Sure Lock

Last night, I went to go see the new Sherlock Holmes movie.  I want to say I liked it, but I fell asleep during the big Holmes/Moriarity face-off near the end.  I didn't hate it, I guess it just made me sleepy.  

Having a passing knowledge of the original Holmes stories, I knew what was going to happen once I saw the waterfall.  Maybe that's why I got sleepy.  Or maybe it's because the movie is bathed in drab, quiet, grey colors... I'm getting sleepy just thinking about it...

The Dark Knight Rises trailer was released yesterday.  As pointed out at io9.com, the Robin logo is seen in the football crowd. Plus, the team color is yellow (Robin wears yellow), and we see the name of "Ward".  Burt Ward played Robin on the 60's Batman TV show. I don't think Robin will be mentioned in the movie, but I think the spirit of "someone younger following in Batman's footsteps" will be be an undercurrent of the movie.

See that "R"? Of course you do.
