With a third run of the BBC's Sherlock on the way, executive producer Steven Moffat has teased that we can expect new villains and new surprises rather than seeing more of Moriarty.
And he denied that the show was somehow inspired by Batman - either the comics or Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight movies - after suggestions that there are similarities between the portrayals of Joker and Moriarty, and Irene Adler and Catwoman.
