A lot of people are into the crime-solving genre, whether it is for films or Tv shows. But to know when this fanfare started, we must take a little road down memory lane. We must take a look at the history to know the source from where it all started. And we can be sure that all the roads to the roots of the crime-solving genre will lead to the mastermind himself, Sherlock Holmes. The character of Sherlock Holmes itself is made-up or, let’s say, a fictional one. But the impact that it has had since its creation will make you think otherwise. And many people do believe that Sherlock Holmes is based on a real-life person, but we are here to tell you that is not the case. He is the pioneer of the crime-solving genre, and today we’ll talk about him and discuss his outfits in this blog.
We are surprised to know that many people still ask this question: Was Sherlock Holmes a real person? Even though the character of Sherlock Holmes is a fictional one, the cultural influence that he has had cannot be any more real. And not to mention the fanbase that he has gathered, because it is enormous. And over the years, the character of Sherlock Holmes has been adapted for many Tv shows, films as well as video games. Sherlock Holmes books and novels have paved the way and still serve as an inspiration for these modern-day adaptations. We will look at some of the famous Sherlock Holmes shows and Sherlock Holmes film series adaptations of Sherlock Holmes in recent times.
Robert Downey Jr.’s Take on Sherlock Holmes
The setting for the character of Sherlock Holmes was that of London of Victorian-Era England. That was the time period in which the detective character was based. After all, that was the actual time when the writer, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, wrote the character. But over the years, there have been many different takes of Sherlock Holmes’ character with different time settings as well. But if there is one adaptation that does true justice to the actual roots of Sherlock Holmes, it is the 2009 film adaptation of Sherlock Holmes. The film is simply titled “Sherlock Holmes” with Robert Downey Jr.’s take on the famous London-based detective. The film sticks to the characters’ roots while taking inspiration from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s novel. But at the same time, the films bring something new to the character, at least in terms of cinematography and filming scenes.
The renowned and genius filmmaker Guy Ritchie brought his skills and mind to the character and added his classical flair to the film. It is, without a doubt, a true mystery and crime-solving one. But it also has the famous theme of all of Guy Ritchie’s films, which is action-packed scenes with brilliant cinematography to back it up. And Robert Downey Jr.’s portrayal of the character was nothing short of a genius either. He brought the character of Sherlock Holmes to life and made us all think that it was Sherlock Holmes himself, in flesh and blood. He was up to the mark with his acting performances, and just like his classical flair, the character was treated to the RDJ flair that we all love. This was without a doubt one of the best takes on Sherlock Holmes, with two films already made and a third one on the way.
We are yet to know the Sherlock Holmes 3 release date or Sherlock Holmes cast. And we cannot wait for what Robert Downey Jr. has in store for us for the upcoming Sherlock Holmes film. But unlike him, Benedict Cumberbatch’s take on Sherlock Holmes was quite different from Robert Downey Jr’s portrayal of the character. The Sherlock Holmes Benedict Cumberbatch is based in the modern-day city of London, England.
Henry Cavill’s take on Sherlock Holmes
We are living in a world where Superman has taken on the role of Sherlock Holmes. Are we dreaming or what? We never thought that we would say this, but yes Superman, the man of steel himself, has taken on playing the character of Sherlock Holmes. Well, it was not Superman himself, but it was the actor, Henry Cavill, that played Superman that took on the role of Sherlock Holmes. All jokes aside, he did a fabulous job in portraying the character in the Enola Holmes film and becoming the mystery and crime-solving detective that we all love. Well, if you are wondering why it is called Enola Holmes and not Sherlock Holmes? Because this time, on a rare occasion, Sherlock Holmes is not the main protagonist of the story. Instead, it is his baby sister, Elona Holmes, that is the heroine of the story.
And just like his brother, Enola takes up on the mantle of Sherlock Holmes in the film by solving the mysteries herself. But we also get to see Sherlock Holmes in many of the scenes and see his involvement in his sister’s adventures as well. This film not only offers something different from the usual Sherlock Holmes tales, but we also get to see Sherlock Holmes not playing the main protagonist for once. And we have to admit that seeing him acting as a big brother who cares for his sister’s well-being has got us impressed, not going to lie.
The Fashion Statement of Sherlock Holmes

And in all of them, Sherlock Holmes wears a long coat of dark color like black or grey. This clothing not only matches the crime-solving genre of the novels, Tv shows, and films, but it also goes well with the Victorian Era of England.
