THe uniform really doesn't look like any Dredd I recognize but if it's got John Wagners blessing who am I to argue.

The only thing that looked a little odd to me when first seeing the costume was the helmet. It's not how high it sits, but that the visor seems to sit quite far out from the face. I think it's that gap that makes the helmet look bigger than it actually is.

Then again, it's not a massive deal for me. Overall I think the costume looks pretty good and it's been mentioned that it'll probably look a lot different in motion. The new Judge outfit definitely seems to fit the more grim film universe that has been hinted at.

All in all I'm cautiously optimistic for the film. Roll on 2012!  :P

That's the only way you'll get the visor to cover the wearer's nose otherwise it'd be jutting out beneath or squashed behind. As is, the visor edge is still quite close to the nose.

Yeah, I don't think it actually is that far forward really, it just seemed like that on a first look. I'm not hugely bothered though as I still think it looks pretty badass. :)

Bolland drew it far out from the face all the time.

One of the hardest things to realize is actually how many different Dredd helmets were drawn over the years.. No matter what you do, there is no definitive 'right' helmet.. There are criteria they have to adhere to, but basically there's no two the same. This one's a practical realization of some of the more classic lids, and not the golfball or traffic cone extremities..

Thanks, mate, for reminding me how much I love Bolland! Just wonderful stuff.

I don't read comics regularly nowadays... I'm a bit out of the loop. But I doubt that anything recently comes close to classic 80s 2000AD....!

I think the anticipation of that moment happening on-screen would send us all into geek overload . . .

I would prefer Dredd to go the simple route if he met Fear and do this...
