The Crime genre deals with all aspects of crime, from their detection, the motives of those committing the crime, and the punishment involved. Sometimes a crime narrative is based on a real life situation, or is entirely fictitious. A common structure of a crime narrative begins with the crime itself, the investigation, and then the outcome or judgement. The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle is an example of an early crime novel. Sherlock Holmes, a famous London detective, solved crimes using his extraordinary deducting skills.

Nite Owl
Series of scaled illustrations comparing the height of Nite Owl with other related DC Comics characters

Nite Owl II, also known as Daniel Dreiberg is a fictional vigilante in Watchmen and the extended DC Comics universe. Having looked up to the first Nite Owl since early childhood, and having served as something of a sidekick to Nite Owl in his teenage years, Daniel became Nite Owl II after the original Nite Owl’s retirement.

Lacking superpowers, he uses a variety of owl-themed gadgets in his fights. Though he prefers not to begin with hand-to-hand combat, in a pinch he can hold his own. Much like batman, all of his gadgets are named after his signature animal.

Nite Owl, portrayed by Patrick Wilson in Watchmen (2009), has a height of 6’1" (1.85 m).

Standoff (Reservoir Dogs)
Side elevation of a scene in Reservoir Dogs where Mr. White and Mr. Pink are having a standoff

Towards the end of the 199 film Reservoir Dogs, Quentin Tarantino’s directorial debut, there is a Mexican standoff. The scene occurs after a planned diamond heist has spectacularly failed. The criminal gang return to a warehouse where they launch accusations and insults at each other. The scene climaxes with characters all pointing guns at one another, waiting for someone to take the first shot. Most people die, except Mr. Pink, who hides from the bullets and later escapes (with the diamonds). The scene highlights the shallow performance of masculinity.

Mr. White, portrayed by Harvey Keitel, is 5 foot 7 inches (1.70 m) tall. Mr. Pink, played by Steve Buscemi, is 5 foot 9 inches (1.75 m) tall.
