I found this to be one of the best tv series of this decade, in both the acting and the writting. I love the map work, story and way the crime scenes are examined. This show based on the works of Sir Arthur Connan Doyle is a modern day twist on the consulting detectives battle against crime, whilst he must fight his nemesis in the shadows. Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat do an excellent job of updating the classic novels, whilst still keeping true to the books. I have to admit that before I saw Sherlock, Robert Downy Jr. was my Holmes and thought it would be impossible to better, but I was wrong. Benedict Cumberbatch's icy portrail of the "Great Detective in the funny hat" was most engaging and funny with his lack of understaning human emotion. But it is Andrew Scott and Lara Pulver, who in my opinion made the show brilliant for me. Moriarty, played by Scott was a flamboyant, nasty man with some of the best killer line. While Irene Adler had a powerful and emotional story with lighter notes, giving her a more rounded personality than Rachel Mcadams (though I still do like her portrail.)
If you haven't watched this show you should as it is tv gold and a brilliant Brittish classic tv series.
Injustice Gods Among Us Year 2 #6 Renee Montoya was with Commissioner Jim Gordon and Harvey Bullock when the Regime Soldiers marched into Gotham. She asks Gordon if they are really just going to stand by and let the soldiers take over, but is told "not now." However she persists, asking him if he has a plan. In #11, Montoya and Gordon go to visit Bullock in the hospital after he was beaten by a soldier. Motoya is shocked when Gordon tells Bullock to get up and tries to argue that he won't be able to walk, but Bullock demonstrates he can. The three leave the hospital, while Gordon tells them they are going to police the city.
In #12, Montoya stands along side Gordon, Bullock and the Birds of Prey, listening to him as he tries to rally the former policemen to join the Insurgency. Montoya is quick to tell a female cop to loose her attitude after she gets angry at the suggestion to leave the force. She watches in silence as Bullock shoots Gordon in the head, demonstrating the power of the pill. In #14, Montoya and Bullock are part of the Birds of Prey's plan to capture two Regime Soldiers. They start running when they hear a scream in the distance and Canary tells them both not to show any signs that would reveal they have increased strength until their communications had been taken out, so that Superman would not figure out the Insurgency had stolen his tech. A regime soldier has a teenage boy hanging upside down and has broken his leg. Montoya shoots his helmet and watches the bullet bounce off, telling him to let go. He reminds her that bullets can't hurt him, dropping the teenager, but she just shoots out his helmet's eye lens. She smiles saying "Bullets may not hurt you, but shooting you in the face still feels pretty damn good." She has to hold Bullock back when one of the soldiers removes their helmet to reveal he was the one that put Bullock in the hospital. Montoya joins Bullock after he smashes the two soldiers through a wall into an abandoned warehouse. She challenges them to fight stating they could have a fair fight, but that it was "long past fair." She fights with Batwoman, and Bullock to take out one of the soldiers. She comments "Worst... supersoldiers... ever" as she watches the other soldier flee. After Gordon has subdued the soldier he orders her, Black Canry and Bullock to arrest him. In #16 Montoya is holding hands with Batwoman as they listen to Batman's pre-war speech telling everyone to say good-bye to husbands, wives, children and family.

I was concerned how it would fit in to the Arkham video game series, however my worries were put to bed and I think it doesn't affect the running of the series between Origins to Asylum. The premise of this movie is that the Riddler is threatening to post secrets on the internet about the Suicide Squad, so Waller wants them to take either him or the data out. While Batman is trying to locate a chemical bomb that Joker has set up to destroy Gotham.
I personally love the dinamic between the team and the fact that they can't stand each other, but all hate Waller more. My favorite character has to be Harley Quinn. Her personality is so child-like and zany that it makes every scene she is in brilliant to watch. To sum up what I mean, all I need to say is "Bugs Bunny", you need to watch it to get the refrence but I just love how it goes from calm to completly bizare. I would recommend this film not only to fans of the games, but anyone who likes the other animated movies Dc brings out. (Kids under the age of 12 may need to be aware of the blood, heads exploding and a sex scene.... Just have to state it, before recomending :( )
