Trivia[]
- David Bowie was known to have been bisexual. Adrian Veidt's association with Bowie would've reinforced Rorschach's suspicions of Veidt's sexuality.
- According to the Watchmen: The Film Companion, the opening scene featuring Bowie in his Ziggy Stardust persona is set in 1976. In the real world, however, Bowie was going by the persona of the Thin White Duke. The most likely in-universe explanation for why Bowie continued his Ziggy Stardust persona into the later half of the decade was because Doctor Manhattan's influence encouraged him to keep up the outer space and glam science fiction image.[2]
