I know, but that isn't the case before and after the text itself fades in.

I've just checked, and the Dollar Bill shot may be usable (but not much of it), and the first half or so of both the Mothman and Silhouette shots are definitely usable.

And Jono11, you're right that those flashbacks aren't in the novel - while I'm trying to bring this closer to the novel on the one hand, I also recognize the need to change things in order to make the film work as a standalone film.  I think that using these flashbacks might help clear up some confusion in the minds of viewers as to who the hell Rorschach is talking about in his narration there.

On the other hand, I don't want to beat the audience over the head with it (which is something I thought Snyder's credits sequence did), so if it feels out of place, I won't use them.
