There's information on Goode's accent on Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watchmen_(film)):
"Goode interpreted Veidt's backstory to portray him with a German accent in private and an American one in public; Goode explained Veidt gave up his family's wealth and travelled the world, becoming a self-made man because he was ashamed of his parents' Nazi past, which in turn highlighted the themes of the American Dream and the character's duality.[19] Because of the German-born depiction of Veidt, Goode pronounced his surname as "Vight".[20]"
Which can make sense to me, but I'm thinking would probably be lost on a viewer, since we don't have that much info in the film.
On the whole, I loved it. And that was my favourite Rorscharch line as well! Made me laugh with glee at his badassery when he said it.
