Sherlock Super Powers & Series 2 Footage

Today, we have more Sherlock series 2 teases from co-creator Steven Moffat who also confirms the story threads that will develop over the course of the upcoming series. There’s also a new clip that captures Holmes’ incredible super powers in action.

While on BBC Breakfast, Moffat spoke about Holmes’ amazing super powers:

“Cleverness is his super power. He doesn’t fly, he’s not super strong, what he’s got is the fact he can look at somebody and tell everything about them. People like clever.”

He went on to tease Holmes’ new ‘non-love interest’, Irene Adler:

“It’s [like] two magnificent predators circling each other in a dark and terrible fascination, I think. [We call it an] unlove story, but it’s more complex than that, they’re fascinated by that.”

Moffat confirms that series 2 wont just comprise bow-tied installments. He describes some of the overarching story elements:

“There are threads that run throughout it; Moriarty will run throughout it and have a battle royale with Sherlock in the third of the films. [And] there’s a big battle between Sherlock and Moriarty in [the third episode] The Reichenbach Fall, and in the second one we’ve got our version of Hound of the Baskervilles.”
