Panel 2: The reveal in this panel supports the boastfulness
exhibited by Veidt on Page 9, panel 5,
which foreshadowed this confrontation.
Panels 6-7: Veidt’s dismissal of Dan Dreiberg (Nite Owl),
and Dan’s rage at Veidt’s assault on Laurie, is yet another convention
subverted by Moore & Gibbons in Watchmen – the righteous indignation of a character when their significant other
is assaulted leading directly to a physical confrontation.
Also,
the remark by Veidt in panel 7 –
“…do grow up…” – can also be seen as a bit of meta-commentary. Not only does the grow up remark describe what Moore & Gibbons wished to achieve
for the superhero genre through the creation of this book, but it can also be
seen as a direct comment to the readership.
