What would Gotham be like if Judge Dredd were around to police it?
>>78595132
Cleaner
Dead
>>78595132
>>78595132
He'd put an end to Gotham's biggest problem criminal.
>>78595132
No Batman. With no Batman, there is no Joker, Riddler, Penguin, and any other weird bad guys running around.
>>78595289
>It's that easy to Job batman
I like dredd and all but doesn't that batfucker put like gas in his mask to stop people from peeping?
>>78595313
What if Batman was around?
Would Batman be able to stop Dredd? Would Dredd be able to commence JUSTICE to the criminals who broke the Law?
>>78595420
Dredd is smarter, more resourceful, and
>>78595132
It'd very quickly stop being Gotham City.
Does "startling" really count as "scaring" Judge Death? All he does is lunge at him and say "boo".
>>78595468
Guys I think Batman just got anon.
>>78595420
Assuming Dredd is following the law, and there was a law in place allowing him to execute people, I doubt he'd stop him unless the villain was just straight up executed.
Like, does Batman stop every cop who fires on a henchman? It'd be like that.
Which one would you rather have protect your city?
>>78595132
A warzone just like normal because they wouldn't let him fix Arkham or the lousy prisons felons keep escaping from
>>78595614
Comic Dredd was only ever allowed to execute colluders in a time of war though. He follows the Law to the letter.
>>78595787
>Implying the worst of the worst wouldn't be killed on the spot
>>78595908
Like >>78595859 said, Dredd follows the law because Dredd is THE LAW. I doubt he'd execute anyone in Gotham but in Mega-City 1 killing them would probably happen if they escaped from prison.
Fuck Gotham, Dredd needs to go to Hub City.
>>78596436
>>78595908
>>78595859
The one exception I can think of would be if anyone tried to attack him. Maybe not in hand to hand combat, because there are way too few perps who can take on him like that, but if he found himself in a gunfight all bets are off.
>>78595614
Every time a cop pulls out a gun near Batman he just stares at them, menacingly.
>>78596633
Anything that is legal (Someone attacking him, someone attacking a civilian) would call for lethal force and unlike Batman, Dredd would do it.
The thing is, pretty much every perp in Gotham would attack.
>>78595313
...Since when did Batman make the Penguin?
He's a fucking mob boss, he's been running this shit since before Batman was Batman, he's still be doing his thing if Batman wasn't around.
That's like saying no Batman means no Killer Croc or fucking Poison Ivy.
How was the Batman meets Dredd comic series?
>>78596625
Funny enough, I think he'd actually clean that one up faster than Gotham. Gotham has the batfamily, an actual police department and gimmicky villains to deal with. Hub City's criminals are just scum, the most routine of creeps possible, and in a much smaller place than MC-1. Hell, I'd be surprised if there's more people in the whole city than in a single Mega Block. So it'd be intensive, and he'd probably need to restock on weapons and ammo, but he could clean the place much faster than Gotham.
>>78596687
Mind you, we're talking about attacking Gotham City Civilians. Dredd, unless we're talking Pat Mills' "The law cannot turn a blind eye!" version, would mostly worry about his own safety over Gotham citizens'.
>>78595132
much better off than if pussyboi Batman were doing it
>>78595393
And if any cop has dealt with crazy ass shit like exploding electrified clothing, it's dredd.
Actually, I think he dealt with electrified underwear.
>>78596812
>more people in the whole city than in a single Mega Block
I'm thinking the reverse but it still wouldn't be that hard for him to clean the city by himself. The question is how would he prevent it from slipping back into mayhem?
>>78596962
He couldn't, short of bringing in more judges to take over, turning the whole city in an iso-cube, or burning it to the ground.
>>78597230
Why not do all three? And what about the Question?
>>78597291
Well, you can do options A and B together (and it's probably what they'd go for, since it'd give MC-1 a foothold in that reality), but C is kind of an ultimate measure.
Vic Sage's a vigilante and very inquisitive journalist, so he's gonna get his shit pushed in one way or the other.
>>78597416
Makes sense, blasting the city to hell and back would be a waste. Is Bludhaven still around or is it still a crater?
If Dredd was in Marvel, you know he and both Cap and Frank would fight. Cap with his ideals on America and how it should be handled, and Frank being...well Frank.
>>78597513
I dunno if it even exists in the New52, but I'm gonna say maybe.
>>78595672
Dredd. The Judge system if installed today would, if nothing else, get results.
What comic heroes or villains would make good judges?
Dredd is cute. CUTE
>>78597965
>>78597728
Then the heros there would have to deal with the Judges
>>78597799
They'd have to be a hard ass because MC-1 demands that sort of thing
>>78597965
Sexual advances onto Judges is illegal, anon.
>>78597965
See you in aversion therapy.
>>78598046
>>78598091
It's not illegal to lust after a judge from afar.
>>78598110
That issue started with a dude LOOKING at Dredd funny, so...
>>78598160
Dredd wont know i'm looking. I'm 200 stories up looking at him with binoculars, while masturbating.
>>78596692
I think he's implying all the other villains would be dead or in jail.
>>78595132
Well he's only one Judge. But Gotham, I don't think not even the Gotham from Beyond, is anywhere near a fraction of the size of Megacity 1. He'd probably clean it up pretty well. Assuming he's given authority in Gotham and there's no Bats or JL to stop him.
>>78598218
>looking at him with binoculars
>while masturbating
Enjoy it while it lasts anon. The Judges will book your ass on stalking and illegal surveillance.
Never got a chance to read any Dredd, should really change that when I can. There's one thing I'm confused on. Is he the kind to go straight to lethal force or is that just last resort for him? Or does it depend on the writer? Way I hear people talk about him it's hard to tell.
Crime free and a vacation for Dredd.
Gotham's population would equivalent to one, maybe two city blocks. A good judge on a block keeps crime near zero and they only have about 2-4 judges running it.
>>78598489
Dredd is very good at taking perps alive, by judges' standards, but if he's being shot at or if lives are at stake he will shoot to kill with no hesitation.
>>78598412
>implying i won't be an informant for the Justice Dept, using my sweet nocks to spot crime and call it in, thus having a cover story for why i am spying on people with binoculars.
>>78598489
It's complicated. In mega city one, they frown upon sentencing people to death. So technically killing is a last resort, BUT the second someone disobeys a judge they are allowed to use any means necessary to "subdue" them. Generally Dredd will shoot to try and talk to them, and then if he does fight them he fights to incapacitate, unless his life or the life of others is endangered then he kills.
>>78598512
>Dredd
>taking a vacation
>ever
>>78598006
>Implying Dredd would give his cherry up to a tainted pussy that easy
Anon you should know better than that.
>>78598701
He needs someone as pure and virginal as he is.
>>78598679
The man literally can't even handle a full day off, I can't imagine what he'd do in vacation.
>>78598679
Enforcing the law in any place not MC1 is easy mode for him as the city is the size of the east+west US seaboard combined. And MC1s average citizen would put the loonies in Arkham to shame as 8 out of every 10 of them is a criminal. of joker insanity waiting to happen.
Dredd in Gotham is like making batman a mall cop. His only problems would be if other heroes and the local cops try to stop him.
>>78598748
But Anderson is the sluttiest reoccurring Judge in MC1. Anyone else seems like they'd have dad issues trying to get close.
Hershey might work as a weird hate relationship.
>>78598962
>Anderson is the sluttiest reoccurring Judge in MC1
Aren't you forgetting someone?Unless you meant her for the dad issues.
Faux shipping aside, I do find it incredibly amusing that Hershey was always the one woman Dredd felt comfortable around. Anderson was too flippant and liberal, thing with DeMarco got really awkward real fast, Vienna makes him uncomfortable just by existing, and so on. Hershey, by comparison, is the closest Dredd has ever met to a rule 63 himself, especially after the Judge Child Quest. Fiercely devoted to the city, with no distractions of any kind, a street judge through and through. Breaks my heart to see how he treats her nowadays.
>>78598489
Kill someone/threaten to kill someone and a Judge will kill you no questions asked.
If you are just robbing or something like that they will definitely try to take you alive.
remember that time Captain Falcon was Dredd
I'm amazed there was never some kind of Dredd/Robocop crossover comic.
I mean, he's crossed over with batman, and both Alien AND predator, iirc, but the one property clearly most influenced by Dredd, (and potential for some fun) never crossed over
what a shame
>>78600935
I get the impression there is bad blood there. Not surprising considering how blatantly Robocop rips Dredd off.
>>78595222
ded joker
Yeah, it'd be pretty easy for Dredd to take down Gotham's crime. Have you noticed how Dredd doesn't really have arch-enemies? He doesn't let them live that long. Joker would be shot dead straight away.
The only question is if Dredd would be able to take out Batman, mainly because I believe in that 'prep-time' thing to an extent and it's likely Batman would be able to see and prepare to take on Dredd before Dredd knew about the Batman. So that's a wild card.
Can someone post the Dredd recommendation chart?
>>78595859
Why do people keep saying the judges don't execute people? There have been at least three on-the-spot executions in the comics: Lazarus Kohlrabi for mass murder, Deeter Malthus for child slavery, and Mental Gomez for supervillainy, as well as all the interdimensional conspirators during Helter Skelter. There's also been instances of judges executing surrendered criminals during crises because they don't have the resources to imprison them.
>>78599119
>Stealing his tongue virginity
That some DIO levels of evil. No wonder she quit and works for a monkey now.
Safe
>>78603680
Because its pretty liberal in how its used. Generally a Judge can off any perp that isn't surrendering or commiting a minor crime. However if it is done without regard than SJS will move in and give them a free ticket to Titan.
>>78603669
Well there is PJ Maybe. Although he isn't alive because Dredd gave up.
>>78598006
>>78598748
>unlawful portrayal of judges
That's eight years in the cubes for you, perps.
What's some essential dreddcore?
>>78603988
Here.
We should really look at expanding this, what did people think of Day of Chaos?
>>78604305
If nothing else, removing the reference to /rs/ would help.
I'm trying to find time to write a brief thing about the other, non-Dredd 2000AD series, but its slow going.
>>78604376
I'm really not that well versed in Modern Dredd. I'm working my way through the Case Files while grabbing the occasional graphic novel/prog here and there. I'm not sure what else to add.
>>78604312
>>78604376
>>78604560
I'm thinking Urban Warfare at least, Day of Chaos and Titan? Maybe a few of the one offs in there too.
Also, it'd be great if Classic Dredd referenced which Case Files they appeared in.
>>78604587
Barney is helpful with the case files if you know the title and roughly how old the story is
http://www.2000ad.org/?zone=covers&page=character&choice=dredd&Comic=graphicnovels
The Cold Deck / Trifecta is one of the best recent ones, but it does rely on knowing about a couple of other, non-Dredd series to have the full effect.
>>78598006
I am the d'aww!
>>78604664
I'm working on one now, Trifecta was the stealth crossover, wasn't it? I'll throw it in anyway.
>>78600935
John Wagner got told by his friends never to watch Robocop because it would make him very very angry.
>>78604664
Just to follow up on this,
The Return of Rico = CF01
The Cursed Earth = CF02
The Day The Law Died = CF02
Judge Death = CF03
The Judge Child = CF04
Unamerican Graffiti =CF04
The Apocalypse War = CF05
Judge Death Lives = CF05
OZ = CF011
Tale of the Dead Man = CF14
Necropolis = CF14
Not done the Modern Dredds, I know for a fact the first America book won't be collected in a Case File, as it is its own thing.
>>78604587
A fellow did that a while back. Here you go.
>>78604305
Day of Chaos is fucking awesome. So was Trifecta. So yeah, those two should definitely go in.
>>78596692
Implying your idea of Penguin hasn't deluded by Gotham tv series.
What do you guys think?
>>78605016
Looks good, though I'd work on the order in the Modern Dredd bit. Maybe the left column can be the chronological stories (Day of Chaos goes after Tour of Duty, then Trifecta, then Titan) and the right column can be left for all the short one-offs and spinoffs (Bury My Knee, Young Death, Urban Warfare, Shamballa).
Also, Mechanismo should go after Twilight's, and if you're gonna put there you may as well put Wilderlands too.
>>78605000
Blimey, really looks like there's not much of note from CF05 to CF11, doesn't it? I intend to work my way through them all anyway.
>>78605016
I know this isn't the best looking thing ever, but hopefully it's got the right amount of info.
>>78605096
I made it on paint, so won't be editing it anytime soon. Probably not the best idea, I realise. Maybe I'll work on a new one when I've got Photoshop at Uni.
>>78605016
Personally I would have said that Dead Man and Necropolis did more to define "modern" Dredd than America. It was a culmination of a huge number of Dredd sagas stretching all the way back to his origins, and was the starting point of the Democracy factions and Dredd's doubts about the Judge system.
>>78605112
Case File 7 actually has City of the Damned, which is great although somewhat cut short, and Graveyard Shift, a story that I always found to be sort of a template to what modern Dredd would become, very ahead of its time in a lot of ways.
What makes the Case Files so great is that you get not just the big sweeping storylines but also the smaller, "Routine" one-offs and the mini-epics, and those are just as important (and in some ways, even more) to the development of the setting as the huge apocalyptic epics.
Why do we never see people talking about Superfiend? It's awesome.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usKo1IaTHjA
>>78605133
Gotcha. You're doing a great job!
>>78605199
It really is. Not just in the awesome Ren and Stimpy crazy 90s MTV cartoony bullshit, but I also really enjoyed the little changes, like how Rico goes straight to pick up Vienna after escaping Titan. He doesn't even bother with Joe, he just wants to see his niece. It's an interesting change from "OOO HOW I HATE YOUR GUTS JOEY BOY!"
Dredd's VA is pretty crappy tho'. Sounds like a guy trying real hard to be badass. Would've loved to see Toby Longsworth back in the role.
>>78598006
Absolutely disgusting
>>78605241
Thanks, hope it's useful to someone. I'm going to keep posting it in Dredd threads until people tell me not to.
Also, got this for Christmas, he's awesome.
>>78605356
Yooo, that's awesome! I can't believe the small but super strong deluge of awesome Dredd figures we're getting. Fucking ThreeA put out some pics of their Mortis a few weeks back so now all they're missing is Fire to complete the fearsome foursome. It's like a dream.
A really expensive dream...
>>78595420
Dredd is like a Batman/Punisher cross with better tech and much more experience. Dredd would wreck Batman if Bats doesn't have some kind of bullshit plot armor.
Things would turn to shit relatively quickly.
>>78605512
I saw the Judge Death figure and it was pretty neat. I am trying to cut back on buying figures (they rarely leave me as happy as I think they would) but I am completely over the moon with Judge Dredd, fantastic product.
>>78605636
Yeah, there's some good fucking stuff coming in this year. And we still have Johnny Alpha, Nemesis the Warlock and Judge Anderson figures to come.
This motherfucker right here...
>>78605766
>>78605814
Say what you will about the stuff Britain shits out but a lot of it has style.
>>78595589
it was a joke, like duh?
>>78605016
Not sure about including Anderson solo stories, maybe a seperatate Anderson rec list?
Also, no City of the Damned, Emerald Isle or Origins?
>>78605766
I wish we'd get a movie Dredd figure like those.
>>78607215
Origins is in it.
But no Enceladus :(
>>78605016
Maybe throw in on the side a list of stories/characters that take place in Dredd's world? Or at least make mention of the megazine also expands on the world too. Though this may be too in depth for a simple rec but I've never seen a complete listing of titles that expand his earth outside the city.
I also think people highly rate the crossovers.
>>78607327
Bugger you're right my bad. Hard not to make a rec list that isn't : JUST READ EVERYTHING!!! 1! ¿
Even bad Dredd is better than 90% of cape comics.
Man, i would pay waaaaay too much money for 2000AD to release an official Mega City Boof of Law
>>78607316
There's a statue coming from Planet Replicas in a while, based off Henry Flints' art, but yeah, an articulated 3D Dredd would be god-tier. Of course, there's always Art Figures' "Heavy Armored Special Cop"...
>>78607411
The crossovers are good entry level material, but not much else. Incubus, the Aliens one, is prolly a good intro to modern Dredd.
As for stories expanding outside MC-1, the good ones are Hondo City Justice, Armitage, Devlin Waugh, Samizdat Squad and the Chopper spinoff (or at least, the first half of it). There's some other borderline stuff, like Pan-African Judges, but mileage varies a lot.
There's also the Simping Detective and Low Life, both dealing with undercover judges within Mega-City One. Good stuff, and it leads into Trifecta.
>>78595132
It would be a nice city because Dredd gets shit done.
>>78607664

>>78607327
>>78607411
I was honestly not the right person to make an updated Judge Dredd Rec list. I've not read many of those stories, including some of the ones I've added. Best case scenario for me would be starting something others would want to continue. I might give it a go on Powerpoint or something, but I don't have great pic-editing software.
>>78595132
They would just build a big iso-cube around the whole city.
What is the criteria for 'Classic' Dredd, like a timeline or something? Is 1990 (publication of America) what is considered Modern?
>>78607667
Yea I can't stand by the quality but a full listing to see the full scope of the entire world. Especially since you got stuff showing what sov-cit has been up to and mean bean machine last story being in the Black Museum.
>>78607871
Anon don't feel bad. Dredd has a lot of history to cover. Shit I'd be amazed if the 2000ad company could list off every off shoot story connected to Dredd.
>>78607956
Kind of a tricky one. Personally, I always felt like Necropolis was the last classic Dredd epic, but before it you have the Democracy storylines, which are all very modern in nature. America is a pretty good hinge point though, probably the strongest one.
>>78607871
Don't be discouraged anon, it's a good start and you covered the real essentials, keep working on it. I'm sure we are all intersted to see the finished product.
What are 2000AD like as a whole? Mostly decent?
>>78608133
>>78607978
>>78607215
Working on it now. Suggestions and recs welcome. (Chronology is a big thing)
>>78608172
Mostly, it has the usual problems associated with anthology comics but there has always been enough quality to keep me coming back each week for 30 years.
Don't think I'm completely finished. Room for more 'modern' Dredd and Spin-Offs/One-Offs.
>>78595132
He'd follow the Laws of Gotham City
not the Laws of Mega City One
Probably safer.
>>78608529
I'm not a fan of the Superfiend YT series, but thank you Anon.
>>78608529
Looking good.

That wouldn't be completely out of place, Psi Judges have a broad range of talents.
>>78610279
I'm trying to picture what it would look like, but I got nothing, the name on the other hand would probably be Prime Time.

Smaller.
The only Dredd I ever read was the ongoing Judge Dredd: Lawman of the Future back when I was a kid. Were all the stories in there taken from 2000AD, or were they written specifically for Lawman of the Future? I only found out a while back that it was a "movie continuity" comic, and had no idea of any of that kind of thing at the time
No more gay relationships between Batman and Joker. Isocubes for all, no more Arkham revolving doors.
>>78596633
>>78596687
True, I forgot about that. that would still only leave about half of Gotham's crooks dead though, especially once word started getting around. And most of them would be either henchmen or the flat out psychos like that guy with all the scars.
>>78598006
This is obviously a trap for some kind of psi-menace that feeds off emotion.
>>78611540
Law Man of the future was mostly original content aimed at younger readers and is actually surprisingly good.
They had hoped to cash in on the Stallone movie but when that tanked LotF went with it.
>>78610494
It would probably depend on the individual psi. How do stands work anyway? I've never actually read JJBA, they seem to be beefy punch ghosts people can summon for some reason.
>>78595393
Mega-City 1 has a metric shitload of Batman gadgetry for any punk to just pick up. Dredd has literally seen it all, and his suit alone would have defended against any mask security. Gotham is smalltime.
>>78612703
Stands are "physical" manifestation of the user's fighting spirit. Whether they are made of hamon (a fighting technique based on light and breathing) depends on the season (iirc in 3 they are, later it's not clear.) Stand powers vary a lot and only other stand users can see them.
If you are weak willed and manage to get a stand, the stress can actually kill you.
>>78612709
There's also the fact that Dredd's not going to be terribly impressed by Batman's "I am the night, fear me" routine.
Hang on, here's a thought - are we talking about current Dredd and current Batman? As in the currently published incarnations? Because Dredd's adventures with Batman are still canon for Dredd, but possibly not for Nu52 Batman. Current Dredd would remember key details about Batman, Gotham city and the rogues even if the Tek Judges hadn't been doing any homework on the DC Dimension in the intervening years.
>>78595132

>>78612922
I thought New52 Batman was mostly untouched, considering Damien and Batman Inc were still around, but I may be wrong.

There's a documentary on the making of Robocop where the show an early design of Robocop's helmet... and it looked like Dredd's.

>but it would take years to kill everyone who needs killing in Gotham Shitty.
Not really. If Dredd is following Gotham law and not his own, then it's all natural police work. So all the eccentric fuckers with gimmicks would definitely be the first to go; most likely due to them trying something 'crazy' and getting shot for it.
Other than that though -- imagine Dredd having a classic mobster shootout with Two-Face, or him taking down Penguin's empire from the ground up. Shit like that would more of a story.
>>78617427
No, Robocop was just heavily inspired by Judge Dredd.
>>78595132
Dredd is Punisher with Authority. So basically how much could Punisher fuck up Gotham?
>>78612922
In that case, Dredd would stomp on Batman.Second fight would have Dredd job, because Batgod, unfortunately.
>>78595132
Who could clean up Gotham first?
Dredd or Kenshiro?
>>78623449
Does Ken go out of his way to find badguys? I thought they more or less came to him for one reason or another.
Dredd would be terror incarnate to the criminals.
>>78622268
Oh god.
I'd polish Hershey's boomstick any day.
>>78623495
Ken's like a bug zapper for villains; they just can't stay away from him. He will go after people when it suits him to do so though and usually run across ten or fifteen more people that deserve to die in the process.
>>78612837
Yeah you're going to have to calm down with the whole "giving stands rules" idea

Probably Dredd.
Kenshiro usually uses physical force but doesn't delve into detective work like Dredd would do to REALLY root out the biggest problem causes in Gotham.
I mean, Kenshiro really hasn't had to do detective work. He just usually stumbles upon bad guys and does his thing. Dredd likely has tracked down tons of hidden criminals who tried to escape the law.

A lot of corpses at first.
Then a lot of peace later.
So how many Case Files do you think we have left until we're caught up to the 2010s?
>>78596812
I can't say I'd agree with you on that mark Judge. Hub City's problems aren't the kind that can be solved by arresting a shitload of people.
The place is broken on a fundamental, very basic level.
>>78628123
Because Megacity 1 was paradise, right?
>>78623327
They wrote the script for a Dredd movie, then couldn't get the rights.
How closely does the 2012 movie follow the comics, if not in plot line then in characterization?
>>78613879
It is the correct title . If this helps: 2000 AD - Prog 1924
>>78628046
Cute, but haven't Batman and Anderson gotten along?

>confronts Joker
>shoots him
>confronts Penguin
>shoots him
you get the idea

Those are good if you want the big event stories, but they don't have the same impact if you haven't read a bunch of stories where Dredd tackles day-to-day crime.
He would actually kill the violent psychopaths instead of locking them up just so they can escape and kill again.
Batman is the real villain of Gotham.

>Dredd cleans up Hub City in record time.
>He leaves, It goes back to utter shit in record time.
Well?
>>78632864
To be fair, Dredd does lock up PJ Maybe and Mean Machine Angel and they do (or did, anyway) escape quite a lot. He can even be quite compassionate to Futsies who go a-murdering after they're pushed too far.
>>78633787
What, like all at once?
>>78631925
It's pitch perfect in characterization.
>>78631051
Who said anything about those problems being solved?
>>78617427
The Robocop team were working on a Dredd movie and when that fell through they filed the serial numbers off and called it Robocop
>>78632864
Surely Joe's first order of business would be arresting most of the GCPD for corruption, gross incompetence and colluding with a know vigilante.
>>78635767
>he stays in character as they brush his helmet
this is my new favourite actor
>>78633912
PJ he wanted executed. He only got saved on account the other judges outvoted him. Mean they kept giving lobotomies till he was retarded.
Though they still have Saten locked up.
>>78637684
Interviews from around shooting are hilarious, because Thirlby is all:
>"The uniform's cool but holy shit is it hot, we had huge fans everywhere, water bottles 24/7, nobody on set could handle wearing the stuff for more than a few hours... except Karl."
And Urban is just:
>"THESE ARE THE BEST MONTHS OF MY LIFE HOLY SHIT I WAKE UP IN THE MORNING PUT ON THE SUIT SPEND ALL DAY JUDGING PERPS THEN TAKE IT OFF THEN DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN AWWW YEAAAH!"
>>78638319
Man such a shame it tanked, the director loves the character, the actor loved the role, and the fans love the film.
Yeah, I know it was partly the shitty marketing, we don't need to discuss that again.
>>78638369
We need to discuss it because I don't know what you're talking about.
>>78638319
Link, please?
>>78641148
it was shittily marketed simple as
>>78631550
Megacity 1 spans like the entire eastern US though. He'd probably set Gotham straight in a couple months time.
>>78642216
This anon might have a point. I didn't watch it because I was afraid it'd be anotjer shitty gritty movie like War Zone. Although I'm not sure how you could market it any other way than how they did.
>>78642437
The biggest mistake was calling it Dredd3D, which implied it was 3D only, not only is that shitty practice in general but if you actually saw it in 3D the slo-mo scenes mixed with shitty after effect 3D would burn your fucking retinas.
The British Trailers should have been reworked to tug on the 2000ad nostalgia heart strings. In fact there should have been a tie in promotional series with 2kAD BEFORE the film came out.
>>78595132
He's been around to police Meg 1 for decades and it's still a shithole, so I doubt we'd see any improvement. Fewer super criminals left alive, maybe
>>78642437
War Zone is an amazing gritty movie. Great double feature opportunity with Dredd.
>>78638319
Damn thats amazing.
I did a costume for comic con of classic and I had to chug water bottles to keep going. Had to take the helm off in the bathroom every 30 or so min as well.
Its gotta be 3x as hard considering DREDD has the extra armor vest as well.
>>78631550
You could fit the citizens of gotham into one apartment block of megacity. 1. It wouldn't be paradise but he'd probably knock the crime down to our modern day New York.
Although question should really be "What if the Justice Department and Gotham Police + Gotham superheros switched cities?"
>>78644654
I went in a full movie dredd for Halloween. 6 hours in the suit and armour plus alcohol. By some miracle I did not pass out but I was so dehydrated that my vocal chords dried up and my voice still hasn't recovered.
>>78644852
Sheesh man, talk about drying for your art.
