Happy Sherlock Holmes is in the public domain for those who celebrate. (Including bat-stans.)
I have no idea why this was sent to me in particular, but HELL YES, it's a happy Sherlock Holmes Public Domain Day!
#by the way if they don't extend the timelines again#superman enters the public domain in 2034#and batman enters in 2035#and ROBIN IN 2036#this is notable because for ongoing works public domain only covers elements that were present prior to the cutoff year#so although superman will enter public domain in 2034 it will be golden age superman#who couldn't fly and didn't grow up with the kents and whose home planet didn't even have a name#but BATMAN'S origin and circumstances have changed very very little since his origins#and same with dick grayson!#(of course dc will still own the batman *trademark* which does complicate matters)#(but that's part of what's so interesting!)
