Doesn't matter if it's from a novel,(probably one of your hippie trash sci-fi novels pffft) movie series, ancient classic crime stories.

My obvious choice is I believe compared to Jesus by Yahtzee if I'm not mistaken.


That's right folks,or should I say...... Falks [sub]huurrrr[/sub]:





Columbo!

My favourite thing about him is his general way of playing with people's heads,screwing with the one he suspects until he makes them confess even before he finishes gathering the evidence, showing up and tormenting them, when at first he seems like a poor silly policeman.

Also,how he always shows his badge only AFTER he freaks people out in each episode :D


[HEADING=2]Fun facts[/HEADING]

Columbo's wardrobe was provided by Peter Falk himself; they were his own clothes, including the trenchcoat which made its first appearance in the second episode.Falk would often ad libitum "Columbo-isms" (fumbling through his pockets for a piece of evidence and discovering a grocery list, asking to borrow a pencil, becoming distracted by something irrelevant in the room at a dramatic point in a conversation with a suspect, etcetera), inserting these into his performance as a way to keep his fellow actors off-balance. He felt it helped to make their confused and impatient reactions to Columbo's antics more genuine.


And last but not least,this is the character talking about his job.


Oh ,yes,please add the little things that make him your favorite.All of them are good at their jobs.

Would the Doctor count? He finds things, figures out what they are, then catches the killers. Then he pwns them so hard that they won't try and shoot him the next time, which comes in handy a lot when the Daleks show up.

Morse.
Well, that was a short thread.
I have no bloody clue who that is, or where he's from, at least add a few details.
Whoopsy daisy :)
He is a fictional character in the not-so-famous TV show Inspector Morse based off a couple of novels I never checked.
I'd recommend checking it out.
If you want more information...

Monk, or perhaps Batman.
Maybe Monk, because I can't see his Bat-Bulge in the above image.

Detective Dick Gumshoe pal. He's been my favourite character in every Ace Attorney game and was the only interesting character in Investigations.

INSPECTOR GADGET
So corny, it's amazing. I remember watching the two horrid tween movies when I WAS a tween. Good times.




His gadgets were wonky and something always went wrong, but he'd win out in the end. Very Scooby Doo that way.
Speaking of which...

Oooh I remember that show, saw a few episodes, never could get into it but I liked the character.

Another series that aired on the same crime channel was about a british detective with a mustache and atitude.

House? Sure, he doesn't solve crime. But he applies similar methods in order to cure disease.

And crime, is a disease.

Only the most insane animé inspector ever:

You have to be slightly insane to chase after Lupin III, and never give up.
