Watchmen Rorschach in Prison: 'You're Locked In Here With Me'

Rorschach in Prison. Incident in the food line, a monstrous man named Otis holds a prisoner's shiv to his back, and Rorschach grabs a canister of hot cooking fat, smashing it into his face, giving him severe burns. As the guards haul Kovacs to solitary, he screams to the other inmates, "None of you understand. I'm not locked up in here with you. You're locked up in here with me."

Plot
It's 1985 in an alternate reality. The Watchmen - comprised of the Comedian, Dr. Manhattan, Nite Owl II, Ozymandias, Rorschach and Silk Spectre II - are a disparate band of masked superheroes, modeled after the Minutemen, who were masked superheroes of a generation earlier, most of who are dead or afflicted by the ravages of life. The Comedian belongs to both groups. Despite the activities of the Watchmen leading to the west winning the Vietnam War which in turn has kept Richard Nixon in the White House, Nixon has now outlawed masks, resulting in the Watchmen disbanding and going into retirement, most hiding their Watchmen past under their human identities. However, the Comedian, in his human persona of Eddie Blake, and Dr. Manhattan - former physicist Jon Osterman who obtained his superhero powers through a scientific accident which almost killed him - now work for the government. Dr. Manhattan's powers in particular have kept a watch over nuclear proliferation, as he is able to stop any nuclear attack. Regardless, the Cold War is at its height with recent Soviet posturing regarding nuclear bomb buildup. In her human persona of Laurie Jupiter, Silk Spectre II is Dr. Manhattan's assistant and lover, as much as they can be in Dr. Manhattan's now non-human state.

Meanwhile, Ozymandias has come out to the world as wealthy genius Adrian Veidt, capitalizing on his Ozymandias identity to better the world, and Rorschach continues to work as a vigilante, although one wanted by the law despite he the reason that many criminals are behind bars. When Blake is murdered, Rorschach, as the only one still on the streets, believes the murderer is out to kill all the Watchmen, despite any number of people wanting to kill the Comedian for being a misogynist.

Evidence points to it perhaps having something to do with an imminent attempt of nuclear annihilation. Rorschach has to convince his colleagues, who he has not seen since their superhero days, of the validity of his theory for them to come out of retirement, which is no easy task. If they do, which will require them to overcome external forces which seem to be conspiring against them, they will have to discover both who killed the Comedian and why before they befall the same fate as him and/or before the mastermind is able to exact his larger grand plan.

[maniacal]

The most badass fucking line ever put in a movie.

[Kyle-srjm]

That moment when you want the entire movie to just be more time with Rorschach.

[BingBangPoe]

This scene lives rent free in my head. Possibly one of my favorite moments in movie history.

[matthewnada]

The thing that makes Rorschach so dangerous is his situational and environmental awareness coupled with the fact he has zero qualms about using violence

[thepaintingbanjo]

-Gets talked to.
-Immediately and subtlety surveys a plan of action.
-Chooses violence the moment the threat presents itself.

Legendary antihero.

[DowntownMeganBrown]

If I were a prisoner, I’d petition this man for early release

[jasonmatthews]

No flinching, no hesitation, no fear. A predator among prey...

[bentencho]

The once popular French Fry Fridays just weren't the same after this incident.

[ced]

Violence is never the answer. Violence is the question. And the answer is always YES.

[Ironmew]

Those punks in that prison maybe tough, but Rorschach is a literal monster. And he's going to make sure that everyone knows that.

[Vesdus]

Beautiful delivery on the 'You're locked in here with me!'

[ShineDark]

Alan Moore, "You're not supposed to like Rorschach!"
Audience, "Then why did you make him the most iconic character?!"

[Beef]

Did anyone else hear sizzling sounds from Otis' face while he screams in agony? Such... "delightful" details in a very underrated movie!

[culture_clash]

Rorshach is the reason so many of them are locked up, he f'ed them up already, and yet one of them was still arrogant enough to think he could take him on just because he had a shank 😂

[daverandall]

Absolutely one of the most badass scenes/quotes in history haha. Rorshach is the best. True antihero through and through.

[jerrythediarrheaseel]

Rorschach is what batman would become if he ditched his moral code and have no problems with torturing, killing and inflicting agonizing pain to criminals. Batman, considering his fighting skills, high IQ, gear, and situational awareness would make him extremely dangerous and terrifying if he went rogue.

[angelicamaldonado]

I love how as soon as he's talked to, Rorschach knows what's coming, and he looks at the frying fat container as his plan of action.

[raphwalker]

At the start the one chef noticed Rorschach and winks at his friend then moves away.He was in on the plan.

[Tulane_Gargoyle]

He had to make an example quickly. Now the jackals realize there is a lion in their cage.

[Lightingwarrior]

You know your a badass when even a prison full of murders, rapists, gangsters and other harden criminals are terrified of you
