It is up to the combine efforts of Judge Dredd and Batman to not only save the day, but time as well.īatman/Judge Dredd: Judgment on Gotham is written and constructed rather well. Judge Death, an alien specter that can possess dead bodies, The Scarecrow, and The Mean Machine. The story deals with a time-travel belt, which gives villains from the Judge Dredd universe the ability to travel through time to wind up in Gotham City and teaming up with Batman's villains, which leads to all sorts of shinanigans. It was written by Alan Grant and John Wagner with art by Simon Bisley, and was published by DC Comics and Fleetway Publications. You'll just have to read it yourself and find out.īatman/Judge Dredd: Judgment on Gotham is a one-shot comic book crossover featuring a crossover between Batman and Judge Joseph Dredd, a law enforcement officer in the dystopian future city of Mega-City One. Will the Batman be able to save the day? Will Mean Machine be able to fix his clock of doom so he can be right more than twice a day? And will Judge Dredd be able to administer justice upon a crime so demented and foul? The typical comic book hijinks graft themselves unto a plot so diabolical in nature it threatens the very nature (also natch) of Gotham City. With more right hooks than the Thrilla in Manilla, your eyeballs will be overwhelmed by the sheer illustrated force of this comic. First spikes and then an utter deluge of the subconscious roars across the pages with unfiltered atavism. When Judge Death hooks up with Scarecrow (natch) it's up to Batman and his newfound otherworld ally to save the day. Glints and gleams of both worlds in character and art enflesh this story of epic proportions. Phenomenally well put together art works straddles the line between the hallucinatory and the ribaldry realistic. What starts as an erstwhile Batman hunts-down-the-bad-guys-affair swiftly devolves into a cacophonous otherworldly journey into the dimension(?) of Judge Dredd's plane. So when he recommended me the first Batman/Judge Dredd crossover I was all over it. Not only does he read all the hip comics these days but, always has a groovy recommendation to share. Let me tell you about a cool cat named Stewart.
