How Ra's Al Ghul Crosses Over With Watchmen (Spoilers)

In Watchmen, the journal of Rorschach, frames the comic from beginning to end. The first words in Watchmen are those of Rorschach, and the com ends with the journal falling into the hands of someone who might publish them, exposing and revealing Adrian Veidt's involvement in the conspiracy that will lead to a genocide to inspire world peace. The ending of Watchmen echoes the end of Kind Hearts And Coronets, the one item that could doom the great plans, in the hands of the very person it should not have ended up with.

Then in Doomsday Clock, Geoff Johns and Gary Frank actually have Rorschach's journal read and published, Robert Redford winning the 1992 election by using the details of Kovacs' journal, which he gained from the New Frontiersman. This leads to a rebellion against Veidt.
