Nite Owl & Rorschach - David Finch

Owlman

This pin shows the hero Nite Owl. I chose to show this pin because Nite Owl is a key character to the plot. Nite Owl is basically Batman in the Watchmen universe, minus the tragic backstory and professional fighting skills. Nite Owl has any gadget on his belt you can think of. He has a flying blimp in the shape of an Owl. He normally worked with Rorschach with these items to try and make a dent in the crime of New York City, until the banned superhero act.
