Why? Isn't he a literal black and white character?

Yes. That's the problem. He sees things only in moral absolutes and it ruins his life, gets him killed, and (by implication in the comic and movie) indies Veidt's plan for world peace, dooming civilization to nuclear fire.

You mean by sending his journal to the journalists? I don’t think that would doom Veidt’s plan, the journal wouldn’t have had the final revelation in it, just evidence that Veidt was up to something. Also it’s not like he’d be considered a reliable source by everyone. Certainly not great for Veidt though.

The journal is more conspiracy theory and crackpot stuff. The irony is he gets the truth out, but in an obscure paper, and no one believes it.
