Sherlock: 8 Other Alternative Sherlock Holmes Adaptations

2. Sherlock Holmes In The 22nd Century

The world just can't stop producing cartoon twists on Sherlock Holmes! Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd Century is another gem of an alternate Holmes adaptation. Cryogenically-frozen in a coffin laced with honey (a reference to Holmes' retiring to take up beekeeping in the canon), Holmes is woken up in the 22nd century when a clone of the original Professor Moriarty appears in New London. Aided by a robot version of Dr Watson and Inspector Beth Lestrade, a descendant of his old associate, Holmes is back to the future to solve impossible crimes. What a premise! So we've had young Sherlock Holmes, stupid Sherlock Holmes, dog Sherlock Holmes, Sherlock Holmes of the future, Sherlock Holmes meeting Batman... what could beat all these? Read on to solve the mystery...
