Really looking forward to seeing this. I suspect RDJr will bring the right combination of bright-eyed energy when on the case plus drugged-out boredom when off. Also the physicality — Holmes was a stand-up guy in a fight, according to the ACD books. With a solid background in “baritsu”, which was Doyle’s mis-read of “Bartitsu”, which was actually a kind of ju-jitsu brought to England by an engineer named William Bartholomew who spent time in Japan.

So. Yes. Very much looking forward to this.
