Warner Bros. has released a new image along with a couple set photos for Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows.  Nothing I've seen so far has convinced me they're upping their game with this one.  It looks like more of the same, which isn't bad but the first film was good with the potential to be great.  That's what I hoped we would get from the sequel but only the casting of Jared Harris as Moriarty has piqued my interest.  These new images won't change anyone's mind, but hopefully their release means a new trailer or featurette or some fresh look at the film is on the way.

Hit the jump to check out the images.  The film also stars Robert Downey Jr., Jude Law, and Noomi Rapace.  Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows opens December 16th.
