I enjoy those movies and all but to me Sherlock Holmes is not supposed to be an "action hero" he's supposed to be more cerebral which is why I think Jeremy Brett's Sherlock was the best. as a matter of fact, Jude Law was in one of those episodes as a young boy.
I'm eventually going to see Dark Knight Rises, but since I'm off to Baltimore soon I might have to wait until next week. I have been thinking now that Nolan is done with the Batman franchise that the next person to take the reigns should NOT start out with an origin story...everyone knows the origin of Batman like they know the origin of Jesus, enough already. They need to do the 'A Death In the Family' story arch, but keep Nolan's idea of more realistic characters and so on. For example, The Riddler could be a Zodiac Killer kind of mad man, The Penguin a Political Boss much like whom he was actually based (William 'Boss' Tweed the leader of Tammany Hall). But the story line should be Batman & Robin, Robin turns into Nightwing, the new Robin is Jason Todd who works with Batman who is growing weary of crime fighting and Jason Todd is murdered (well it was The Joker in the comic, but it could be by whoever) and this gets Nightwing to come back and be Robin again and Batman has a whole vengence angle in the 3rd movie....but that's as a fan what I want to see.
