The Batman / Judge Dredd Files #[nn]
In "Part One" of *The Batman / Judge Dredd Files*, Judge Death’s brutal rampage through Gotham City forces Batman to confront a threat unlike any he’s faced—both in origin and in scale. As the Dark Knight follows Death through a fractured reality, he discovers a terrifying alliance with the Scarecrow, setting the stage for a clash across dimensions. Written by Alan Grant and John Wagner and illustrated in bold, surreal detail by Simon Bisley—whose distinctive style defines both the interior art and the cover—this 2004 crossover delivers a visceral, high-stakes encounter with a villain who doesn’t just kill, but redefines fear itself.
