One of the very few inter-company team ups to actually work. Fantastic art and humorous story. Recommended.
Boy, I have mixed feelings with this one.The plot isn't anything special, but I liked some bits of it. You don't really get to see Judge Dredd and Batman a lot in this. A big chunk of the story revolves around Judge Death teaming-up with the Scarecrow, and, occasionally, you see Batman with Judge Anderson. I am glad, however, that it's not the Joker. It's always a custom that the Joker has to be in every team-up/crossover or big event etc. The book is really gorgeous from beginning to end, due t...
Wacky ultra-violent fun.
My first experience with a Judge Dredd comic. While probably not a typical example of JD, it was an enjoyable story.
One of the biggest reasons I got into painted comic books. A slew of less than stellar ones came out after this one and never made the same impact. Only the works of Dave McKean and Bill Sienkiewicz arguable could match or excel this particular work of art. The story was funny and moved you along, but the book is about the art. It can almost stand on it's own, but the writing can't do that. I rate it 5 stars because it's a landmark book and in the 90's it jump started the craze into internationa...
“THE CRIME ISSS LIFFFFE— THE SSSENTENNCCCE ISSS DEATHHH!”God, I loved this book. Two of my favorite comic book characters, Batman and Judge Dredd, together for the first time, and what a ride it was! I adore when books like this don’t take themselves too seriously. The world of Dredd is deeply satirical (though it varies from writer to writer), and he’s best written as an over-the-top critique of the American judicial system and our culture’s police worship. Judge Dredd, good guy with a gun? Eh....
Excellent cross over. Dredd , Death and Batman
Let me tell you about a cool cat named Stewart. Not only does he read all the hip comics these days but, always has a groovy recommendation to share. So when he recommended me the first Batman/Judge Dredd crossover I was all over it.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. Phenomenally well put together art works straddles the line between the hallucinatory and the riba...
This was decent. Had some cool/weird art going on. Some creature called judge death, warped to this dimension and was causing trouble. Batman swoops in and stops him only for his spirit to leave looking for another host. Bats grabs this guys stuff and gets warped to his dimension only to be locked up by some Judge Dredds. From here it was all about getting out of that pickle and getting back to Gotham to stop this Judge Death. Not the best comic in the world but not the worst.
3.5 stars. The story is fun, and the art is outstanding.
My final read of 2021 was a graphic novel I loved as a teenager: Judgment on Gotham. I was always more of a Batman fan than a Judge Dredd fan but as an avid reader of 2000AD, I didn’t really care who won in this clash of the titans….as long as it wasn’t Scarecrow, Judge Death or Mean Machine from The Angel Gang. Beautiful artwork by Simon Bisley makes this a real nostalgia trip and completely brilliant as a standalone read: it certainly refreshed my memory, especially when Judge Anderson arrived...
Batman/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. It was written by Alan Grant and John Wagner with art by Simon Bisley, and was published by DC Comics and Fleetway Publications.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...
Absolutely terrific.The art is breathtaking, a distorted painting on each page, and the story is stupid as all hell.Love it.
Very good team up story. Batman and Judge Dredd are both tough crime fighters and work well together in a story. Recommended
Batman, Dredd and Anderson vs Death, Mean Machine and Scarecrow on the dark streets of Gotham, the perfect setting for the macabre and bizaree worlds of these two anti-heroes to collide. As the protagonists come to blows (vigilantism is, of course a crime in MC1) the gigantic personalities are amelorated wonderful by Anderson's comic interjections. The villains of the piece meanwhile are wonderfully psychotic and the imigary of 'what would scare death himself?' is a beautiful counterpoint to the...
Whilst Judge Death is set loose in Gotham and forms an unholy alliance with the Scarecrow, Batman finds himself transported to Mega-City One, where he runs afoul of Judge Dredd.Batman and Dredd are two of my all-time favourite comic book characters and their respective narrative tones compliment each other very well. That said, thanks to 2000AD legends Grant and Wagner, the overriding tone here is that of Dredd's world. There's a grimness to the violence and horror, whilst also maintaining a cer...
For me a great introduction to Judge Dredd and co. Twisted and laced with dark humour.
Bisley on art, Grant on lyrics - doesn’t get any better than this. The story is a brief folly, but well rounded and not anachronistic. The main characters are some of the strongest in comic books. Fantastic. Only sad that it had to end.
Classic in every sense.
