Elementary

[daglob]

On Elementary last night they investigated the murder of a guy dressed up as a comic book character. Some of the scenes took place at a comic book publisher. While the company and their characters were non-existent, the "Atomics" covers decorating the walls weren't.

Oh, dang. Who did the guy dress as? Where did this take place?

I've been trying to find out if it was filmed in a real comic book company, but haven't so far. The character was "The Midnight Ranger" (I suppose from some internal evidence he might be a Batman clone, although his secret ID, Danny Dalton, sounds like Stan Lee invented it), and the company is (I think) "Superlative comics". There were mock ups of several of the company's characters and several copies of Mike Allread "Atomics" covers.

Funniest line was when Holmes mentioned that The Ranger had died several times and been brought back, and listed the manners, including his favorite, falling off a cliff locked in the arms of his chief adversary...

...and we know where the title "You've got me; who's got you?" came from...

My favorite line was when Standardbearer was dumbfounded by Sherlock deducing his real life occupation and asked how he did it: "I was bitten by a radioactive detective".

My second favorite...

Third favorite was Holmes wanting to know why none of these super heroes died of radiation poisoning.

I don't think so.  Faith Erin Hicks posted on her tumblr that a few of her pages from her book "The Nameless City" appeared in a few scenes and she's an indy who publishes with First Second. I think the set dresser just had good taste
