Dark Judges Origins - A Cabal Of Twisted And Deranged Judges Harbinger Of Death And Pain - Explored

[@dinaskalo7752]

Ok as far as i know Fear didnt have a face , as far i can remember he made u face your fears and thats why Dredd wasnt bothered cuz he aint afraid of anything. Also in my opinion it was one of Dredds finest moments as Fear looms over Dredd and says " Stare into the face of fear" and Dredd replies with " Stare into the fist of Dredd " and promptly punches Fear right through the back of his head :)

[@BjornV1994]

An awesome and somewhat hilarious comic panel if you ask me...

[@hoodspaghetti2928]

Ok yo that's cool af lol

[@patscannell1255]

correct

[@Pridefallen975]

He does now

[@wolfmanhcc]

I always thought dredd seen the law being broken.

[@daemonblackfyre3238]

I see where DC got its Dark Knights Metal idea from. Even to the looks of the Merciless and the Batman Who Laughs.

[@ElMalito187]

Lol 😆. Yep I thought the same thing as well.

[@cptsteele91]

Yeah Batman who laughs literally is just the "changed a few words" judge death

[@damianstarks3338]

I commented something similar to what you have said here.

[@damianstarks3338]

@@cptsteele91 exactly.

[@robertcopp2411]

Judge Death also has a way better name than “The Batman Who Laughs”. It’s like something stupid a 5 year old would make up.

[@roryscott2941]

It's sad that Stallone's Judge Dredd poisoned the well. Karl Urban deserved more time

[@damianstarks3338]

I see what you mean here.

[@horrormike]

The Garland/Urban Judge Dredd is one of the best comic book to live action films ever made. Unbelievably, it did not do well at the box office so it looks like they won't do a sequel. I'm skeptical of the series, we'll see.

[@juckoosaurus]

i remember the trailers they were so bad and the poster did he move a diservice they should have used the ost cover as the movie poster

[@RickkBlanc]

Just yesterday I was thinking on your past judge dredd videos! This is my Xmas present guys! Thanks have a great holiday!

[@markgrehan3726]

The Fall of Deadworld comic books are simply awesome from the art to the story. It really fleshes out the Dark Judges backstory.

[@WitWP359]

Even though he only appeared in the Judge Dredd Batman cross over trilogy, the Dark Judge, Judge Joker should really have been given a mention due to the circumstances in how Joker became a Dark Judge.

[@MrThunderwing]

What was interesting about the Judge Joker thing, is that normally after a crossover has finished, it often doesn't get mentioned again (almost like it never happened), but I can recall in a later 2000AD there was specific mention about the incident and the 'visitors from Gotham' (or something like that), which I thought was pretty cool. And yeah, The Batman Who Laughs totes looks like a Dark Judge.

[@jacobs1234100]

If these characters came into cinema you'd have a crazy outcome and I'm sure alot of fans

[@widdershins5383]

I don’t blame you, laughing at life being a crime is what makes them so great lol

[@duncanself5111]

I love 2000AD! Slaine is another great character with really excellent artwork

[@jamesclukey7488]

These Judges were made into 1/8th scale figures. Three of them. I was fortunate enough to buy them from an adult collector in Great Britain last year. Very expensive, but beautifully rendered !

[@archangel1547]

Man, Judge Dredd needs to call the Ghostbusters.

[@TuberoseKisser]

I love the Dark Judges a lot, I like the Deadworld versions specifically because they feel like a threat, they succeeded in wiping out life, having them get beaten by Dredd and Anderson gets tiresome after a while. The Batman crossover was also amazing but it would have been neater if Fear and Scarecrow met

[@shainewhite2781]

Thanks for the video!! See you later!! Stay safe and Merry Christmas ⛄🎄

[@sleeperyjeemtoybox]

Wow, first time I've seen Bolland's art recoloured its stunning.

[@ayarlett]

Brian Bolland is the master when it comes to the art of the dark judges. Read the comics as a kid and to this day, no-one has drawn them better.

[@criseancurry888]

I see where DCs dark knights of the multiverse got its inspiration.

[@wealthprosper6251]

The Batman who laughs: twin? Judge Death: twin? **gives a bro hug**

[@damianstarks3338]

Lol my thoughts exactly the Batman who laughs got his appearance from judge death man’s it wouldn’t surprise me if judge death and the Batman who laughs were brothers.

[@amied7361]

Batman and judge dread looks at each other Batman : this bad Judge Dread: yep

[@damianstarks3338]

Judge death is sick as fuck and an awesome villain in the judge dredd universe. The Batman who laughs got his appearance from judge death.

[@panguskhan5490]

Come on Netflix or prime. This would be an awesome TV show or even a movie series.

[@MisterSinister47]

Remember how we had the Spawn animated TV show? They should make a show like that for Dredd. Oh and how do we NOT have a video game of this? How is Judge Dredd not the perfect videogame hero?

[@fawfulmark2]

There is a TV show in the works(Mega-City One) being made by Rebellion but it's been in development limbo for a while. As for Dredd videogames there are 4 I'm aware of: a SNES game based on the Stallone film, a railgun shooter for the PlayStation, the FPS Dredd vs. Death for PS2/Xbox/GC/PC and a mobile game.

[@RekashalGames]

@@fawfulmark2 Honestly after watching this I'm debating finding a version of dredd vs death lmao

[@ExiledAbomination]

I feel like judge fear was part of the inspiration for toepick in Ben 10, the helmet opening and showing the victim what they fear most just seems awesome to me

[@l0sts0ul89]

Makes sense.

[@sephtakamura3647]

Yeah that's right it was confirm by man in action

[@johnryder1713]

RIP Max Von Sydow, his death is one we all regret, and Thanks Marv Vids

[@robando2922]

Here I thought this was just a dark scifi world, didn't know they had supernatural 😳

[@keychainere]

They have exorcism judges in the comic.

[@mackdiesel6437]

It's scary to realize that this could be the truth in a not so distant future. The society breakdown and failed government. On the plus side no undead enemies yet.

[@surtaandume_psykermystyk4010]

Judge Death: Unofficial inspiration for The Batman Who Laughs. I'm seeing a little bit of The Merciless(Batman with the powers of the actual God of War, Aries) helmet in Judge Fear's helmet, as well😉

[@DonNoDraper]

Should’ve made this storyline a movie

[@RamonChiNangWong078]

Classic. I still remember what Judge Dredd said to Judge Fear. and then proceed to punch Fear in the face

[@zacharyarmstrong3274]

I liked that game where you get to fight each of the Judges.

[@surtaandume_psykermystyk4010]

The disturbing body-horror that is ingrained into the origins of the Dark Judges, Judge Death specifically, would be a great project for Phil Tippett( Mad God) to make into a no doubt visually enthralling adaptation. _I_ think it would be fairly badass, anyway lol

[@TheWinezen]

Judge Dredd 2 should begin a trilogy to fight the Dark Judges!

[@ThoughtsOfTheHumanMind]

Ah that’s what’s The Batman who laughs reminded me of.

[@BoRaiChoWins]

Ooooh I’m excited for the series. I hope it’s good

[@ElMalito187]

Judge Death served the template for the Batman Who Laughs

[@MrThunderwing]

Cool video. If you're interested in a bit more Dark Judges origins stuff, there's a Judge Anderson story where she gets psychically transported to Deadworld, right before it's fall, that features Judge Fire in a big role back when he was still human, going by the name of Fuego (Spanish for fire, innit?). Also, from what I recall of the Deadworld story arc, it's later revealed that the Sisters of Death themselves were never actually human, despite being able to appear so and are actually some sort of trans dimensional being intent on chaos and destruction and steering worlds towards Armageddon. There's also another 'sister' who's actually good, who inhabits Byke in the Deadworld story.

[@andrewlaidlaw7975]

From the initial Dredd film in the 1990's and the newer one in 2013/14 it does raise the question of when & if the next Judge Dredd film might be other than the a re-book of the film whenever that might be.

[@JoeElJalapeno1810]

Ok that one just Ghost Rider but it's fine imitation is the most sincere form of flattery

[@sonicboom104]

9:56 oh so this is where they got the god of war Batman design from

[@Imperius__Rex]

TBWL is also A 1:1 Judge Death Ripoff imo. That whole series was essentially Scott Snyder shamelessly ripping off ideas from 2000 AD, That had been done better decades before hand.

[@kraios1996]

@@Imperius__Rex yep

[@ddsklokken511]

Fun fact, there was a Judge Dredd - Batman crossover. The art was incredible

[@CRSB00]

To be fair, the sentence for any "crime" in "Dreadverse" *is* death, but the fact for the Dark Judges, the crime is being alive inntge first place is what makes them more terrifying

[@JackM-ec3ll]

1:29 “as a crIMe” Sherry just had to loved the video😂

[@TacticalReaper56]

The pinball machine of this and Tales from the crip are some of the coolest pinballs ever.

Thanks for this. I love dredd. Always wondered when and if they were gonna do more with the character.

[@TheCorrodedMan]

_”Gaze into the face of FEAR!”_ (Dredd stares for a second, completely unphased, before ramming his fist through Fear’s open helmet) “Gaze into the fist of Dredd, Creep!”

Absolutely outstanding Judge Death is one the best Villans ever!!!! Thanks again for all these outstanding video's! Happy Christmas 🙂 🎄 ☃️

Judge Death should be sentenced to an eternity of the same torment that he subjected his dog to.

Yeah how terrifying the dark judges really are But sad won't ever get a sequel of dread

Awesome video, guys! Judge Dredd rules 🤘😎

[@samuelmedina9984]

Love your channel

[@RECALLAUDITS]

Judge Death's thinking never made sense to me: "The crime is life, the sentence is death" ...so if life is a crime, then by that logic, wouldn't death be a reward, and not a punishment?

[@jimtroeltsch5998]

Well, when someone commits a crime you don't punish them by allowing them to keep committing crimes do you? A bank robber doesn't get a sentence of having to steal from more banks.

[@MikefromTexas1]

Oh that poor dog.

[@intense_pickle]

Idk why people get excited when a franchise turns into a TV series...they're rarely good, and even when they are, the eventually overstay their welcome and stagnate...

[@House.Of.Pain.]

By looking at this I can now see where Batman’s Dark Knight’s Deathmetal and the Batman who laughs comes from lol

[@princekalender2154]

Seeing what's happening in France this days, Judge Dredd will becoming a necessity.

[@RyanKufang1]

I love the dark judges Fear is my favorite the helmet is so bad ass I wish they start up a new show or the even an anime that puts the dark judges as the main problem for Dredd

Apparently, Gareth Edwards, who directed the excellent Rogue One is working on an adaptation of Rogue Trooper, which is another 2000AD strip. Maybe he just loves a rogue, but then don't we all?

2000ad will live forever. You could make dozens of cool Films from its worlds. I still read my ABC warriors and slaine and halo jones graphic novels .

What’s name of the background music you’re playing? I’ve been trying to find it for a while now

Good question I would like to know this myself.

[@iGO2far]

Am I the only one getting dark multiverse and the batman who laughs vibes from this?

[@ironreed2654]

Considering their both English in origin and would of know about each other...but Judge Death looks almost like a 40k Chaplain.

[@flatheadgg2443]

I fail to see the similarity but yeah 40k definately was heavily inspired by the judge dredd comics. Also judge fear is pretty much just a nightlord

[@theunitedcommonwealth715]

You got your right and left mixed up for Judge Mortis.

[@TVBoomCity]

How we dont have a Judge Dredd against the dark judges movie ? Slaine / Rogue Trooper movie?? Ridiculous!

[@VFoundGaming]

I can see it now. Either this will have its own T.V show series or its own movie based on all of this. who more powerful? JUDGE DEATH and the rest of the Judges VS THE BATMAN WHO LAUGHS and rest of corrupted Batmen.

Why didn't anyone tell me about this flushed out backstory about Deadworld. I could have used this knowledge years ago. Thanks for this intel👍
