The first Mystery where is Jimmy Hoffa body buried?

The Second Mystery Is Elvis really Dead?

The Third Mystery Is Atlantis Real and where is it?

The Fouth Mystery what's in Area 51?

Who is the Greatest Detective Holmes of Batman.

My man Detective Conan will out gumshoe both of those suckas.

I think I actually read a comic with Batman and Sherlock Holmes

they kinda worked together though so you couldn't tell who was better

but Sherlock Holmes was portrayed as a very very sharp and smart dude

I, uh ... no. I will not be beating that. Thanks.

Sherlock might give batjerk a run for his money.
Knowing batman if he starts loosing the competition, he'll win the fight.
He will sucker punch sherlock after inviting him over to celebrate.
Then beat him to death and dump his body.

Batjerk:"Alfred give our friend some tea and.."

Batjerk:"Alfred, get your ass in here and dump this motha****er off the cliff."

pffft.... if Bat's invited Sherlock round with any ulterior motive the Holmes would know... plus Sherlock often carries a gun and is quite capable of handling himself in a bout of fisticuffs

Batman.. Sherlock actually has the need to figure out plots, even though he does so hastily and with precision.

Hell,
Batman doesn't need to invite him over.
He could just walk up to him right after he wins and punch the shit out of him.
I've seen sherlock's best moves, he die if he uses them on batman.
Trust me, batjerk wins the fight.

You really think they buried him?

Yes, Elvis is dead.

Atlantis is real (already located) in the Atlantic Ocean.

Nothing's in area 51, that's just a cover for area 52!

I'm the greatest detective!!!

Indeed you are,my friend, indeed you are.


batman
"Mercilous, I have something to show you at the batcave."

Hoffa is buried in Giants Stadium

Elvis is dead

There is no Atlantis

Secret government projects are in Area 51


You don't have to be a good detective for that shit, just gotta have a decent bullshit detector

Hoffa is in my backyard

No he just went home(duh hasnt anyone seen MIB)

Yes Atlantis is real, its called Puerto Rico

And like my friend said, Area 51 is just a cover-up for Area 50

In Sherlock Holmes' time - Sherlock Holmes.

In Batman's time - Batman

sherlock... hes english, and has the advantage of not always having to fight to solve his problems...(aka, the american way)

screw you, pack of crumpet eating sissies

sherlock held his own against professor moriority in hand to hand, he is capable of defendin himself quite well and lets not forget, holmes{or arthur conan doyle actually} was the inventor of forensic science, without that, bats wudnt be a detective at all, and ofcourse holmes is the true dady of detectives.

There wouldn't be any aircraft carriers if there weren't canoes and rafts first, but that doesn't mean they are more impressive than the carrier is.

Oh, cut the nationalistic crap out, for God's sake. You think either country is all that great? If you really pay attention to the laws that have passed and the way things actually work, you know that America is basically a totalitarian nation in disguise, and we're also divided for the most part into two general categories: filthy rich (a tiny minority) and dirt-freaking-barely-making-it poor (more and more, the rest of us).

As for the U.K., the people may have half a clue (at the very least, the European people in general seem to), but the government itself can't seem to get enough of kissing our psycho nation's ***. Probably because they kind of know who's in the best position to control what little remaining oil there is in the world right about now. That's all any of this fighting is about anyway, you know.

Flag-waving and chest-thumping is just hopelessly ignorant, frankly.

Which Sherlock?

Anyway, Sherlock.

They are both the best in their place and time, put both in an envivorment they don`t know and I`ll give Holmes the nod (even if some of the science he used has later been proven outdated and wrong).

By the way some claim the Question is better than Batman at detective work. I don`t know jack about him but is he that good?

Ted Kord is better than Batman, that's all I know.

Holmes hands down.

It's quite an unfair battle considering the eras. But I'm going with Holmes regardless.

Batman.

Sherlock. Spite.

Bruce doesn't have any Sherlock (Downey, Cumberbatch, Jonny Lee Miller) deductive reasoning or intuition feats. Sherlock rolls hard 20s on all his Spot, Gather Information, Sense Motive and Knowledge checks. He's hax.

Batman steamrolls

I've read 4 Sherlock novels, a majority of the memoirs and adventures of Sherlock Holmes short stores, I also own both Downey films

In the entire canon of the character Holmes has done nothing to put himself on Bruce's level of deductive reasoning and intellect. Bruce literally looked at Martian and deduced that he was a telepath with no prior knowledge or any physical signs. When the League recently fought Amazo he deduced that he was repairing himself with nanites, again with no physical signs or prior knowledge, even baffled Superman. This is all without tech also.

Someone might say that it isn't a fair comparison because Holmes doesn't have aliens and robots running around his world. Irrelevant, even for regular humans Holmes has never deduced and retrieved so much information in the span of a few seconds, without any physical signs or clues to work with. This is coming from someone who's read Sherlock Holmes for over a decade now.

Truth is even Nightwing and Question are better detectives than Holmes is. Dick while sitting at home in his underwear can solve cases of America's most Wanted just by watching it on TV.

I'm sorry, but perhaps you want to read those stories again. That, and your post. Figuring out traits of another person, without relying on "physical signs or prior knowledge" is not called deduction, it's called guessing. The only way those feats count in Batman's favor for this thread is if there were physical signs that he observed, which were too minuscule to be noticed by others... and in that case, Sherlock has deduced much, much more information about others after just a moment's glance, than Batman did in either example.

One more thing to consider: Watson specifically tells us cases that he believes make for good stories- a closer re-read will show you that the vast majority of the cases Sherlock listens to, he solves without leaving his apartment. So no, Dick isn't better than Holmes either.

Doesn't Batman have kind of an unfair advantage for number 3? You know, considering he knows Aquaman?

The scenarios in your OP are a bit too nebulous to really say for sure. They both normally start with clues and leads and such, not just a task with no prior information. Area 51 would obviously favor Bats, though, because he's more equipped for breaking and entering a complex. But that's not really a statement on his detective prowess.

Probably the closest to an answer you can get, without sliding into baseless conjecture, is saying that it depends on the scenario. Holmes is likely better at pure deduction, but certain scenarios would be easier to crack with Batman's tech and/or fighting prowess. I'd venture to say that any opinion beyond that is, at best, unprovable. And at worst, guesswork.
