![]() ![]() Check out the above image in which /u/TheMightyMec points to four key elements: The wealthy couple, the wife's pearls, what appears to be their butler, and the sign above the message board which reads "Gotham Opera House." The Redditor continues: Redditor /u/ TheMightyMec offers a pretty mind-blowing theory that Batman may exist in the Watchmen universe, but only as a comic book character, thanks to Nite Owl saving Bruce Wayne's parents from being murdered. ZacPensol's explanation: Manhattan is talking directly to the reader. Those are valid questions that are difficult to answer. So then, if he's simply thinking to himself, why are his thoughts in English? In any language? Why is he bothering to explain at all how he is what he is? Why is it important? Does he really need to invest time into recounting all this? Can it not all just come to him immediately at once? He points out that Manhattan's powers are so vast we don't really know the limits of them, meaning it's possible he can see through dimensions. ZacPensol doesn't think this is an accident. The moment Doctor Manhattan appears on the page, that changes. Up until we meet Doctor Manhattan, every word in the book is presented either through dialogue or in some written form, like Rorschach's journal. Redditor /u/ ZacPensol observes that Doctor Manhattan is the only character in the entire book whose thoughts are presented for the reader to consume. ![]()
