Warner Bros. has released two new character posters from Guy Ritchie‘s upcoming action adventure Sherlock Holmes this morning, showing off the intense glares of both Holmes, played by Robert Downey Jr., and Watson, played by Jude Law. The film follows the story of this legendary partnership as they come across a mysterious enemy in the form of Lord Blackwood, played by Mark Strong. The film will also star Rachel McAdams as the super-hot, super-dangerous Irene Adler.

The movie sounds/looks/probably will be a lot of fun. As for these posters, it’s pretty elementary, my dear readers. Two smug bastards getting ready to give crime the business. Pretty blandiose, but it reminds us that Guy Ritchie’s next cinematic adventure is coming — and it is very exciting considering the talent involved and the iconic nature of Britain’s most beloved sleuth.

Sherlock Holmes hits theaters on December 25, 2009. Check out the new posters below, courtesy of Empire.
