Dredd (2012)

[A.Cow]

Looks like Steele has nicked Dredds Lawgiver and hidden it in, erhem ,a 'restricted area'

You've obviously not examined the dialogue properly.

There was also only about a dozen Judges in the whole of MC-1:

Thanks for digging those up Joe Soap. They sum up, for me, that feeling of a less established operation in the early days. The cops look more para-military than I recall, but still, the judges were elite and worked with police units. That lesser budget view may fit very well with what I remember. I'm digging that glass-backed bucket seat...in the not so grand hall. Love the mis-registered cols.

....and that crease! I doubt it still happens but I remember getting issues like that where the newsprint would have been creased before it hit the ink rollers, it would like cracks running through the pages. Oops...total digression....

[minus]

Nothing wrong with the orange and black... or the crease for that matter. If they dropped this onto us nowadays we'd all be raving about it. Well I would anyway. I miss that newsprint and ABC warriors as a full colour centre spread.

My Dok!  So this was the first appearance of the fabled Poo Machine!

[Bubba Zebill]

But where's the gun?...the other two have theirs booted.

You mean this Poo Machine?

(Haven't looked at that image in a while, but - man, those "Sleep Machines" were clearly done in a hurry!)

Err, I think Dredd may need a fresh uniform after that!  On second thoughts, he should lock himself up for defilement of Justice Deptartment property...

[James Stacey]

Judge uniforms have bumflaps, union suit style.

[DeFuzzed]

Carlos doesn't say it, so this is just me guessing, but he might be quibbling over the lack of tightness in the uniform. And slick-shine. Which might look cool in comics but in the real world, look pretty damn dumb. On women, it works, but on men, sorry to say but it just looks like you're in some ridiculous wrestling outfit. Even if it's black.

But more important than how it looks, is that it would be bloody horrible to wear. Under the heat of the studio lights as well as natural surrounds, the sweat would be just running rivers in there. I've had that experience, never to be repeated I swore to high heaven, and trust me, you don't want your actors suffering through that in South Africa for the better part of the day.

Also shiny ain't great for camouflage.

[darnmarr]

I always thought of Ezquerra's artwork, as more 'stubbly' than shiny, but I reckon you might be onto something with the idea that the uniform (and perhaps the city and vehicles e.t.c.) are not elaborate enough to reflect his personal vision.

It would make sense he would feel that way,- just as it would make sense that it wouldn't bother Wagner in the least; the uber-stylised uniform, designed by Carlos, was a bone of contention for Wagner back in the early days of Judge Dredd's creative development.

[darnmarr]

Found the legendary quote for Wagner's first reaction to Carlos' design:
"Fuckin Hell!  He looks like a fucking Spanish Pirate!  I'm not writing him, he looks fucking stupid!"
( this always makes me chuckle).

[Stan]

Nice. I'm not sure where I read it but that does sound familiar.
