All I've ever really known about Judge Dredd is that it was made into a Sylvester Stallone movie and that was always enough. Even though I was given this Dredd/Batman volume and even though it was skinny, I wasn't sure I was going to bother reading it. How good, after all, could it possibly be?
As it ends up, although the story is only so-so, the art by Simon Bisley is so enrapturing that the entire book is well worth your while. I wouldn't mind being given further Bats/Dredd volumes in the future.
Picture one, in which the bad guy kills in his distinctive and striking and visceral fashion:
Picture two, in which you get a sense of the mythological way the Batman is presented in this volume. He has a truly history stature, standing a good eighteen inches taller than normal people.
Picture three in which you see this book's striking rendition of the Batmobile. But even the copcars and taxis are hella cool.

Pretty pictures. All I've ever really known about Judge Dredd is that he had some crossovers with Batman in the late eighties and/or early nineties, which I never read.
