Okay I just ran into a huge roadblock with Rorschach, and I'm not really sure how to proceed.
With the Rorschach in Watchmen, Rorschach is an integral part of his identity. Walter Kovacs dies, essentially, in his mind and is replaced by the mask. The mask is his face, and Rorschach is everything he is. So clearly my guy will travel along those lines. But my question is, I saw that Chi used the name "Batman" for her character even though he isn't THE Batman. Because of how big the name is to the identity of the character, should I just find another name? I'll probably be re-tooling the background slightly so maybe that'd be for the best.
I guess I'm just not 100% sure how close/far I should be to canon, so I'm being a little weird. I'm sorry!
