how many times can you spot the letter e in:
q: did rorshach know edward blake was the comedian before the comedian died? in this scene, rorshach enters the comedians penthouse hours after edward blakes death.



he discovers the comedians costume in a secret closet within edward blakes penthouse.
did he know the comedians true name before that night?
answers from either the comic book series or the movie are acceptable.

a: it appears that he did not.  on page 4 of the first issue of watchmen, rorschach appears in his civvies and is carrying his sign when he walks past the two police detectives that just finished looking over the comedians apartment.  they are discussing masked vigilantes—specifically rorschach himself—which piques his interest in the crime scene the detectives had just left.

on the next page, rorschach finds the comedians badge—bloodstained, so rorschach knows it is tied to the murder.  it appears that finding the button is what convinces rorschach that the crime definitely needs further investigation.

he is still mulling over the fact that the apartment definitely belonged to the comedian as he lays out the dead mans costume; hurm, he mutters.

the clincher, however, comes when rorschach explains what he has found to his former partner.

investigated a routine homicide.  victim named edward blake.  found the costume in blakes wardrobe.  seems he was the comedian.
