It’s interesting what they’ve done, they separated the iconic personas of Batman into two separate characters. The one you see now is Owlman, who is the rich, trustfund kid, but dweeb version of Batman. Meanwhile, another character named Rohrscach, who is poor, but personifies the badass, street smart and indomitable version of Batman. An Easter egg at the opening credits of the film are the Waynes dying, including Bruce. Those two personas of Batman went to those characters instead, because Batman doesn’t exist in this universe.
Rorschach has shit morals. But his morals are rock solid. As in, he’s cool with murder, hates gays, etc, but he’s not going to budge on an issue he sees as problematic.
Owlman doesn’t like murder and generally more morally sound. But he buckles under zero pressure.
I’ve actually never seen it, but so much of it is spoiled based on a large amount of memes, misunderstandings, and memes of misunderstandings that I feel like I won’t enjoy it much watching it. I might be wrong though.

Edit: clarity
You could split their morals too.

It’s an owl! Makes sense.
You’ve never seen Watchmen?? Man I wish I could back and watch it for the first time. Great “superhero” movie.
I think I saw it but all I remember is the blue guy going to Mars or something.
