Judge Dredd vs Batman

In memory of Adam West

Dredd enters district Rainbow Falls. For three months there were reports of a masked vigilante called Batman saving lives and preaching morals. Dredd was sent to investigate. Walking through the main floor, Dredd sees many children wearing blue bat like masks. On the walls were drawings of bats. The Judge entered the elevator taking floor twenty. As soon as Dredd steps off the elevator he began his search for the vigilante. Walking down the hall the judge heard some yelling.

Man slapping child: Stupid brat! Can't you do anything right you worthless...

Judge Dredd: Hey! That's enough.

Man:Mind your own business!

Judge Dredd: Stopping the abuse of a child is my business.

Man:Abuse? I'll show you abuse.

The man walked forward taking a swing at the judge who broke his attacker's arm. As the man screamed in pain Dredd threw him up against the wall and started beating him.

Batman: Enough!

Dredd turning to see Batman: This man was abusing his child.

Batman:And that is terrible. But as an officer of the law you must hold yourself above criminals.

Dredd turned back the man:Go home and never lay finger on your child again.

The man slinks away cradling his arm.

Dredd:I heard about you. We don't have officers anymore I'm a judge.

Batman:Then I expect you to have more restraint and up hold the law.

Dredd: I do uphold the law. I am the law.

Batman:Sounds like abuse of power. Things really have changed from 1972.

Dredd:1972?

Batman: A long story but that was the year it was when I...went to sleep.

Dredd:I need you to come with me.

Batman:I respectfully decline offi...I mean judge.

Dredd: I insist you come with me or you will be arrested.

Batman:Under what charge?

Dredd:Interefering with a Judge.

Batman:Again sounds like abuse of power. As a member of law enforcement you are to be a role model and upstanding citizen. Again I respectfully decline your invitation. If you will excuse me I must go. Batman attempts to leave until Judge Dredd grabs Batman holding him against the wall.

Dredd:You were warned. Now you're under arrest.

Batman: I must apologise for this your honor.

Batman swung his elbow smashing it into Dredd's jaw then turned throwing Dredd to the ground.

Batman:Good day Judge. Batman fired a grapple and began rising to the next floor.

Dredd drawing his gun:Single Shot The judge fired the gun dropping Batman on the twentith floor.

As the dark knight attempted to stand Dredd tackled him. The two began a physical battle attempting to over power the other. Batman gains the upper hand throwing Dredd over his shoulder. The judge drew his gun.

Dredd:Stun! Dredd fired three shots into Batman who stood there uneffected. Dredd:What the hell?

Batman: Language sir. And to answer your question my suit is insulated to protect me from such attacks.

Dredd:Wonderful. Dredd put his weapon away and raised his fists.

Batman:Must we resort to such senseless violence. I have broken no laws. I just wish to help the people. Dredd paused for a moment. The camera focuses on the sincerity of Batman's eyes.

Dredd then lowered his fists: Get outta here. But I will be keeping an eye on you. Batman saluted and left. Dredd exits Rainbow Falls talking into his comlink: Judge's report. Ran into vigilante known as Batman. A pain in the ass. Other than that what one could call a model citizen. Recomendation a weekly check up.
