Is this crap actually associated with the film?

The viral marketing campaign associated with TDK began with a guerilla -style raid on a comic book store to get the word out, followed quickly by two web sites featuring actual characters from the film -- including a dramatic and totally satisfying Joker reveal. There were like a million geek boners pressing up against a million geek bellies at once... Which is all we can ask for, really.

But for this limp-wristed Rorschach site? We get some schlub (who is apparently some geek-to-web veteran associated with Hobbit movies) who shellacs some black space with an MS-Word generated Rorschach signature. He takes the time to tilt it a few degrees, then add some Top Gun-inspired vapor trails -- 80s-era pixellated artifacts and all.

But then what? Is Snyder personally giving him instructions ? No way (Snyder to Schlubby McWebsite: "This would be awesome...").

Is WB throwing cash his way and saying "GO NUTS, KID!!!!!!!!!!". Either not, or probably, given his onering.net pedigree (which is F-ing sad).

So how did this oh-so original content come to be? He was probably struggling and took refuge in reading his dog-eared copy of the Hunt for Red October for the umpteenth time. Then it hits him: my "Rorschach"
can speak in morse freaking code!

Seriously, any one of us could have thought of a million cool things to do to push the Watchmen. I hope this doesn't reflect on the studio's approach to the whole film.

Dude, whaddya want, a ****ing 3D pop out or something. I mean Jesus, TDK thing started with a ****ing picture of Aaron Eckhart. That's about it. Give it time. This is the same exact studio, by the way.

There's a colossal difference, they were well into filming and had a cast.

The studio has nothing to do with this. This is fanmade.

hilariously, comics2film is constantly reporting about this thinking that it's real. It's so incredible how nobody believe the harvey dent site was real at first, but now everyone is jumping all over this when it's so obviously fake.

No, I already have a pop-up version of the Rorschach journal.

I want something that looks good -- i.e. not generated by Microsoft Word. The original Watchmen is littered with artifacts from the characters' pasts that would make for great viral marketing goods.

I mean, they're doing this film right by setting it in 1985 -- why would Rorschach have email? The whole premise is lazy, anti-climactic and stupid: morse code, anagrams, WTF? These having nothing to do with the source material -- and it reveals nothing about this movie.
