So most gingers are relegated to comical screen roles involving kid delinquency (problem child) or something involving Ron Howard. However, the new superhero movie Watchmen is blazing new ground for Gingers around the globe by displaying a ginger Superhero.
Namely a sociopath ginger hero who actually wears a mask the entire time, and is basically the kid you beat up in high school. But he does get his licks in this movie.
Meet Rorschach, pretty much my favorite movie character right now, even if he is a lunatic.
Played by Jackie Earle Haley, who from what I can gather isn't actually a ginger, Rorschach doesn't seem to have any super powers and is basically the "outcast" hero.
Perfect for a ginger!
He does really drive the plot of the movie, even if he's doing his Christian Bale from Batman voice impression the entire time. Move over Jack Bauer - there's a new sheriff in town.
(PS - go see Watchmen, but only if you have three hours to kill. This movie is one of the best to come out in a lonnnng time but it's also a loooonnngg movie.)
