I smell vigilante Batman: Is there any chance I could speak to someone with a little intelligence? The artwork by Simon Bisley is something that shocked your visual senses due the awesome use of color and effects on the final artwork. Batman seeks to bring justice to the streets of Gotham City. Judge Dredd imparts law to the streets of Mega-City One. The most lethal menace that Mega-City One has ever faced, Judge Death fools Mean Machine to steal a dimensional-jump belt and the deadly judge escapes to Gotham City only to combine forces with The Scarecrow, and this is only the beginning of a high-octane adventure with the safety of two cities in the balance.
Just the way you wanted it! While the Ventriloquist is developing some mysterious plan during a theater play, Judge Dredd suddenly appears in the dimension of Gotham City demanding a man-to-man fight with the Batman. The Riddler lures into a trap to the Batman and he ended in some other unknown place where Judge Dredd appears too and a whole group of deadly intergalactic fighters, where a mysterious host demands a contest of battles where only one can survive.
This story is a basic all-out rumble without much brains in the narrative but the really great artwork by Carl Critchlow is plenty enough to gain the vital third star to the rating on this particular story. The Joker. Justice Department offers ten million credits for information leading to his capture!
It seems that all journeys lead to this story. After three hard encounters between Judge Dredd and The Batman, everything seemed like a paved road conducting to this final event. The Joker heard from the Scarecrow about the existence of dimensional-jump belts able to transport people between dimensions, so he traces one of them. Once in Mega-City One… his plan? Oh, something small I think that this is more solid story of the bunch involving Batman and Dredd, a really smart use of all characters of both publishing houses and also, the incredible artwork by Glenn Fabry.
So you thought that was all, ah? Well, you were happily mistaken since this collected TPB featurig a bonus story, reprinting the crossover of Judge Dredd with Lobo!!! The Law meets the Main Man! Lobo is bodyguarding an intergalactic TV host since he is really needing the money, and when he thought that that was going to be an easy and boring job, a whole armed group of unknown mutants attack the dressing room of the TV host that it seems to be more that it was supposed to be. Lobo trying to keep up with the mystery and getting his payment use a dimensional-jump belt from one of the beaten mutants seriously, those dang guys of Tech 21 should be put in jail by the Judges for the extremely poor inner work about the security of such devices!
It seems that anybody is able to steal a D-Belt without much trouble! Meanwhile, Judge Dredd is in the middle of security issue with the new president of Belgium Unknown to all parties in all this mess is that their roads will meet in an underground war against an army of mutants!
Surprisingly, this is the best dang story in the whole TPB! Crazy, funny, full of violence, just as any good Judge Dredd story should be. Also, and while the artwork is in a totally different line than the ones done by Bisley, Critchlow and Fabry on the previous stories of the TPB, the work by Val Semeiks is just the kind of artwork that you find in a regular Judge Dredd story, so it works wonderfully here, helping to enjoy this wacko narrative but one heck of entertainment.
View all 12 comments. Now I make not apologies for this book - this is a lesson in pure nostalgia -the reason I say this is that I read the majority of these titles while at university. One of my best friends at university was a huge AD fan and was slowly trying to get a complete collection I wonder how far he got.
What a load of violent pointless fun they were. Yes they are exactly what you would expect from the class of two great characters but also the writers and artists involved with this project. The stories follow a very loose arc as you would expect - more to justify the relationship between the two rather than as a longer over reaching storyline.
However it does work well as you can see how their interactions develop and I must admit wonder how future stories would develop. These are definitely the products of the 90s and I wonder if we will get the see such stories again I am not expect but what I can say is that its great that someone has got them all collected together in one volume. As I said to start with a huge trip through my university days. Feb 05, Jim Gorman rated it really liked it Shelves: graphic-novel.
Just a graphic novel cross over with Judge Dredd meeting up with Batman. It was a fun read, with two characters I enjoy. Sep 17, Anthony rated it liked it Shelves: batman.
Fun and easy read. It's also the first Judge Dredd stuff I've read, which is pretty bad for a British comic book nerd in his 20s sue me, I'm still learning! It never spends too much time going into the how and why of things, it's more 'Dredd and Batman together. Let's roll with it and have some fun! High point of the book was Joker making it into Megacity One, becoming immortal, only to find it all taken away from him on his return to Gotham.
He thought he finally had the upper hand on Batman Fun and easy read. He thought he finally had the upper hand on Batman. Think again! Low point was probably the Lobo crossover that finished the book. He's a character that's never really appealed to me much but I am someone who reluctantly got into Deadpool recently and has never read any Judge Dredd before, so what do I know?
But it did have a character called Buttface with a Butt for a face, which was pretty hilarious. A truly odd collection of 4 tales of Batman and Judge Dredd. On the whole I would say I found it enjoyable. The differing styles of Batman vs Dredd are obvious- Dredd is far more lethal and violent. He also comes off as a dunce. The story starts with a Mega-City 1 criminal coming to Gotham and running into Batman.
Batman is then sent to MC1 and is nearly arrested by Dredd. This starts the collection and establishes their relationship. Then the next few stories wrap up their team up against the D A truly odd collection of 4 tales of Batman and Judge Dredd. Then the next few stories wrap up their team up against the Dark Judges. In between we have some of the Gotham criminals working with the criminals from MC1. Riddler and Joker figure prominently. The stories are unique and original, though I hesitate to call them good.
Dredd's stories tend to be different from the standard Batman style. It certainly is more of an acquired taste than anything else. In general, I would state that this is not my cup of tea. Dredd's story is more about the setting and the strange aliens that populate the setting more so than any inherent quality of the story itself. In a collection I didn't think them awful and throw in the strangeness of watching the Joker interact with Dredd and Batman was amusing.
The Riddler story was interesting as well. However compared to far better written Batman stories, these really fall short. They have more of a rushed quality that capitalizes on the interaction of these two storied crime fighters. Dredd is a rather one-dimensional character and that can be problematic in any long series with him as the star. Batman helps flesh out the story more. The art has a very Arkham Asylum feel to it. Some of it is rather good in a bizarre way. Again it is not suited for everyone.
In a collection like this I thought it decent, though normally I would find it appealing. None of these stories have that "wow!
It is more of a "huh that's weird" style. I am glad I bought this for my collection but it did not make we want to go out and read the rest of the Dredd series. I don't think it's really suited to the style or the writing I look for in my books. I would only recommend this to big Judge Dredd fans.
Normal batman fans may either love or hate this collection. The depth of the story is shallow. This collection works primarily due to the convergence of these two very different crime fighters having to work together and complement each other.
An odd but certainly unique addition to my collection. View 2 comments. Feb 02, Robert Hood rated it really liked it. This is a beautiful book, beautifully drawn and produced. It's also grotesquely surreal, visually, and reading it is like plunging into some sort of drug-induced nightmare.
While not the best of either Dredd or Batman, the stories have the irresistible attraction of bringing these two iconic characters together -- one a law enforcer who is ultraviolent and willing to kill in accordance with his world's unforgiving laws, the other a vigilante who does what the police can't do in his world but avo This is a beautiful book, beautifully drawn and produced.
While not the best of either Dredd or Batman, the stories have the irresistible attraction of bringing these two iconic characters together -- one a law enforcer who is ultraviolent and willing to kill in accordance with his world's unforgiving laws, the other a vigilante who does what the police can't do in his world but avoids killing at all cost. Their trans-dimensional interactions bring Batman to Mega-City One, where he becomes a fugitive, and Dredd to Gotham, where he's faced by villains different from his own but equally bizarre and deadly.
Gradually they develop respect for each other as their core similarities clarify through surface differences. All up, a very welcome and unique collection for fans of either character, or both.
