was just joking with a friend that this could only be cooler if he fought zombies. That would be a new level of insane.

I think so, too. The explanation of why I created "Rorschach in Gotham" came from an odd dream. If the Keene Act was passed, Gotham City, with the amount of masked heroes and villains they have, would be the very, very WORSE place to be in 1977; it would be "Hell on Earth" and I liked that idea. We know nothing about what Rorschach did between 1977 (after the Keene Act passed and the dissoluteness of the Crimebusters/Watchmen) to 1985 (the main events of the novel/film) other than the fact that he was still crimefighting. Gotham has always been described as "New York from 14th Street down -- the older buildings, more brick-and-mortar as opposed to steel-and-glass -- at eleven minutes past midnight on the coldest night in November." The Keene Act was passed to stop the police strike and anti-vigilante riots and, for the most part, it did; but Batman would never hang up the cape-and-cowl, so Gotham (because of what it represents) would most likely still have these riots and still have officers out on strike. Not only that, but the events of Death in the Family and The Killing Joke have happened. Robin (Jason Todd) is dead; Batgirl (Barbara Gordon) is raped and crippled; Gordon is out of commission; the mayor is out for Batman's head; the new district attorney is anti-Batman and brings the city council with him; the media is against him; the public is against him; crime goes on the rise when the major gangs/mobsters unify; the Joker is still at large; Batman's relationship with Nightwing (Dick Grayson), due to the death of Todd, becomes estranged; and it's not helped when Rorschach (who is #1 target for the FBI) hitches a ride on a train and enters Gotham and partners up with Catwoman. Poor Batsy's got his hands full. Of course, this is just the background. The core of "Rorschach in Gotham" is meant for something different:
Alan Moore created him as a "Batman" enigma. If Batman lived in the real world, he would be Rorschach! Rorschach IS "Batman WITHOUT ONE RULE." Also, each Bat-villain represents Batman in some way. I thought it would be interesting to see Rorschach in Batman's world, not only against Batman, but his villains primarily. Therefore, seeing him being pitted against some of Gotham's Rogues is an exploration of his character. Each character, from Catwoman to Joker, peels the layers of his personality, his psyche, his wants, his desires, and yes -- his fears! Rorschach in Gotham, at its heart, is a "character study," pure and simple. For example, with the Joker, he's about insanity; with Mad Hatter, it's dreams (with emphasis on his fantasies); with Scarecrow, fear (with emphasis on his childhood); with Catwoman, sexuality; Two-Face, duality; Riddler, pride; Poison Ivy, control, etc.
The reason I chose Catwoman as a partner-in-crime/justice is because Batman and Rorschach partnering up wouldn't work out; they would be at each other's throats in no time! Catwoman was the only one of the Batman Family that could tolerate Rorschach and his constant bullshit. She is antithesis of Batman and yet also his complete equal and, thus, Rorschach's as well. Catwoman represents a gray area in Batman's and, thus, Rorschach's otherwise black-and-white life, where the line between good and evil blurs, which I feel Rorschach needs to explore more (whether he likes it or not). She's kind of a female version of himself -- another dark creature that prowls the night. I like the strange but delicious sexual tension that rises between an ultra-sexual, flippantly playful Catwoman and a virginal, all-too-serious Rorschach. These two....they just made sense!

That was the longest replay i ever got!
And it's always great when too different personalities and people are togheter, as you said, Catwoman is about sexuality when poor Rorschach only has bad memories from it after he's mother was some kind of a prostitute. They make a very cute, but odd crime"couple" and i hope you will do more!
Oh...and i love you Avatar....
