Greatest Fictional Dectective Who Do You Choose?

Sid Halley

Anyone know who that is (without google)?

 

[GungaGalunga]

Batman.

I just Googled it, some guy with some connection with race horses, apparently.

Who was the detective in several H. P. Lovecraft stories? I honestly don't remember if a detective was involved, or just some guy snooping around who eventually was driven mental.

I tried Googling that also, but no luck on my part.

That is so tough a decision between Batman, Sherlock Holmes, but less we forget the great Detective Sam Spade of the roaring 20's and beyond!

I wanna say Batman, but Sherlock Holmes could probably smell one of Batman's farts and deduce that he is Bruce Wayne in five minutes...
